Custom Split View Mod

This is something I've been working on on and off since about FM2006, it's a simple mod that changes the split view mode in matches, and should be compatiable with most if not all user made skins for FM2010 there are currently three versions of it::

Enlarged Left Side Split View Mod

This version of the mod extends the left panel in the split view so it takes up two thirds of the screen leaving one third for the right panel, in addition the contents of the left panel have been changed so they use the normal fullsized content rather than the small panels content.

Enlarged Right Side Split View Mod

This version of the mod extends the right panel in the split view so it takes up two thirds of the screen leaving one third for the left panel, in addition the contents of the right panel have been changed so they use the normal fullsized content rather than the small panels content.

Triple Split View Mod

This version of the mod adds a third panel so you now have three panels each taking up a third of the screen instead of two taking up half, each panel still displays the small panel content, however I've had to remove some screens from the middle panel - pitch view and ass. manager feedback as they don't work correctly, in addition the panel headers for the middle panel lose the team names but all the actual stats display fine.

I've also released instructions on how to modify the code yourself those instructions can be found here: Split View Mod Coding if you have any questions then ask in the [Mod] Custom Split Views Mod for FM2010

Base Skins for Football Manager 2010

As with FM2009 to make certain changes in FM2010 you are required to add files to the skin folders, whilst this isn't a problem for fan-made skins it is a slight problem if you are using the Default Skins included with the game. So to help people out I again made some Base Skins for FM2010 that allow you to add and modify the default skins without breaking your game.

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.

Further note that you can only use the FM2009 Style Base Skins if you have bought or installed FM2010 through Steam, if you try and use the FM09 Style Base Skins without having Steam the game will crash so you have been warned.
