This skin is designed for 1920x1080 resolution. It should work with other resolutions but I don't test every single panel with every possible resolution. If you're using a different resolution and something doesn't display correctly please post your resolution and a screenshot of the issue and I'll do my best to fix it. However, I will NOT fix issues related to using different zoom levels. If you use any zoom level other than 100% you will have problems.

Installation instructions

Step 1

Download the skin.

Step 2

Extract the files (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

Move the folders inside into your skins folder:

Win Vista/7/8/10: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2016\skins
Win XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2016\skins
Mac OS X: /Users/<username>/Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2016/skins

Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.

Step 3

Start the game and go to Preferences screen and Interface tab.
You should see "Wannachupbrew-FM16-(version number)” as an option in the skin drop down of the General options section.

Hit the Confirm button.

I must be blind, but I can't see the value of a player when you click on him, like on the second screenshot of Dario Vidosic.

Brilliant skin, thanks

Btw, is there a difference between pressing instant result or simulate match? I've been using simulate match mainly

That's because it's not there yet. Last time I checked wanna hadn't found a way to put it where he wanted. That might have changed already, but it could take until the game is officially released before it gets sorted. There's no working Resource Archiever for the game until the release day and finding the right bit of code takes a lot of work at the moment.

Simulate match uses your tactics and lineup, whereas I'm pretty sure instant result your assistant selects the lineup and uses his preferred tactics.

Game and thus the Resource Archiever will be released tomorrow. I'll be helping as much as I can then. Kinda busy nowadays, but I should be able to sort something out. There's at least some work I want to do with the panels and the panel backgrounds, which I'll be sharing with you once I've done it.

Here's the new report card icons resized. I resized and included the 2x versions too if you need them. The icons without 2x versions are the ones that shouldn't be needed as they were not in FM16 graphics, but I included them just in case because they were used in FM15. I didn't resize the attribute icons yet as I'm not certain where they are used and I'll fix that later, if it's needed. Use as you please.

For some reason the weakest and strongest attribute icons are still larger than the others. I double checked and the normal icons are 40x40px in size and 2x versions are 80x80px. Makes no sense.

E: Nevermind, that must be related to the attribute icons that I talked earlier. I'll fix them too then.

E2: Resized the attribute icons too and it's now working as intended. The link is updated with the new file. There's some icons in the attributes folder without 2x version, but that's how it's in the original files too and the game is using them all. The icons without 2x versions (total of three) in the report card folder are most likely not used as they are icons from FM15, which were not in FM16. They are included just in case anyway.

I don't know if you already found this out wanna, but I spotted this from the SI forums:

NOTE: These instructions are for advanced users, as changing the setting requires applying them to a custom skin, I will include the relevent files and instructions in the base skins that should go up over the weekend to make it easy for endusers to change.

It is controlled by the files located in this folder:

\skins\fm-widgets\graphics\boxes\dialog\background

To disable it open the paper.xml file and change this line:

<boolean id="blurred" value="true"/>

To:

<boolean id="blurred" value="false"/>

That will then stop the game from blurring the background but will still darken it.

You can change the darkness level by editing the paper.png files located in that file, make them more transparent to lighten the effect, or you can change the colour by changing the colour name on this line in the xml file (or by changing the colour value in the settings file):

<colour id="red_replacement" name="dialog_background"/>


In my opinion the blurring was the worst addition to the game and I tested this and it works. Just something you might want to consider.

Hey mate, loving the skin, but how can I change the news text to default? title and inner text is a silver unbold text in your skin, I don't like it so would like to change back to default, is it possible?

If you want me to post some screens to show what I mean I would be happy to. Thanks

Hey guys, I'm away from home working for the next week so I won't be able to do much until I get back. There will be an update in a few days with a few new panels and compatibility for 1366x768 resolution that I managed to sort out before I left. Not sure what the cause of the in game editor crash people are having is. I haven't touched the attribute panel and mine works fine. Has anyone having the problem tried it on the default skin?

Hi wannachupbrew
Yes i changed back to the defaut skin this morning to test it - i tried it to change the attribute panel using the in-game editor in the player page & the attributes page, both worked fine in the default skin - in your skin its seem to be the attribute panel in your player page that is the problem but the attributes page worked fine for me -
I hope this helps - keep up the good work on your wonderful skin

It's crashing for me too when I try the in game editor player attributes section. No crash with the default skin. Not sure if this makes a difference but this is what is in the xml file, <string value="16.0.0" id="required_version"/> and I'm using version 16.1.1.

I'm still not getting the editor crash. Maybe something I've changed since the last release has inadvertently fixed it.

Hi!
Everyone who makes the skins, repeat the same mistakes. Too much of the same information. Why so many of the same? I hope the author will understand and will do better.
Good luck!
