17.12.2015: NEW UPDATE 2.1 RELEASED



BRAND NEW FEATURES (see more further down):

http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/1f2e/abyd8t5zz3apm3jzg.jpg

Due to popular demand, the Vitrex skin returns for Football Manager 2016.


Important: When updating this skin, make sure to ERASE the older version BEFORE installing the new. Don't extract into skins folder if you already have another Vitrex folder by the same name, this will merge them together and ruin the skin!


This skin is optimized for higher resolutions (minimum of 1920x1080) and might cause errors if you try to use it at a lower resolution.

The skin makers have found the solution, but not yet have able to upload the working version. There is a quick fix for the crash dumping though:
Go into the following folder and delete the "game processing panel" xml file found in both:

Vitrex16 2.0 / panels

&

Vitrex16 2.0 / panels / game

Reload skin.

Hey man, can you please fix (or add?) the unsubscribe button to inbox items as in all other skins?

What's even worse if I hide yours broken panel it changes state- Inbox-inbox_panel.xml and the button disappears even from vanilla skin.

Is there any negative effect if I delete both of that file? I mean we delete something that supposed to be there or included.

Using scout player button makes you able to scout player's outside of you scout area. So it's pretty much game breaking bug.

Any idea why unknown potential is being shown as grey stars instead of black? (and a 2.5 star CA shows with 3.5 black stars instead of grey?)

Looks great but there is something wrong with the top bar. I'm playing windowed on a Macbook.

I'd love to use this skin, but it seems that some of the graphics, such as the top bar and the news screen do not support zoom. I have a 27" 1440p monitor and I have to use 125%, but some of the @2x files are missing

I also noticed that the star colors are kinda odd. By default the empty stars are grey and the unknown stars are black, but you have them the other way around. The youth star colors are also not very different from the senior stars and can be confusing. I don't know if that's intentional, but personally it confused me a lot and I had to change them to the default values of:

<colour name="star rating senior" red="244" green="188" blue="0"/>
<colour name="star rating unknown" red="28" green="28" blue="29"/>
<colour name="star rating empty" red="202" green="202" blue="202"/>
<colour name="star rating youth" red="183" green="188" blue="191"/>


I also fixed the zoom problems simply by deleting all the @2x files, thus forcing the game using the smaller ones, as there was no config files for them anyway.

That's because the colours are set as such within the settings file. To change it go to the skin's settings folder and open the setting.xml file. At the end of the file you find <colour name=star rating senior"...> etc. Change the values to your liking. The game's default values are the ones I posted in my previous message.

Go to the panels folder and open the file called "vitrex player overview.xml" with notepad or any other text editor. Scroll down a little until you find the widget for the name and delete the following part: font="fonts/signature". That will change it to the default font and you can change the size as you wish. Instead of that you can also set whatever font you prefer by downloading the font you wish and placing it to the font folder. After that you open the "signature.xml" file and replace the file_name value from "mathilde.otf" with the name of the font you just downloaded. Below that you can set the color of the signature.

Thanks for the tip!

Any idea how to revert this panel to default (from within a match) - the condition & sharpness icons don't work for me - I want the straight "66%" condition column back?
