Football Manager 2017 Skins - Sky Sports 2 - FM17 Skin
During the construction of this skin I changed computer and in turn resolution. So whilst I regard the high res. version as more polished I have catered some of the later work to complete the low res. version I had initially set out to make (with one or two allowances).

Released: 4 December 2016

Sky Sports 2 Skin Features

  • Hidden Sidebar option - copy across the panels folder from Hidden Sidebar folder in _skin_options_ folder (make a back-up of client object browser and sidebar menu panels if you wish to revert back to the standard sidebar options in future)
  • High Sidebar option (titlebar shifts to the right) - within client_object folder in panels just rename this clearly labeled option client object browser
  • TV logo selector in-match
  • Background selector (stable)
  • Instant result button

    how can I put suporters into the stadiums or flags or something about the time on the stands? do you know?
  • ryan82's avatar
    Does this skin feature Wannabrewchup's instant result fearture?
  • D_LO_'s avatar
    I'll bear that in mind for future versions.

    Nice skin. But can you add a optional mod without boxes for player attributes?
  • D_LO_'s avatar
    It shouldn't but you can try, make sure there's no problems with the download and that the default config file is within your skins folder (should be there as long as you haven't deleted it) If the problem persists I'll be on the SI skinning hideout forum, my skin has a thread, search sky 2 and I can discuss it in more detail with the ability to post screen-shots and/or potential downloads.

    Yeah I've done all of that. Its in the folder. I was just thinking, maybe I need to delete the other TCS skin I downloaded. Could that have an effect?
  • D_LO_'s avatar
    Make sure you extract the file (winrar is a popular program for this) here: C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2017\skins. Clear cache and reload skin to ensure changes take effect.

    Hi, I downloaded this and put it into the skins folder but it does not show up in the drop down in preferences. Anything I have done wrong?
  • D_LO_'s avatar
    Sorry I missed your chat message. The intro image is found in the textures folder, named: add_manager_background. Delete or replace. Thanks
  • fascinoso73's avatar
    Hello, congratulations for the Skins as you change the image in the main menu?
  • D_LO_'s avatar
    Small res. version tidied up, new link within post.
  • D_LO_'s avatar
    I've taken pieces of coding/ideas from several places (it's very hard to be original given the level of initiative within the skinning community) So whilst many panels are unique to this skin, it's a bit of a Frankenstein effort which I've put together. I'm struggling to think of any amended graphics which aren't my work but I'm reluctant to say it's 100% my work in case I'm forgetting something.

    Many parties have cooperated. I really appreciated you guy's work.
