Welcome to my Football Manager Blog, the main purpose of this blog is to provide updates on the status of my Football Manager Skins & Guides Website

If you have any questions or queries then I can generally be found in the Skinning Forum at the Official Sports Interactive Forums, though I'd ask you to open a new thread rather than sending me a message.

To help with navigation I have included indexes of my content for the last few versions of Football Manager in the tabs below.

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.

Football Manager 2021 Light Skin

 

With no Default Light Skin this year, I have after a fair bit of work created one that is based on the Light Skin Colour Scheme from FM20 blending a Light Grey background with Cyan and Purple 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.

Football Manager 2021 Dark Base Skins Updated

Both the FM21 Base Dark Skin and FM21 Base Dark (FM20) Skins have been updated.

Default FM21 Base Skin hasn't been updated, and a Light Version is still in progress.

Fixes include:

Colour Tweaks

- Fixed issue with bright yellow background colour, changed to Purple from Main Dark Skin (bg tertiary colour).

- Tweaked the media tag colours on the inbox screens, made lighter so more readable.

Player Attribute Panel Tweaks

- Removed unneeded scrollbar.

- Stopped bottom option being cut from Analyzer

- Increased player pic size.

- Added Report option to Small Selector Panel.

General

- I also had to change the folder names due to an issue with the Steam Workshop, though this shouldn't cause any issues apart from them not matching the screenshots

Football Manager 2021 Base Skins

 

Please note that these skins will only work with the Full Mode of Football Manager 2021, Football Manager 2021 Touch Mode Base Skins will be released after that version has been released.

As with most recent Football Managers for you to make certain changes in Football Manager 2021 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 some base skins that are identical to the default skins that come with the game, so you can add new files/graphics to these without messing up the original skins, and anything that isn't located in these new skin folders will be taken from the default locations within the game.

For Football Manager 2021 at the moment you have three skins to choose from the Default (Purple) Skin, and two Dark Skins one based on the FM21 colouring (Purple accents) and one based on the FM20 colouring (Cyan and Yellow accents). Light Base Skins will follow but with no default light skin this year they require a bit more work.

I'll also upload the Dark (and when they are ready Light) Versions to the Steam Workshop later for those that want a Dark/Light skin but don't need to edit them.

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.
