Thank you

can you show me a screen of the club overview?

Hi there

Thanks for your work!

A question: how do you install it?

EDIT

Solved, reading your instructions in 2015 thread

"

How to install :

Extract the content of the zip file at the root of your /skin folder.

Windows: \Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2015\skins\

Mac OS X: /Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2015/skins/

Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.

Start the game and go to Preferences screen then click on the Interface tab.

You should see two "HelveticaLite RC1..." as options in the skin drop down menu of the Overview box.

Choose yours then press the Confirm button."

Is there will be a dark one? I know you started a thread for the FM15 one, but I don't know if you finally did it, and I found the idea pretty cool, I kinda prefer dark ones!

Great job btw, still a lovely skin!

Could you upload the file to another site, like Mediafire? I get a malware warning when I try the download link.

Ge.tt is secure, but i uploaded the file to Mediafire to avoid any problem. Updated link in my first post.

My favourite one! Congratulations and thank you so much, drswit!

Thanks for your compliments

Sadly there won't be a dark version, as i really do no have the time this year

The coach/scout report of a player is abit strange, as some of the Pros of a player are highlighted with red icons, which I normally associate with Cons. Any way to change this? Or maybe a simple guide and I can do it myself as the red icons are confusing me alot:)

The colours can be change in the settings file. Should be in the skins folder. have a text search for 'pro high' the should be 3 pro and 3 con colours you can effect with the numbers.

That is strange, because all seems fine to me, regarding to this screenshot :

Edit : hmm i see, there are some pro icons which get a red colour. I absolutely don't know why at this moment, i'll see...

Great work with the skin! The start screen alone is very tempting for people to convince them into downloading lol

I've uploaded the file to our download server if you wish to add it as a download mirror. And I'll gladly host all new versions for you

Also assigned the page to you, should you wish to make any edits.

Thanks for skin mate, best skin of FM 15.

EDIT: This looks almost exactly like default skin, and in scout report some of pros are red colored.

Small Update.

HelveticaLite 2016 version 1.1

https://www.mediafire.com/?lswdod6q2tseul3

Changes :

• Fixed pro/con icons colour
  
• Lightened the first row of player overview panel (where there are player positions, attributes etc.)
  
• tweaked the player personal details panel (value, contract, scout report, etc.)
  

Awwww Yeeeaaahhhh! Good to see this skin is back again!

Thank you for your amazing work! : )

Can't really find the instant result button.....

Hmmm, you are right, i'll check it.

Can't really find the instant result button.....

I had same kind of problem at first and it´s because you overwrote whole folder. You need to put those files inside the folder without overwriting all stuff in there. [sorry my english ].

I simply unpacked the skin into my skins folder. did not overwrite anything.

You are right Niejo, i just tested. I've mixed up some files with the version 1.1. I'll fix it tonight and in the meantime, you can revert back to the version 1.0 : http://download1506.mediafire.com/awdwwkd3j4yg/pyekyawpa499fdu/helveticalite2016.v1.0.zip

Actually, i don't know if it will be tonight, as i was working this morning on a major update and i need some extra time

Don't feel rushed, i am just glad there will be something done about it

As you are working on improvements, i'd like to post a request.

regarding the FM15 version, i'd very much like to see something like this...

https://i.gyazo.com/7e0c1a7511d48ca7346ee37dbb17834d.jpg

Looks nice. Too bad there won't be a dark version of this. Are you you don't want to make one?

I especially like the main menu background picture:D

@ Niejo : yes, i'll integrate the Match In-Between Highlights Mod.

@yonko : at this moment, i don't plan to make a dark version, but who knows

another request....

In the current helvetica skin, i really miss these suitability icons...

how do i change that menu screen with a woman?

Nearly perfect! Only one thing missing in my opinion. Attribute changes in the player profile panel please

Looks great, thanks Dr Swit!

edit: spotted that the black txt in the image below (overview, news etc...) is the teams' secondary(?) color... could you make it that it becomes white everywhere? as the title bar is dark gray everywhere...

How do I adjust the skin so that the header and titlebar will recolour while keeping that function deactivated for the sidebar?

Same problem. All clubs with black as secondary colour have this problem, plase fix that.

And potential changes on "atributes page" (a lot free space).

I second this.

Along with the team color "issue" fixed, this would be very nice to have.

how to change positions pitch line's color? and turn old (v1) colors on menubar

Skin looks great. First one I like for FM16.

But is there possibility to make text and some things a bit more darker and sharper. For example match sharpnes and condition in tactics screen. Some places the light background goes to in with lighter and smaller text and it is hard to understand.

Thanks and cant wait for update.

To all : To enable recolouring of header, titlebar and titlebar search panels :

1) simply delete or rename header.xml and titlebar search panel.xml

2) then replace the bold text at line 110 in client object browser.xml :

from :

<!-- coloured actions bar image -->
<widget class="bordered_box" id="ACTb" appearance="boxes/custom/interface/tab bar/paper" [b]red_replacement="blak" green_replacement="blak"[/b]/>

to :

<!-- coloured actions bar image -->
<widget class="bordered_box" id="ACTb" appearance="boxes/custom/interface/tab bar/paper" [b]red_replacement="primary" green_replacement="primary"[/b]/>

To all : i don't know at this moment how to stop recolouring of the menus in the action and menu bar.

To Kruna : i simply added player profile.xml file from ArtDekDok mods. You can delete this file to get the original layout back.

To xskydrone : the "show recent attribute changes" is working fine in player profile, just reload the skin or the game.

I now have this problem with "header" (white fonts on white background):

Hmm, that doesn't doesn't seem to work for me. Title bar and header are still not recoloring. I've tried reloading the skin and also restarting the game.

To all :

My bad...

1) simply delete or rename header.xml and titlebar search panel.xml
