FM 2010, have a look!

For the first time in years i'm actually really happy with the default skin. A quick edit of the attribute colours (and copying my kits and logos from FM 2009) and vola:

Well done SI!

Well, the skin really looks impressive! Well done SI!!

Am I being dumb when asking.. How do you change those colours?

No you're not. Have a look in the skinning forum, there a topic at the top. Only took me a minute to do this.

Very nice. But Ken Bates - icon ???????

There'll be a dark version of the skin packaged with the full game anyway

Any chance you could give me the numerical values for the colours you have used please?

Yep:

<!-- profile attribute colours -->

<colour name="low attribute" blue="150" red="150" green="150"/>

<colour name="normal attribute" green="255" red="255" blue="255" />

<colour name="good attribute" blue="0" green="255" red="255" />

<colour name="excellent attribute" red="255" yellow="255" blue="0" />

<!-- (additional) stats colours -->

<colour name="low stat" red="180" green="180" blue="0"/>

<colour name="medium stat" red="220" green="220" blue="0" />

<colour name="good stat" red="255" green="204" blue="0" />

<colour name="excellent stat" red="255" green="160" blue="0" />

The game seems to be using the small logo for the prem badge though...going to look into that now.

That looks good, I want to change the attribute colours as well - that's my only gripe about the game so far.

How do I use that? :confused:

I'm such a noob

I'm such a noob

Go to the skinners hideout and have a look at the top sticky and just follow instructions there. Its pretty straight forward really and i'm a noob to this too

Thanks for the colours dave byrd

This thread MUST be stickied.

Yeah im on the dark skin aswell its amazing! I was thinking about changing the colours as its the only thing thats wrong with it...

I knew how to change the colours on 09... is it the same for 10?

Just like to add that you can add more shortcuts (eg player search, training) at the top by right clicking on that bar(with help shortcut, inbox, search box) and ticking the various shortcuts you want just like in microsoft office(2003)

I think i might just go over to the dark side

Great skin , there is a steam skin too you know.

I notice your shortcut bar is pretty bare. You know you can right click on it and add your own shortcut buttons?

No i didn't know that! Also are you making a Flex10 skin? Please say it's so!!!

Is the dark skin available on the vanilla version of the demo, or is it only the strawberry one that has it? Am gonna download the game when i get home tonight, but want to use the black skin cos it looks somewhat easier on the eye

No you're not. Have a look in the skinning forum, there a topic at the top. Only took me a minute to do this.

Ahh I tried to do that yesterday for the white skin but couldn't find the particular folder..atleast I know now that it can be done. Thanks mate I'll give it a go when I get home from work..it looks top notch like that

Only on the strawberry mate. I downloaded the vanilla demo last night and felt like having epileptic fits. The dark one is much easier to look at..although you'll probably need to change the attribute colour.

I would propose that inside the first patch there was an option to change the background color under " preferences " ...

For anyone having difficulties changing the attribute colours download this and extract it to your user data folder:

Then start up your game and select the dark skin editable.

Is anyone able to host the skin you get with the Steam download?

you can only get that wen the game goes live

Oh right. Default dark is pretty good anyway.

what exact folder do you put it in the fm10 skins folder?

Thanks for this and the download to change the attributes.

No worries. I hate the default attribute colours so just happy to point out to the community that there is another way!!

what exact folder do you put it in the fm10 skins folder?

Delete the skins folder in the user data folder and replace it with the one in my download.

Just going to download it, the settings folder where you actually alter the numbers will be in your download?

thank you i'm guessing this will work for the full game

I have FM dark editable in my preferences, but cant find the same named file in the skin folder. I've got darkblank, darkv2 etc so not sure which one I edit.

You don't need to edit it. Just select the FM dark editable skin in game in the preferences menu and you'll have the attribute colours as per my screen shots.

It will indeed.

Oh yeah I managed to get that, it's much better than the defaults. Am I able to edit the colours further?

Yes it will be.

You are indeed.

Ok and my last question (sorry about this lol I know you want to throttle me)

When I select the dark editable in preferences, what file in the skin folder is that from, so that I know which one to edit.

I repeat myself, this thread must be stickied or alternatively SI must insert an option to change the color into FM10.

fm2010 darkblank.xml

As an aside, can you provide the links for the Kits and Logo's you have for this? Much nicer than the ones im currently using.

What do the colors of the attributes mean actually? Red = Player has reached his maximum or is near his maximum? Or is it when a player has a red attribute it´s one of the top attributes in the league/division?

This is not a literal take, but for example red= 16-20, yellow= 13-15, white= 8-12, grey= < 7. Note this is just an example!

Great work Dave

There is a dark skin in the demo...

This IS the dark skin!!

Oh ok, I'm playing with the vanilla demo and it doesn't have it. I was confused by you saying that you had to set colours and stuff, are you saying that you can set your own colour scheme to the skin in-game using some sort of colour chart or something, rather than the old method of messing about with code?

I repeat myself, this thread must be stickied or alternatively SI must insert an option to change the color into FM10.

I agree. This year they've given us the ability to edit the squad screen in-game, which is something that we've previously had to do ourselves so why not give us the option in-game to change the attribute colours rather than have to manually edit .xml files? It's easy when you know how but the vast majority don't know how.

What does everyone think of the colour attributes on this?

I notice your name in the game is F West! You're not Fred West by any chance are you?
