FM15 Guide - How To Increase Transparency of Screens

NOTE: THIS GUIDE APPLIES TO 2015 FULL MODE SKINS NOT FMC SKINS.

This is a simple guide to tell you how to increase the transparency of various screens in Football Manager 2015, to make it easier to see your background images or to see the pitch on the match screens better with various widgets open.

FM2015 Guide - How To Edit the Sidebar

The new sidebar in Football Manager 2015 can be edited in various ways, the following instructions will allow you to edit the width, colour and text properties of the sidebar, though with some further experimenting it may be possible to do more things, however this should at least give people a starting place.

FM2015 Match Screen Kits Mod

Another simple Match Screen Mod for Football Manager 2015, this one changes the logos that appear on various match screens into kits and is available in a couple of different versions:

Version 1 - Replaces all Match Screen Logos with Kits this affects Logos shown on the Split Screen Overview Panel and in the Header. This is also compatible FMC mode.

Version 1 can also be combined with my Match Titlebar Team Names Mod to add Logos and Team Names to the Titlebar whilst getting Kits showing on the Split Screen Overview Panel.

Version 2 - Replaces the Logos with Kits on the Split Screen Overview Panel but leaves the Logos in the Header.

These files should work with any FM2015 skin, though for the second mod if the skin you are using has a different match titlebar from the default you'll need to modify the files yourself. (instructions are at the link below)

Note that this mod doesn't add kits/logos to the various Overview screens that don't display logos by default it just changes the existing logos to kits.

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. 

Base Skins for FM2015 Download Page

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.
