Football Manager 2022 Light Skin

With no Default Light Skin again this year, I have adapted last years version blending a Light Grey background with the Magenta and Purple Accents from FM22, with a layout based on the Default FM22 skin with a few tweaks.

Screenshots

Main changes outside of the colour changes;

- Player Attributes screen increased the size of the player face and logo, removed the scrollbars from the Attributes and added the Report option to the Small Selector panels.

- Best XI Screen changed the tactics icons on the pitch to use the ones from the Welcome screen that include the player faces.

Known Issues

- With the new Transfer Deadline Day screens the yellow accent on that day replaces the other accent colours in the skin so some title text may not be that clear on deadline day, for the moment if you reload the skin with the skin cache turned off on transfer deadline day the game will revert to using the standard accent colours.

Football Manager 2022 Base Skin

As with most recent Football Managers for you to make certain changes in Football Manager 2022 you need to create a new skin. Thankfully over the last few years some more stuff has been moved out of the skins folder so you only really need the Base skin if you are wanting to edit the skin graphics, fonts or colours. If you want to edit the match graphics or the most of the panel xml files you no longer really need the base skins.

So to make things easier for people I've put up a base skin that is identical to the default skin that comes with the game, so you can add new files/graphics to these without messing up the original skin, and anything that isn't located in these new skin folders will be taken from the default locations within the game.

For Football Manager 2022 there is just the one Base Skin based on the Default Skin which is the Dark version this year, it is also possible that I may release a couple of alternative versions with different accent colours after the full release if I get a chance.

A Light Skin will follow but again with no default light skin this year it requires more work, but should be quicker than last year.

Full instructions on when and how to use the Base Skins can be found on the download page, please ensure you read the page in detail before downloading the Base Skins as it will save you problems in the future.

Football Manager 2022 - Release Date Announced

 

As you are most likely aware Football Manager 2022 is due out on 9th November 2021, with the public beta available most likely just before Halloween for those of you who have pre-ordered the game from a participating retailer.

From the announcements so far there are a couple of Skinning related parts.

First as you may be aware there will be no PC version of Football Manager Touch this year, which is sad news for some it is good news for me as it means less work as since Touch mode was spun off into it's own version it has been harder for me to continue to support it Skinning wise as I barely touch that version of the game.

Second Miles announced on Twitter that again their will be no Light Skin included with the game, so again I'll be creating one, but on the plus side most of last years week should be usable so it shouldn't take as long to make one hopefully.

Also from what I have seen from the pre-release materials it doesn't look like the Match Screens have changed that much, so an updated version of my Match Screens Mod is also again in my plans.

Football Manager 2021 Match Screens Mod v2

Another late update, but the Match Screens Mod has now had an updated Version 2 released.

This version splits out the Full-Time Review and Post/Past-Match Review Panels into two separate files like in previous version, whilst I have also added the ability to view the Classic Analysis and Stats screens from within the Tactics Screen during a match.

However these changes mean this version of the Mod now needs to be installed within a skin so won't work with Touch Mode nor some third party skins as such I have also left up (and updated) Version 1 of the mod.

Football Manager 2021 Light Alt Skin

 

This is an Alternative version of my Light Skin for FM21, this version is slightly darker with Blue Accents, with a layout based on the Default FM21 skin with a few tweaks.

Main changes outside of the colour changes;
Player Attributes screen increased the size of the player face and logo, removed the scrollbars from the Attributes and added the Report option to the Small Selector panels.

Embedded Tactics Screens reduced the padding around the sides to maximise the content area for most resolutions.

Match Scoreboard included my forthcoming Scoreboard Mod that changes the scoreboard to use the normal team names (as used on the league tables), team colours and logos. (NOTE: That the Skin doesn't include my other Match Screens Mod as it is due to be updated but you can freely install the current version with no issues).

Best XI Screen changed the tactics icons on the pitch to use the ones from the Welcome screen that include the player faces.

Fixes for IGE, Match Screens among other screens.

Fixed more news items with white text.

Reworked End of Season Review Screens.
