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. The skin has a small sidebar version and a DF11 facepack compatible version. If you're using a smaller resolution I'd recommend using the small sidebar version.

IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE POSTING!
If you have an issue please read the comments to see if it has already been fixed. Also make sure you have updated to the newest version.
If something doesn't display correctly please post:
  • Your screen resolution
  • If you're running full screen or windowed
  • A screenshot of the issue

I will NOT fix issues related to using different zoom levels. If you use any zoom level other than 100% you will have problems.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME A PM if it is about an issue you are having with the skin as it is much better if all issues are posted publicly so that other people with the same issue can see my reply.


Installation Instructions

Step 1

Download the skin. Make sure you delete any old Scorpio folders.

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: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2015\skins
Win XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2015\skins
Mac OS X: /Users/<username>/Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2015/skins

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

DO NOT COPY THE CONTENTS OF THE SMALL SIDEBAR AND DF11 FOLDERS INTO THE SCORPIO FOLDER

Step 3

Start the game and go to Preferences screen and Interface tab.
You should see "Scorpio”, "Scorpio (DF11)" and "Scorpio (Small Sidebar)” as options in the skin drop down of the Overview box.
Choose the version you want.

Hit the Confirm button.

... and did you ever think of toning the red numbers down, maybe like the yellow one's (see screenshot)? Or changing the color from yellow to green instead of red?

Anyway: It's a fantastic skin, thank you!

I'm going to try and make the colour change based on their rating like Antonis Antilope suggested earlier.

thanks you very much!
you know there is a reason behind that suggetion, when a player performs from 6.4 and downwards you can discipline him for a week and if he accepts it and apologize then his determination or workrate goes up a point

an other suggestion for the team overview: Include facilities in the main page or in a drop down panel selection (like starting 11) becauce i found my self frequently visiting that tab in order to select the best club to loan out my young stars or too chose the best affiliate club, that way you save some time and clicks

p.s there are not many ways to improve what is allready improved

Cant get it to work.
Placed it in the skins folder. Tried to clear cache. Tried "reinstall it". Tried closing and open FM. Nothing just the skin "football manager classis" skin.
I'm getting frustrated and just want to be able to start using this awesome skin!

Im on a Mac but looked through the thread and doesnt seem to be a problem for others, what the friggin f am I doing wrong?

Asnom,

Don't get frustrated. It's happened to me on Windows too.
3 things:

1) This skin will not work on "Classic" mode, but I'm sure you know that already.
2) I have no experience with Mac.
3) The solution I have for you works with Windows, but I believe you'll find its equivalent in Mac systems.

IF...you were running on a Windows 7 machine and you had this problem you would:

- Open My computer, then C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME]
- Now click on "Organize" and select "Folder and search options"
- Click the "View" tab
- Look in the "Advanced settings" section and find "Hidden files and folders"
- Select "Show hidden files, folders, and drives"
- Click OK and close the window.

- There is a new folder named "AppData" visible in the folder
- Open it, then select "Local"
- Once you open the "Local" folder, find the folder named "Sports Interactive" and DELETE IT!
- Close the folder and reset the folders back to hidden views.

For some reason, this folder locks out the skin. That's why you can't see it.
Don't worry, it doesn't remove your saved games or anything. What it does do, however, is make you agree to the "user agreement" again. If you added your picture for your coaching profile, you'll have to load it again.

Hopefully, you will be able to correlate this to the Mac system. Hopes this helps.

No. If you have a legitimate copy of the game then there is no reason not to update. I don't support piracy and neither does this site. If you want help then buy the game.

Just went from 1.8 to 1.9, will maybe add more feedback later, but one thing that immediately striked me was that on the player profile, I would like to get PPM back, now we get less info than before. (yes I saw I could use a panel for it, but at the cost of something else). I thought it had a nice place there, and have no need to see the shirt with name that took its place...

Another thing that could be nice to show on the profile page is if the player has another nationality, one of the few things where I need to go into the scroll-lists now. (Although just saw the tabs very nice, maybe no need for that then, as it's quicker to show now)

edit: a little bug in the small sidebar version... the text u20/u18 disappear on the sidebar when viewing a player profile.

The ppm panel had to go because for some reason it would cause the tabbed panel to mess up. I'm going to do a lot of work on improving the tabbed panel in the next update and the ppm information will probably be in the attributes panel somewhere

Alright, nice!

As said by others, the red rating numbers don't look 100% right... Maybe that color would be good for ratings under 6.5 for reasons written above, but I think a more neutral color would be better for all other ratings...

Hey man. I just came across this skin and it looks really good! I downloaded it but I play on windowed always and my laptop goes to a maximum res of 1366 x 768. Unfortunately for me there are a few things that don't seem to fit like the badge in the bottom left corner overlaps some of the text and when I click on a player, the shirt in the bottom left overlaps the international stats. Do you know of anyway I can fix this? I'm using just the normal Scorpio file. If there's no way around it then don't worry but great job on the skin!

I'm planning on making a version for lower resolutions in the next update because trying to keep it compatible with all resolutions is limiting what I can do for people with 1920x1080. For now though, I'd suggest you use the small sidebar version.

Hi Wanna, could you please tell me how I can change the ticket in the match preview screen?
I like those of the Andromeda or Vitrex Skin, but I still want to use your skin anyway.
Maybe I just have to change the match preview panel?

Do you mean just the image? I'm pretty both of those skins use my match preview panel so changing that won't do anything. Just go to "Scorpio/graphics/boxes/custom/match/ticket" and replace "paper.png" with whatever you want. Last time I checked both those skins use one of DazS8's match tickets which will be in the next version of the skin.

with the small bar version you can see your club's stadium.
how can you get the real stadium pic in the game instead of the coloured seats?
for example; for manutd you get at 'club' old trafford with above coloured seats, i want te pic of the stadium
thanx!

On the news screen, some panels on the right have become scrollable (looong way down). I noticed this now when I advanced to the finals in european championship... "Italy will face Belgium in the final"...
