How to add HelveticaLite Skin in FM16

  1. Download and extract the .zip file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

  2. Place the "helveticalite2016" folder here:
    Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2016\skins
    Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.

    You should see HelveticaLite 2016 as option in the skin drop down of the Overview box.

    Hope to see this bugs fixed in 1.5 :)

    This skin would be perfect if there were jerseys on the tactic screen and not the fitness circles. Totally ruins it for me.

    Is it compatible with DF11?

    Love the 1.3 update. Making the game so much better. Only one issue that's been around since 1.2 came out - on the top search bar, the writing underneath that's normally there (e.g 6th in the Championship, Reading (A) 3 days) isn't there. It also means that the ID number doesn't show when that's ticked in the preferences

    I think its amazing but how can I change the white background colour? D:

    @Valeron : Same problem for the first point. But it comes back, anyway, after a while (I have not seen when exactly, half time perhaps).

    Another bug with full view during a match. The visible bar in normal view (see the white bar score, Valeron) is supposed to disappear for full screen, but they do nothing and have a gray bar appears : http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/737862LoughgallSheffWedTerrainPleincran.png

    Last thing about the "Deactivated the coloring of the Sidebar, the Header and The Titlebars."
    On view of a player, the menu text is in black (sometimes white), but black is unreadable on dark gray background : http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/216992DannyMcKee.png

    Thank you and Good luck !

    Hi, thanks for the great skin! I have two bug reports:
    1. During the match, in between highlights, the team stats window will sometimes become bugged, only showing the goalkeeper (example: https://fmshots.com/bk/c0wedAu.png). Workaround: use the left panel to show the team stats and the right panel to use body language. However, this will eventually bug out too, requiring another switch.
    2. During the match, I can't navigate down from the Overview/Pitch/Tactics/Stats/Analysis to the underlying menus using the mouse. Workaround: use the keyboard cursors.

    Thank you for this amazing skin. I have only a small problem. I would like to change the background, but it doesn't work. Can you help me please?

    Amazing skin as always! :D Does it support the greek language? As I can rememeber, there were some issues in FM15 if you were using the greek language.

    The initial download mirror seemed to have speed and bandwidth issues, so I've uploaded the file to our own download servers.
    It should be fine now :)
