.Same as in the previous years, this is mainly my own skin and I’m happy with how it works right now. There will be no adjustments and edits just because of feature requests. Save your time and energy before you will want to edit something.

The most common issues
Same as in any other area, there are always things what people always do, ask and moan about. One of them is when their widgets within selectors are constantly changing.
- Try to use/have only one skin in the skins folder in the documents. The more skins you will have here, there is a bigger chance they will conflict with each other and some parts will reset or they won’t work properly.
- Untick the option “Automatically override custom panels?” in Preferences/Interface.
- You can edit player overview panel and player overview big selector panel and delete all widgets you don’t want to have here or set some of yours as default by the code.
- Using other skins or just having the Dark and Purple in the same folder is the most common issue.
I’m using THIS ONE. And you can always add your own picture and edit the config file to have 1) different picture or 2) picture of your new stadium.
Remember I’m making this skin with the 1920×1080 resolution.
That means that it won’t work exactly as in the pictures with lower but also with bigger resolution. There will always be something that will be aligned differently due to sizes of widgets and containers.
Be sure to exit the game, move the old skin(s) from the Sports Interactive/Football Manager/skins folder out before you will extract the new one. Clear cache – ideally not only in the game but also in your App data folder. How to do it? Follow this link!
Not everything is a mistake or issue of the custom skins. Sometimes it’s enough to revert to default skin to check if it works or not.
If you would like to remove the sidebar logo, just:
- Open the skin folder/panels/generic and sidebar menu table.xml
- Scroll down and delete the <!– Primary Logo –> widget (lines 136-148)
- Save the file, clear cache and reload skin. Or just restart the game.

michaeltmurrayuk for the option to use his base skins, also with the background support option. IF you want to know how to change the opacity, just visit his website or the SI Forum.Gaz / FMwkdsoul for his idea of the selector in the player overview screen as I saw it in screens from his skins on Twitter and decided to make it by myself.
FMEnhanced as I took the Instant Result option from his v2.0 version.
Wozzie for the help with the player bottom bar and the “i” icon.
PequenoGenio/Marco Morais for his tips and hints during creating skin for himself and help with some graphics.

please help:(
Sorry to hear but I can't help with something that I don't have. I hear the windows sound only when I hit the ALT+S combination while taking the screenshot.
I also get a windows error sound when I click on social feed(news etc.). Does anybody have the solution for it?
I have the the latest version, cleared cache, deleted all previous versions and only have 1 skin under my skins folder.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Match Day Screenshot
the rest is 10/10
One thing i just miss is the difference between the strong and the weak foot. That we can see how strong the weak foot is.
But overall: great skin!
good work man.
The v2 was updated due to a change of ID within several panels and the game showed circles instead of stars.
Download links for both dark & purple version are on my website HERE.
The main changed files were these three:
player positions indicator small.xml
player positions indicator small horizontal.xml
positions.xml
As always - exit the game, delete the previous version, clear cache...
Great work with these skins! I am having just one issue i am not able to have the sidebar like yours with just the icons. Am i missing anything to make this work?
Thanks in advance
