A really really useful asset when developing skins. It creates a small moveable panel with a single button on it. Click the button twice and it will automatically reload your skin without having to navigate yourself to preferences then click confirm. A time saver to see your changes but also a life saver if you're working on a skin and mess things up, leaving you with no side menu.
How to use:
1. Find the global panels.xml file of the skin you wish to use the tool with and open it with a text editor (Notepad or Notepad++).
2. Scroll to the very bottom of the file and find </panel> right at the end of the file.
3. Copy the code below and paste it JUST ABOVE </panel>.
4. Make sure in FM preferences you have 'Always reload skin on confirm' ticked and 'Use skin cache' un-ticked.

Hope people find both of these things useful and they help create some great skins.

It is possible to build up positive or negative relationships with journalists through your interaction in press conferences. A good relationship with a journalist may result in favourable reports, but a poor one may bring criticism.
