FM 2011 Skins - Galaxy skin for FM 2011
A note from the author:
Here's version 2.9 (final) of my new FM2011 skin 'Galaxy'. This is a more polished version based on my 2010 Dominion skin. Its quite dark so may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it suits me.
Should work for both full version and demo.
* It includes 3 menubar layout options.

Updated: 13 Nov 2010 - v2.9
Released: 25 Oct 2010

If you are upgrading from a previous version of this skin, to avoid problems please delete your existing galaxy folders as overwriting may not fix issues encountered with earlier versions.

Installation Instructions:

Download the skin and follow the steps below to get it into your game:

Extract the file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

    I really love this skin, it's my favorite but I cannot use it. With v. 1.0 the match widgets when minimized jump down on the screen (I like using them on the top), and the latest version removed the colored graph players have. Is there a fix for either version? Thanks.

  • Furrr's avatar
    Whell this really really weird...
    I deleted the 2.9 version, download the 2.8, some prob. deleted the 2.8 downloaded the 2.7, same prob.
    Download 2.6 (the one that i had before 2.9) no orange color. :O what the hell!
    I also have the dominion skin, attributes are good en all the other colors, but everything is vveryy tinyy, so i really prefer the galaxy skin.

    Is it easy to change te attribute colors?
    Or is there another solution?

    Strange thing is, in the screens posted above the attribute colors are goodd!?!
    That's the way i prefer it!
