@JoãoCarvalho92 - I'm working away from home for the next couple of days but you'll want to check panels/generic/sidebar menu.xml (it'll be called something like that).  I'm guessing that the red is the “secondary” colour for the club, so if you change all entries that say “secondary” for “white”, this should work.

That said, there are some teams whose colours will clash with the Team Colours version - unfortunately whatever the game has coded is set, so there's not much you can do but replace all instances of “secondary” with a complimentary colour.  I think it's FC Augsburg that was really bad.  They're red and green and it's just horrible.  Alternatively, try the non-team colours version.  There should be a readme file inside with instructions for making your own colour scheme if the ones provided aren't to your taste.

There are 3 occurrences of Player Search and 2 occurrences of Staff Search.  They all need the <!-- and --> to be removed.

From what I recall, those were the only changes made to the meta section data file, so you might be able to just delete the file entirely.

There may be multiple times it needs to be edited.  I think there's at least two times for both Player Search and Staff search.

It's definitely designed for the more sadistic players out there - having to rely on players recommended by scouts and staff from job applications.

Embrace the difficulty!!!!!!!!

Jokes aside, you'll need to edit the sections meta data.xml in the sections folder.  If you search for “Player Search” and “Staff Search” you'll see something like this:

<!--<record id="srpl" section="srpl" help_page="search_players">
  <translation id="text" translation_id="227995" type="use" value="Player Search" />
  <record id="widget_info">
   <symbol id="class" value="person_search_panel" />
   <integer id="type" value="1" />
  </record>
 </record>-->

You need to delete the <!-- and -->.

Afterwards you'll need to refresh the skin in game.  Then exit, and load the game up again.

With the new patch, a couple of screens/widgets have been broken.  A quick fix is now out.

v1.6 - Winter Update response

• Removed customised scout report views
• Edited visualisation on player overview

@DANIIL SATORIN - thanks for quick reply, and no need to apologise for your English - it's a lot better than my Russian!!!!

Unfortunately, I'm not sure this is something I'll be able to do.  I've had a try this evening, but it doesn't work very well.  Looking at other skins released this year, it doesn't seem to be something that many have included - although you can have something similar for ChouChou Collection.  On that skin, however, the background isn't dynamic - you select one image and that appears on every screen.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

@DANIIL SATORIN - not 100% certain what you're asking, so my answers below might not be helpful.

If you mean that you haven't downloaded additional graphics, these are not contained in the skin itself - you will need to download a graphics pack or two (or three…).  Good place to start is here.

If you mean the background is plain and doesn't have images like some other skins (flut, for example) - this is a design choice.  The skin doesn't support background images, unfortunately, and probably won't as I find it can make some text difficult to read.

If you mean you want those images to appear in more places, please let me know where you're thinking of, and I can see if it can be added - either to the skin itself, or just as a little bit of custom work.

Appreciate the kind words and, more importantly, glad to hear that you're jumping back on the FM wagon (although RIP to your free time!)

Hey, if you edit panels/player/player overview panel, line 7:

<layout class="vertical_arrange" vertical_layout="6,300,2,44,2,17,15,2,200,2,-1" offset="0" inset="0" gap="0" draw_horizontal_dividers="false"/>

The “44” in vertical layout, controls the bit with the player name (the FHD version has some slightly different numbers, but it will still have the 44 and that's the only bit that matters) - I'd suggest changing it to 60 and see how that looks; you might want to play around with the number a little.

I'll look into updating the uploads soon, but it might be a few days before I get a chance to release.

Ah yes, I replied earlier ion the thread.  The folder for the file I attached needs to be called competition (I incorrectly told you to name it competitions)

I'm happy to look at including scoreboard changes, but it's not my current priority, so might be a few weeks until it is done.  You can take a look at this thread on the SI Forums which should give instructions for doing it yourself.

Re: player faces in tactics menu, unfortunately this isn't something I plan to do on the release, but I've attached the file you need below.  This goes in the panels/tactics folder.  You may need to make some changes to get it to look how you like.  Row 126 controls the positioning of the player pictures.  The code is as below:

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0,50,45,0" />

To change the positioning, you'll want to play around with the inset numbers.

I've not been able to get the flag on it's own; only with nationality as text next to it.  So I can suggest doing that so, it will appear like below:

For this, you will need to edit panels/player/player personal details panel, line 62.  Currently it should look like this:

<record id="widget_info" class="nation_button" icon_enabled="false" colour="fg" format="[%nation#1-nationality]"/>

You need to change “false” to "true", so it should be:

<record id="widget_info" class="nation_button" icon_enabled="true" colour="fg" format="[%nation#1-nationality]"/>

No worries, dude - I'm glad you're enjoying it!!

1. You could potentially move this to the top, by editing horizontal no fitness, line 27.  Change it to:

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="1"/>

2. How did you change the colours.  Did you do this through the preferences menu, or by editing the Mustermann Graphical QHD Team Colours settings.xml?  (I'm trying to guess the resolution from your screenshot - the actual settings file might be different, but it'll be the only one in the settings folder).  You may need to edit the background colours, too - all profile attributes are lines 342-354.  You want the colour names to be the same for the attribute and the respective background.  It'll end up looking something like this:

<colour name="low attribute"        value="bg"/>
<colour name="normal attribute"       value="fg accent1"/>
<colour name="good attribute"        value="orangergb" />
<colour name="excellent attribute"       value="greenrgb" />
<colour name="unknown attribute background"    value="bg darker"/>
<colour name="low attribute background"     value="bg"/>
<colour name="normal attribute background"     value="fg accent1"/>
<colour name="good attribute background"     value="orangergb" />
<colour name="excellent attribute background"    value="greenrgb" />

In place of “orangergb” and “greenrgb”, you'll need to put in the rgb values for the colours.  For example, value="rgb(255,204,0)" would be a shade of orange.  You can get this from the advanced settings in preferences when setting colours.  Alternatively, you can use terms like “Orange 700” which refers to the MaterialUI colours here.

I hope that made sense!

So I've attatched two files below - these need to go into panels/player/mustermann folder.  They will replace the “Horizontal+” and “Horizontal-” selections.  After that you'll want to make the following edit to player overview panel.xml in panels/player folder.  On line 7, you will see something similar to:

<layout class="vertical_arrange" vertical_layout="6,300,2,44,2,17,15,2,200,2,-1" offset="0" inset="0" gap="0" draw_horizontal_dividers="false"/>

This might be slightly different, depending on the skin version you are using.  Change the 300 to 180 (2nd number in vertical_layout).  For the version above it should now look like this:

<layout class="vertical_arrange" vertical_layout="6,180,2,44,2,17,15,2,200,2,-1" offset="0" inset="0" gap="0" draw_horizontal_dividers="false"/>

So…I'm stupid.  The folder needs to be called competition not competitions

I thought I got it to work, but yeah, I'm having the same trouble again, too.  Might take a little while, but I'll let you know once I've solved this!

Just to make sure I understand - are you talking about the positions underneath the player details?

Firstly, I'd recommend using the FHD version - this is designed for 1920x1080 resolution at 100% zoom, and will work at 1600x900 at 85% zoom.  By default the section under player details will be traits only, and the positions/roles is next to the attributes.  If not, there are little “v” in the top right corner of some sections, which allow you to select appropriate information.  I would recommend selecting “Traits” on the Player card (the bit on the left) and “Roles and Duties” next to attributes.

It should end up looking something like this (1600x900 at 85%):

A sneaky additional panel.  I've attached the fix again.  This time you'll need to put it in panels/competitions - which means you'll also need to create the competitions folder!

You need to download graphics.  There's a background megapack on this site here, which includes stadiums.

Okay.  I should be finishing assignments…but I'm awful when it comes to procrastination.  Put the attached file in the panels/match folder.  Opposition team will now be the same colour as headings (so that salmon pink colour for the scheme in the screenshot)

There should be a drop-down selector at the top right of the player picture.  From here choose horizontal+ (with fitness indicators) or horizontal- (without fitness indicators)

Oh dear, that's a pretty bad miss on my behalf.  I'll take a look and get back to you as soon as I've worked it out - unfortunately it might not be until tomorrow, as I have some assignments I need to work on tonight.

It won't make a difference on the skin in it's current form; it's primarily used in my graphical attribute skin (no numbers) or for skins that have the attributes in boxes.  Even though it's not in use, it's just good practice to keep it in there, in case it is needed at some point.

I'm not 100% certain these are the correct values, but try these (taken from michaeltmurrayuk's base22 skin):

<colour name="low attribute"        value="fg alpha"/>
<colour name="normal attribute"       value="fg"/>
<colour name="good attribute"        value="fg range13" />
<colour name="excellent attribute"       value="fg range20" />
<colour name="unknown attribute background"    value="bg darker"/>
<colour name="low attribute background"     value="bg"/>
<colour name="normal attribute background"     value="fm purple"/>
<colour name="good attribute background"     value="bg purple darker" />
<colour name="excellent attribute background"    value="bg accent" />

Glad you managed to sort it.  For future reference, you only need to extract the folder(s) you need.  For example, if you're running at 1920x1080 resolution, and only want the Team Colours version, you only need to extract the MustermannFHD Team Colours folder.

@Nelson Inácio are you able to provide some more details?  Is it not showing up, does an error occur, etc…?

Also, can you confirm you have done the following:

1. Extract the contents of the downloaded .rar archive by using a free tool such as 7-zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac.

2. Move the Mustermann folder of choice (QHD is for 2560x1440 resolution and FHD is for 1920x1080 resolution) to your skins folder, which is located by default at:
Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2022 > skins

Good spot, I didn't even notice the folder link said 2021!  @Dan Bridges this might be the issue - the skin needs to be in the FM22 folder.  If you're looking for an FM21 version, unfortunately there isn't one.
