The download link is for the hidden sidebar version. I've made three versions of this skin (two icon variables and a hidden sidebar version)

Due to demand I've released my personal skin for public use. Please see credits below, without their help it would have been much more of a struggle.

I've always favoured the sky sports skins of the past so I've attempted a more modern, current twist. Using the colours/style of sky sports news in particular as my main inspiration.

I will try and keep the skin updated.

I PLAY ON SMALL RESOLUTION. I WILL ENDEAVOUR TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR EVERYONE BUT QUERIES FOR THOSE OF YOU ON LARGER RESOLUTIONS WILL BE DEALT WITH IN GENERAL TERMS IN WHICH I WILL TRY AND PROVIDE PRINCIPLES WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY RESOLVE THINGS FOR YOU. NO PROMISES BUT I'LL TRY AND ASSIST IF I CAN. UNFORTUNATELY I WON'T BE ABLE TO TEST FOR SUCH THINGS DUE TO MY OWN SYSTEM LIMITATIONS THOUGH.

I envisage issues with the action bar colouring, human profile lay-out, news section (see above thread for guidance post #4) and match in between panels (see above thread for guidance also post #3) and possibly other areas for high res users.

Some panels were made by ArtDekDok (apologises unsure of how to contact you as I haven't seen you here for a while!)
Gizel - g2 skin maker - highly influential in match titlebar
Bossland - YACs2 - responsible for player/non-player profiles and club overview and influential in much more
theBantams Andromeda - provided inspiration on what was capable graphically/used some of his work as templates for graphics (refusing to accept PMs so apologises but I cannot contact you...) & settings.xml template also
AlexMorak - FMTGW - This was the first skin I used and where I started so whilst it's totally unrecognisable it provided a great over-all template.

When you are viewing a match in 3d how do you get the TV logo to stick to the skysports one?

Sorry for late reply, this website seemed quiet so only look here sparingly. I'm on the sports interactive forum daily (link in first post to my thread)

I'm not 100% sure what you're referring to so I'll try and cover as many bases as I can here, even the basics. Ignore whatever is irrelevant and I don't mean to treat you as an idiot if some of this stuff is simple to you.

Are you saying you select it and it disappears? Because I've just played two games (on comprehensive highlights in 3d on a mixture of the hidden sidebar, blue & red and 3d icon versions) and I've never had any problem with any logo disappearing, despite going through all of them. I've also tried full-screen and with titlebar present and this has no effect either. At half-time it seems you may need to select it again but I'm not sure if that's even a bug. As I can't identify any problem I'm not convinced there's anything I can or should do here...

Do you mean you want to customise the logo options? (not convinced this is what you're asking as a skysports option exists by default but I'm racking my brain) The graphics are found: C:\Users\Dan\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2016\skins\SkySports\graphics\logos and the relevant panels are 'logos' and 'workings'. Search for a logo name, i.e. espn within the panel to identify whatever you wanted to replace and instead put in the preferred logo's name. This would be required in both panels and simply move the desired logo from the 'others' folder to the the logos folder just 'outside' of it. As I say a skysportshd1 logo is one of the defaults though...

I'm sure you know this already but just in case, a couple more points. 1) See the second from last screen-shot and it's the blue button below continue which will provide a drop-down selection of logos. Click on your selection and then click out of the box for it to disappear, leaving your selection in the top right. 2) The in-between highlights' panels (i.e. when you're not viewing the actual game but it's on full) obscure the logo which is normal. Again hedgin my bets, in the remote possibility this could be relevant.

If I'm totally wrong in all of these permutations (which I kind of hope I am particularly the first) please elaborate on what the full, actual issue is.
