CHANGELOG:

31/3/14 - Updated to v1.2

1. I've sorted the fonts out so all fonts use Lato now.
2. I've put the next match day details back on the processing screen (and added something)
3. I've fixed some alignment issues
4. Fixed lack of continue button on FMC (still doesnt show on matchday, spacebar still required)
5. Fixed nation selection screen at game start
6. I've edited the background opacity overlay to be 40 not 60 so screens aren't so dark by default
7. Added FMC style panels to Vexillium FMC

20/3/2014 - Updated to v1.01

1. Fixed a bug that caused the FMC version to use the default text colours
2. Fixed an issue causing black writing on the match screen

20/3/2014 - Updated to final v1.0

1. Replaced all remaining images
2. Removed bgselector in favour of user backgrounds.
3. Changed actionbar background to black in a match to make things easier to read.
4. Created overlay on background to ensure writing is legible
5. Changed text colours on menus and match panels
6. Created in-game overlay so the match screen is dimmer, this prevents eye-strain aswell as making the match look more natural and realistic.
7. Improved the header to make it even more ribbon-like :p
8. Improved to processing panel so its easier to read.
9. Fixed any language bugs that were left over (I've had my game playing in Portuguese for the last 2 days :p)

15/3/2014 - Updated to final BETA v0.9b

1. Fixed lack of header image on the match screen
2. Replaced most buttons and other GFX (about 80% done now)
3. Fixed transparency and images in the processing screen
4. Removed transparency from sender bar in news feed to be more flat
5. Changed the dialog and wizard boxes

14/3/2014 - Updated to 0.8b

1. Graphics replacements done for all boxes, processing screen, header and menubar, still got buttons and other things to replace.
2. Fixed unreadable text issue on actionbar.
3. Text colours changed.
4. Show filters button working again.

11/3/2014 - First Release - Version 0.7b

Latest screenshots for updated version (v1.01) which removes the background selector and allows backgrounds to be used from your user graphics folder (for players, competitions, clubs and stadiums)

You may indeed Kiwi.

Awesome FMC Skin BUT in an match the start and stop buttons are missing, so i always have to switch the skin to start an match and to start after half time and so on.

Also it seems that training information is not editable in fmc.

Cheers for the heads up kenshin. I know about the continue button (you dont need to swap the skin, just use the spacebar to continue instead for now) but didnt know about the training, will look into it for the next update.

Great skin desing but how i can change the main font? Not the header, the normal one. I don't like Helvetica Neue and i want to change it to Lato.

And also all backgrounds are extremely dark, can i change the opacity and the brightness somehow?

@kenshin: No worries mate, hopefully it's fixed now and will be sorted for next update this week sometime.

@Jordi_7: I've noticed main text font doesn't change to Lato like the rest, I will fix that aswell if you like, the fonts are controlled by the vexillium/fonts folders files. As for the background, if you want it brighter do this.

Open your vexillium/graphics/boxes/overlay folder and choose an opacity percentage (20, 40, 60 or 80) copy the images from the corresponding folder and paste them to your vexillium/graphics/bgoverlay folder overwriting any images it asks you to.

@nyg87: You need to download a stadium images pack, you can get one HERE

Hello,

How can I have a lighter background like in this pic : https://imageshack.com/i/eui5dgp
Mine is so dark, like you can see in that one : http://cl.ly/image/1b3i3k3h2i1r/Capture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202014-03-31%20a%CC%80%2000.28.42.png

It would be sooooo awesome!

Hey Fred2woh, that's easily done.

Open your Vexillium/Panels folder and open client object browser.xml in Notepad. Find this bit of code:

<!-- overlay to dim the background - covers entire screen -->
<widget class="picture" file="bgoverlaywhite/paper" />

Delete it all and then save the file.

Go into FM and delete your skin cache and reload the skin. No more darkness.

You're welcome matey, and thanks a lot!!

The only reason I put the overlay on the background was because text became hard to read if you used user backgrounds (stadium/player/club)

yes, you have to include the icon coding for it in the menubar.xml as well as a bit in global panels.xml, you can get the coding needed from my other skin Nuu Rebooted

Hi just downloaded the skin which is awesome however during a match the match engine seems darker and the white bar above the match engine screen makes the buttons hard to see especially the shouts button! Hope you can fix this.

This is for FMC i'm talking about by the way.

Yes, I've yet to update FMC to the latest version, I've fixed both things in the update coming.

Really liking this skin, but is there any chance on making the red/white titlebar smaller?

If you could let me know what panel(s) I need to edit that would be great please.

The red bar is controlled by the header.xml, the bit that says titlebar and match titlebar, change the heights to something smaller.
The white bar is controlled in the client object browser.xml and is in the bit about action bar, change the height again to something more appropriate

This look better? (Current Version)

way too small now, imho.

Right menu and players name/role over compressed, smaller logos. result: less stylish than before.
Maybe a middle way could be the best.

Anyway great work on that, really. I tried to wrote my suggestions about your skin on the skinning hideout forum in the Si community, but im still waiting a mod to approve it. If they'll not publish my comment there, maybe i'll copy it here.

Keep it up bro, definitely best dark skin around
