This skin is the best i have ever seen for CM/FM - including the official ones.

Really really impressed!

One thing though DMC doesnt show on the squad list.

Yeah, Positions with three letter abrivations are to long for the narrow design of the picked buttons. I'll probably release a new version of the skin sometime.

If you want to fix it yourself, do the following: In e2/panels there's a file called picking.xml. There's a long list of picking buttons in there that has width set as 35. Try setting it to a slightly higher value for the first eleven ones (no need to do it with subs). Setting the width to 37 or 38 shoiuld be just about enough.

Glad you like the skin guys

Sad to see this has gone unanswered.

You've probably sorted it by now but, if not, you have to extract the downloaded file to the CProgram Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2006\data\skins directory.

Having done this, when you load up the game, in the Preferences screen you need to choose 'e2' from the drop down skin menu.

And, yes it will work on your saved game.

Hope this helps if you're still stuck.

Can tell me how do you get to the e2/panels amd picking.xml document.

Thanks

There must be something glaringly obvious I am missing but I have edited both the main fm colours.xml file and the one included in the e2 folder and I am still unable to change the colours used for player attributes.

Skin cache is not on either.

Anyone able to help??

Is there anyway of having background changes with this skin like you can in others?

retired_frostone69

i don't know if someone has already said this but anyways.

when i have a player in DMC or AMC you cannot see them in the top bar thing that shows all of the different positions.

if you want a screenshot of the problem i can provide it.

It's not a very big thread. You could have had a quick look to see if this had already been mentioned. See above for discussion and solution.
