Like the last couple of versions the match screen we have in Football Manager 2015 is a hybrid TV-Classic view mode where again if there are no hightlights you are left on the pitch view instead of switching back to the last panel you were on, were we are left with a small pop-up giving us some information like the old TV-View widgets.

Thankfully this pop-up is editable, which is what these skins does they resize the pop-up and modifies the content of the panels to show the full panel details where possible.

As with Football Manager 2014 I have modified the panel to use the adaptive panels used elsewhere in the game this means the panel will resize itself depending on what resolution you are using (meaning no editing of the xml file just to get it working) and will also display extra panels if you have the space.

Again to make things easier I have made the mod into a skin which means there are a couple of different versions available depending what skin you are using and what you want:

This is the Wide Version for the Full Mode Version of FM2015 and is based on the Official Dark Skin.

Wide - Maximizes the size of the in-between match highlights panel, but this time uses up the full width of the screen, this allows for more information to be shown at smaller screen resolutions, but the match feed items when displayed will cover parts of the top right side of the panel.

Outside of the match screen the skins are identical in appearance to the default FM15 skins.

Installation Instructions:

When you extract the file you have have downloaded you should have one folder (name depends on which verson you have downloaded but should start ibh) and a readme.txt file.

Now copy the folder into your skins folder within your Saving Location, by default this is:

For the full game (or beta):
\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2015\skins\

When you load the game up if the skin cache is off the skin should appear in the skins menu (name will depend on version you downloaded but will include the name Match Highlights.

NOTE That FMC skins will only appear when you are playing the FMC mode and normal skins will only appear when playing the normal mode.

If the skin cache is on you'll need to turn it off, exit the Preferences menu and re-enter it and any new skins should appear, if not tick 'Always Reload Skin on Confirm' and change skins, click confirm and go back in and your skin should appear.
