Thanks so much for the team colors skin, looks great even though I only have a 1080p monitor. Is there a way to get it on FHD?

 

Also, how can I change the following colors please. I would like this dark/olive green to be either in team color or if that is not possible how can I change it to white/red/blue etc please while keeping the rest of the skin team color?

excellent skin but would like a version without the stat boxes near the players faces, the updated version is better but would like to see the boxes either taken away or positioned away from the player faces. otherwise this is a top skin

 

There is a selector for the profile picture with the option for a “horizontal” layout, which places the scorecards beneath the picture!

I've added v1.4 now, which has the updated layout for FHD, and the Team Colour option.

 

Re: colours.  For the analyser, you need the following files:

 

player attribute analyser outfield
player attribute analyser goalkeeper

 

Lines 29-33 define the colours.  I would advise staying away from team colours here (“primary” and “secondary”) as it can look janky with teams who have either black or white as a main colour.

 

For the other areas, I'll have a look what controls each area and get back to you.  Neither areas were edited in the skin, so it's unlikely that the relevant files will currently be in the skin folder.

@JoãoCarvalho92  There's been a breakthrough!!!  

 

The issue is caused by the customised start screen (the silly subbuteo image).  I'll be trying some fixes tonight or, if none of them work, I'll just go back to the default start screen.  Either way, there should be a new release by tomorrow morning.

 

@JoãoCarvalho92  - the updated file has removed the customised start screen, so the issue should now be fixed!

Thank you for your answer. I remember on previous versions before team color skin when I would edit my own colors the color of these buttons and the analyser would be the color I have for my font in player/club profile. That is bg accent and bg accent1. I changed those now too and the color of font changes according to what I chose but the color of the buttons and analyser stays greenish.

 

Idk if that helps at all

@gimn85 Found it. It is controlled by Fg accent and fg accent1. When I changed that both the buttons and analyser changed colors while still having the sidebar change too according to team colors.

 

Thank you anyways, fantastic skin once again

The button is working like a love. Perfect.

Now, is possible to take out the moral and training because is strange the way they are in this moment. Or possible only stay Stats, Carreer and bio, seems more clean that way

And the second, how i can reduce the boxes of the numbers in front of the picture of the player ? I try the way you said to other person in the page before but doesnt work very well.

 

Yeah, i know, i speak too much to try the perfect skin lol

What resolution is your screen?  The FHD version at 100% on 1920x1080 should look like below:

Unfortunately, I don't think it will work particularly well at a lower resolution, although trying at 85% zoom might help.

 

I've attached an alternative version of the vertical scorecards for you.  You need to put this in the panels/player/mustermann folder

That's odd; there shouldn't be issues with fitting things on the screen.  Do you perhaps have Windows zoomed in?  You can check by searching “Ease of Access Vision settings” (well, the Portuguese translation of that quote, at least)  from the Windows Start Menu

you are right, i was and i even didnt know. So sorry, works perfect now in 100% in FM. No need to put this in 85%. 

Its a shame you did loose the image of initial screen but the rest is perfect.

No need to apologise.  I only found out it was possible, because my screen was accidentally zoomed in when trying to use a skin last year - I still don't know how I did it!!!

 

I'm confident that I'll be able to get the initial screen back, but I just need to spend more time understanding how the intro screen works - it impacts more than just the FM menu, I discovered it would also cause issues if you needed to create your manager profile on loading up the game, too.

Excuse my stupidity, but…

 

Just downloaded and placed in the ‘skins’ folder (documents/sports interactive/football manager 2021/skins) however it doesn't appear as an option in 'preferences' in game. I reckon I'm doing something obvious wrong.

Have you unzipped the files?  Your skins folder should look something like below (with folders for whichever skin you chose to extract):

i dont know either how i was in 125% but is fix. 

I hope too, i dont like to see the dude stand in the initial menu. 

Im using the skin, is very good with the fixes you gave and the others you told to do. 

 

I think @dan Bridges is trying to use the skin in FM 21, i think that is the problem he cant see the skin.

Good spot, I didn't even notice the folder link said 2021!  @Dan Bridges this might be the issue - the skin needs to be in the FM22 folder.  If you're looking for an FM21 version, unfortunately there isn't one.

My mistake, it is FM22, I wrote 21 in the file path by mistake.

 

I've got it working. I didn't realise I'd need to place the 5 folders from within the base folder individually in to the skins folder. I've done that now and it's working fine.

 

Great skin, thanks very much for everyone's replies.

I can't load the MustermanFHD skin

@Nelson Inácio are you able to provide some more details?  Is it not showing up, does an error occur, etc…?

 

Also, can you confirm you have done the following:

 

1. Extract the contents of the downloaded .rar archive by using a free tool such as 7-zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac.

2. Move the Mustermann folder of choice (QHD is for 2560x1440 resolution and FHD is for 1920x1080 resolution) to your skins folder, which is located by default at:
Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2022 > skins

Glad you managed to sort it.  For future reference, you only need to extract the folder(s) you need.  For example, if you're running at 1920x1080 resolution, and only want the Team Colours version, you only need to extract the MustermannFHD Team Colours folder.

Hi João,

 

The attribute colours are controlled in settings/MustermannFHD settings.xml, rows 341-344.  They currently look like:

 

<colour name="low attribute"        value="bg lighter"/>
<colour name="normal attribute"       value="fg accent1"/>
<colour name="good attribute"        value="fg" />
<colour name="excellent attribute"       value="bg accent1" />

 

You will want to change the values for low attribute and normal attribute.  To make them a little more visible I'd recommend:

 

<colour name="low attribute"        value="card bg lighter"/>
<colour name="normal attribute"       value="fg lighter"/>
<colour name="good attribute"        value="fg" />
<colour name="excellent attribute"       value="bg accent1" />

 

I've still been unable to find out what's causing the other problem, but still got a few other ideas to try to see if that fixes it.  It is pure guess-work at the moment, so may end up being something I'll never be able to solve!!

 

Hi gimn, first of all thanks for this amazing skin!

 

Question is, is there any chance to change the attribute colours to the original FM skin colours?

I'm not 100% certain these are the correct values, but try these (taken from michaeltmurrayuk's base22 skin):

 

<colour name="low attribute"        value="fg alpha"/>
<colour name="normal attribute"       value="fg"/>
<colour name="good attribute"        value="fg range13" />
<colour name="excellent attribute"       value="fg range20" />
<colour name="unknown attribute background"    value="bg darker"/>
<colour name="low attribute background"     value="bg"/>
<colour name="normal attribute background"     value="fm purple"/>
<colour name="good attribute background"     value="bg purple darker" />
<colour name="excellent attribute background"    value="bg accent" />

<colour name="normal attribute background"     value="fm purple"/>
<colour name="good attribute background"     value="bg purple darker" />

It won't make a difference on the skin in it's current form; it's primarily used in my graphical attribute skin (no numbers) or for skins that have the attributes in boxes.  Even though it's not in use, it's just good practice to keep it in there, in case it is needed at some point.

Fair enough, thanks again man.

 

I have noticed that the opponent team name on the league table of the touchline tablet is difficult to see while playing a match. Any chance to change that colour to make it more visible?

A little later than initially planned, but I've just uploaded the new version, which includes scorecards underneath the player picture

Is that version out? I've just downloaded the latest version and they are still over the left hand side of a players face
