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.
Please note this skin is provided as is. It has nothing to do with Sports Interactive or SEGA and won’t be supported by them.
How to install FM21 Rensie Dark v2 skin
If you’re in the game just quit the game to eliminate crashes or issues with the game.Download the .zip archive and unzip it.
Move the extracted folder “FM21 Rensie Dark Skin v2” to your skins folder: Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2021/skins
Run Football Manager 2021, go to Preferences and select “FM21 Rensie Dark Skin v2” on the Overview screen.
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.
Mini stadiums in the Club Overview – please remember that you have to download the custom mini-stadium pack (the same graphic addon as faces, logos etc.) to make them work and appear in the club overview. They are not included in the skin, that would mean the skin would be very big.
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.
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.

75 comments have been posted so far.
@lukereevey: 1. The height/weight info is under the attributes, check the screen - https://prnt.sc/vubzyr
2. try it with the Sidebar icon only and it will show.
3. you would have to edit the season stats profile file and insert your own stats with the right IDs
@jjbennett: No, I don't want to insert it. You can make it by your own
@Supreme89: The pros/cons part is in the bottom of the player profile popup panel. You can delete it and place the career stats instead of it.
Is there any chance you could add the instant result that in match too as well as the one on the tactics screen please.
Just two concerns; firstly and most importantly, I'm struggling to find where it details a player's height and weight on the profile screen? I've gone through all the tabs and still can't find it anywhere.
Secondly, in the player profile screen, the small attribute analysis tab at the bottom isn't showing the attribute circle for me (as seen in your picture of Adil Aouchiche) even though I have the same scaling as you.
Know how to fix either of these?
[edited] Is there also any way to change the stats shown in the season stats tab in the player profile screen?
I know you can see the 'IGE' icon in all the usual places, what I mean is, the right before match, where you can 'Instant Result/Submit Team' - there it is missing. It has usually always been there in previous installations.
The solution is simple – go to the skin folder/panels/player and delete “player attribute history” file and reload the skin. I left this file here by mistake.
See the screenshot - https://prnt.sc/vtdrhf, or the stream - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/821043818
However, in this edition, the 'IGE' button seems to be missing on the same page you get to just before match, where you also get "Instant Result" options... You know why that is, can you fix that?
If you would take some time to read the original post on my website, you would find the part where I wrote about why I didn't make some changes to the match panels. I will wait for the Match Screen mods made by MichaelTMurray at SI Forum as he is the best skin maker and an expert from all.
thanks for the skin, I've been waiting for yours because I loved the one you made for FM20.
Is there any chance you would consider removing the shirt number from the player overview screen? I don't really see the point of that and don't think it was in your skin last time?
Also, will you be making changes to the match screens / the screen shown between highlights in the future? Because I was definitely hoping for some changes there.
Again, thanks for the work!
Regarding the negative commentary, 1 of our site rules is this:
Banning is an extreme action for having an opinion, but that opinion doesn't seem to be respectful. And I don't want to see this kind of out-of-line negativity around here. If you don't like a downloadable, simply skip/ignore. As a result, Rowdylad's privilege to comment has been revoked for now.
Stam-ban him
Thanks again from a big fan of your work
Hopefully you will get a IP-ban for this insulting comment.
@Rensie >> Amazing skin as usual!
No imagination with the colours No features like other skins
If Anything this is an insult to the other skin makers who work hard to provide beautifull skins
this is lame lazy and horrible skin
It will work but not everything will be visible the same as with the 100% zoom. Some widgets, for example, in the player profile, will be not shown properly as the skin is made for my own as I'm using 1920x1080 resolution with 100% zoom.
