Ditto what another poster said about the small report card icons. I find the 30px ones to be the best.

Nice changes.

Very sharp club overview panel. Text is all sorted as well, good job mate.

Very useful, thanks.

Just got through a match, nothing of note. Runs super smooth. Keep it up mate.

Sounds good. Haven't had much time on it, but v1.3 seems very stable as a base skin, tbh. Similar to the default but miles better. I'll let you know if anything comes up.

Going to run through a week or so on my save with v1.3 loaded. I'll edit this post with any thoughts I find along with way.

- Think the player overview panel would look best with the club logo to the left and kit down below the country flag/logo. Not horrible the way it is (acutally quite good!), but that's my preference.

- Going to test out some backgrounds on the current skin, although in general I think a darker tint would be a cleaner look.

- Not much else to add at the moment. It's very nice, especially considering how little time the game's been out.

Found some more of this black text in the pregame tactic screen and pregame instruction.

Edit: The player name text and number shown in 2D classic are waaaay too big.

Last edit: Added time in the match header is cut off in my view. I'm on 1920x1080 and 125% zoom, not sure if that's why.

Wow, very nice. Some feedback:

- Love the plain background and general feel. Very clean and sharp.

- Player overview is also very good. I'd like to see the kit + name on the bottom left as there's a bit of empty space there.

- Back/forward buttons on the top right are a bit odd.

- Text showing the transfer budget is black, almost impossible to read. Should just be white like the wage budget.

- Text in the tactic screen showing players is too large and bold.

Not trying to nitpick, just what I've noticed so far. Love it overall, definitely going to be using it.

Thanks for the Mediafire link, I'll check it out now.

Not working mate. All the other skins on this site start downloading straight away. Tried numerous browsers.

Wait, I don't see any mirror downloads? I'm not a Premium Member if that matters.

Looks great, downloading now. I'll post my thoughts a bit later.

Oh and I'd reccomend using the panel for headline news in this link. Way cleaner. http://sortitoutsi.net/downloads/view/13150/susie-mods-skin

I much prefer the tinted background fwiw.

Cool to see this blow up overnight. Really like the looks of it! Works on 125% zoom now, cheers for that. Looking forward to the improvements on the way.

What logopack are you using in those screens btw?

Player overview panel is broken on 125% zoom. I'm on 1920x1080. Shame, because it looks class.

Looks great, I'll give it a go.

No worries! Thanks for the reply.

You going to release the club overview panel as well?

PS - thanks NiceLad, works great.

How do I get these in the game? I know they're xml's for the panel folder, but I don't see the default skin in my FM15 folder to edit.

Much better.

Whoops, sorry. I applied it to an existing save (still changed all of the competition name so I assumed the clubs were too).

Working great, thanks so much. Noticed that the Schalke club name is incorrect though.

Turns out I had to select "Keep Newer" instead of "Replace" when prompted (I'm on Mac) and everything works great. Thanks again for your fabulous file and help.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Right, the file path is the same. Because of this, copy and pasting is resulting in replacing the club folder, for example, with the updates pack's club folder instead of the contents of the folder itself. I keep bring up the facepack updates because with those you copy the images themselves and place them in the complete pack folder.

I suppose I could do that with each subfolder, just confused to why this is happening (the folders being replaced, not the contents of the folders).

Okay, want to make this super clear. I re-downloaded the 2014.1 Complete Pack and placed it in my graphics/logos folder with no problems at all.

However...

When I try to update (to 2014.2 in this case), I run into some problems. I used the official mirrors listed on this page so my file path should be the same as everyone else. First, I copied the "graphics" folder from within the 2014.2 update and placed it in the 2014.1 Complete Pack folder (the one located in Sports Interactive/FM/etc.). I selected the option to replace all, assuming these were the updated logos, and instead, it replaces all the subfolders, meaning the Complete Pack was wiped and I only had the images in the 2014.2 update. (I backed up the files, this is not a big deal)

I then cleared those files, moved the 2014.1 Complete Pack (backed up file) into the graphics/logos folder and this time tried placing the 2014.2 update file in the 2014.1 Complete Pack folder. This copied all of the 2014.2 content in a subfolder with "graphics" in the 2014.1 Complete Pack folder. As a result, I had some images twice (logos that were updated) with no option to replace/overrite.

Because I've done facepack and stadium pack updates where you simply copy the contents of the update folder (images!) and overrite replacements, this is something different. Not sure how I'm the only one struggling, to be honest!

tl;dr: subfolders are complicating this. thanks again.

Clarification - can I simply copy the "graphics" and "editor data" folders from within the downloaded update pack and place them in my Football Manager 14/graphics/logos/Football Manager 14 folder? The "Football Manager 14" folder I just listed contains my 2014.1 Complete Pack.
