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.

FM2015 Match Titlebar Team Names Mod


This is another simple match screen mod for Football Manager 2015 that this time re-enables the Team Names on the Match Titlebar.

There are two versions of the mod:

A Team Names and Logos version


A Team Names and Logos, plus Competition Logo version



They are designed to work on skins based on the Default FM15 skin, for skins that have a different match titlebar from the default you'll need to modify the files yourself.


Please note that if you are playing on a smaller resolution certain options on the action bar might be cut off at certain points, however these items just appear in the drop down menu like the first screenshot (which was taken at 1024x768) meaning they are still available to select.


Also Note if the Skin you are using already has a 'match title bar.xml' file you'll need to follow the advanced instructions further down to create the mod on your own as overwriting your skins custom match titlebar may cause problems.

Football Manager 2015 Base Skins Released


As with recent Football Managers to make certain changes in Football Manager 2015 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 have again made some Base Skins for FM2015 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. 


Currently there are two versions of the Base Skin - a Default Dark one for normal FM2015 and the other for the Classic Mode (FMC), a light skin will follow once the Default Light Skin has been released.

If you have any further questions on the Base Skins please ask any questions in the Skinning Hideout on the Official SIGames Forums.

FM2014 Match in Between Highlights Adaptive Skins Updated Again


Well that was a bit of bad timing as patch 14.2 was released today and it has caused some problems with the panel IDs, updated files (version 2.0) have now been uploaded to my website and the Steam Workshop fixing this problem (however I am unable to update the Dark Wide Skin on the Steam Workshop at the moment so you'll need to grab that one off my website):
