Alright, I've had a good few XML classes at university and I've basically been doing graphics / design for a few years, and I would love to make my own FM skin now and make it available for everybody.

But the problem is... where to start? I know how the structure of XML works and how to change, rewrite and add some parts, but I don't know how the complete layout on FM is structured, which XML templates do what, lots of inclusions in different files etc. In other words: I find it a little confusing and I don't know where skin structure info on FM 2006 is coming from.

Could someone explain the basics of how to get going, which templates stand for which screens, etc. Kindly appreciated.

Have a look here:

The best way is to use the search function and find any previous posts on skinning, there's a couple of explaining a few things.

Other than that its guess work

Yeah I have used the search for a few topics but most of them were just on how to recolour graphics and some very basic things which I'm not looking for. The link you gave me was pretty useful though, enough to get me going I reckon. Thanks :thup:
