Hi im trying to install the Galaxy skin but i cant get it to work,is there a link to a guide/help anyone has got?thanks
Have you read the installation instructions mate?
I got the galaxy skin to work pretty easy
Just extracted/saved the file to My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manger 2011/Skins

Create the skins folder if you dont have it
I got teh fm dark skin to work easy enough,ive done as suggested above but still cant find it in the drop down menu?(display&sound)
I'll copy/paste the instructions since it seems you're lazy reading them yourself. After copying the skin inside the skins folder, open FM and do the following:
  • Untick ‘Use Skin Cache’
  • Tick ‘Always Reload Skin On Confirm’
  • Hit Confirm
You should now see the skin in the drop down menu.
Select the skin from the drop down menu, select confirm again and your new skin should now display.
Once the skin is loaded you can turn the skin cache back on and untick the Always Reload button.
Im not lazy for not reading the instructions,ive read them loads of times,must have done somethin wrong as cant see new galaxy skin. All i can see is normal skin and fm dark skin,where would fm dark skin save too?
The dark skin was automatically introduced with the first patch SI released (11.1), it's an official skin.

Can you provide 2 screenshots?
1 - where you copied the galaxy skin
2 - the display&sound screen in FM
I thought i downloaded the dark one,that explains that then! I'll proide u with the screenshots later,at work now. I think i must have saved it to the wrong place or something,thanks 4 help
Think the problem is with the extracting,can someone show me how to create a new skins folder,need an idiots guide!
Right-click (anywhere in the empty space of the window inside the FM2011 folder) > New > Folder > give it a name ?
Is that in the preferences file in fm game or programme files in fm 2011?
Ive made another file in programme files but when i try to extract it it has an error message
It's not that hard, really!! And you're telling me you've read the instructions... Go back to the download page of the skin and read the instructions properly. rywilson told you where to extract it above.
