jamsimsafc Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hi, I've been trying to load the skin to my netbook and i'm on windows 7 starter. I've done all of the other instructions but can't do Number 2 (see below). Does anyone know where the settings are in application data on windows 7 as that is the file I can't find? . Manually adjust one of the xml files, first you may need to enable view hidden files, then browse to: XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\settings Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\settings Inside that folder will be a list of xml files (they may all be inside a Version 1003 subfolder for some reason), now you want to scroll down until you find the 'skin.xml' file open this with notepad and you will see something like this: <record> <string id="valu" value="netbook2010"/> </record> where it says netbook2010 will be the name of your currently selected skin, to select the netbook2010 skin type netbook2010 as shown above and save the file. The game will now load with the netbook2010 skin selected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

orjon Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Hi Michael thanks for all your efforts, seems to be working fine so far. Got a slight problem, might sound a bit silly, but I have to load the netbook2010 skin everytime i start the game which is a slight annoyance. When i exit the game and restart it seems to go back to the FM2010 default skin. How do i leave the netbook2010 skin as default? Apologies if i have missed the obvious fix. cheers OJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 You should just need to select the skin from the preferences menu and click confirm and it should remember your skin choice, you haven't been messing around with the desktop shortcut have you? If that doesn't work you can try options 1 or 2 in the opening post to get the game to load with the netbook skin without going into the preferences screen.

(ie squad, tactics etc) I really miss those form last year, The shortcuts should be in the menubar at the top with your name and the continue button you can customize them by right clicking on the menubar. Though with the shadowing issue it sounds like one of the header files is corrupted. You can try deleting the skin cache files (instructions here) if that doesn't work you can try redownloading the skin as your download may have been corrupted.

Aim_Less Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 man the new patch created a bug in the skin on the tactics screen please fix it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasilli07 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Yup, the new alphabet thing is not aligned with the position. Btw, is it possible to change the background now? Some mentioned only the fm09 skin provided by Steam allows changing of background. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Deleting the tactic panel.xml file from the panels folder and reloading the skin will fix the tactics screen for the moment, I'll release an update over the weekend when I've checked to see if anything else has been broken/changed. I don't think the background changes will work as the white/gray background used by the FM2010 skins aren't transparent. Though hopefully the tree menu can now be re-enabled fully so I may look into releasing a version with the tree menu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasilli07 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Just found another bug(not sure if you can call it bug)... In patch 10.2, there is suppose to be a new event called "Runs Past Opponent" in the analysis page but using the netbook skin, the event cannot be seen.

michaeltmurrayuk Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Both Verisons of the skin have now been updated to work correctly with patch 10.2 - the A, D, S text on the tactics screen should be fixed, as should issues with the news items on the home screen and the runs past opponent option is now added to the analysis tool, I've also updated various other files that were updated by patch 10.2 and tweaked the tabs a little more, a couple more extras have been added aswell. (Note if anyone has downloaded the skins between 19:00-19:15 today please redownload as the add manager xml file had the wrong name so you may have problems adding a new manager to the game, the version up now is fixed). Full Change Log v1.3. - Fixed issues brought about by patch 10.2 - Tweaked the tabs position so they are better aligned. - Added two new files in the extras folder: - collapse_match highlights.xml - makes the timebar container on the classic pitch collapsable, though once you have collapsed it, it doesn't uncollapse. - notimebar_match highlights.xml - disables the timebar container on the classic pitch view, though you also lose the camera button to change cameras you'll need to go into the TV View. Skin Extras: I've included a couple of extras in the extras folder to use them copy the relevant files into the panels folder: - Right Side Continue button, if you prefer the Continue button on the top right then copy the menubar.xml, match title bar.xml and match_menubar.xml files into the panels folder and reload the skin. - No Footer Continue button, if you don't want the Continue button in the footer then copy the footer.xml file into the panels folder and reload the skin. - collapse_match highlights.xml - makes the timebar container on the classic pitch collapsable, though once you have collapsed it, it doesn't uncollapse. - notimebar_match highlights.xml - disables the timebar container on the classic pitch view, though you also lose the camera button to change cameras you'll need to go into the TV View. - To get the modified match highlight files to work rename the one you want to match highlights.xml and copy it into the panels folder overwriting the existing one. To get the default view back rename the default_match_highlights.xml to match highlights.xml and copy it into the panels folder. --- The Modified match screens don't work 100% so I've only included them as extras. The collapse_match highlights.xml file allows you to collapse the timebar container during a match, though it doesn't uncollapse during a match - so you can select your camera and collapse it if you don't use the timebar. The notimebar_match highlights.xml disables the timebar container completely, though it does cause you to lose the camera button, if you want to use this to change cameras you'll need to do it from the TV view mode and then switch back. To use either mod rename them to match highlights.xml and copy the file into the panels folder and reload the skin. --- Download links are in the top two posts depending on what version you want: DOWNLOAD PAGE FOR LIGHT VERSION DOWNLOAD PAGE FOR DARK VERSION Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have installed the demo through Steam first you'll need to create a desktop shortcut to the fm.exe file (it should be located in \Steam\steamapps\common\football manager 2010 demo\ right click on the fm.exe file and send to -> Desktop) then follow the instructions in the opening post to add the --small_screen --windowed command. The game should now load and if you go into the preferences menu you should be able to select the netbook skin if you have downloaded it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Netbook skin is selected have you hidden or set the windows taskbar to auto-hide? As the windows taskbar takes up a fair bit of space and that might be causing the problem.

michaeltmurrayuk Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 michael: just a heads up, but in dark, there is a problem with the finances screen where the skin doesn't properly display the General Finances. Good spot, it was a pain to fix though - scrolling doesn't want to work in the bottom bit, I've fixed it so everything should now display but I've had to get rid of the finance graph are their just isn't enough room on that page. For anyone who has downloaded the skin before now to fix the finance screen you just need to download this file unzip it and copy the two xml files into the panels folder for either of the netbook2010 skins (fix applies to both light and dark versions) then go into the preferences menu untick skin cache tick reload skin and press confirm the skin should reload and fix the finance screen.

Invincible04 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Got it working!!!! If anyone else is in the same boat try this: Download the netbook skin and put it in my documents/sports interactive/fm2010/skins. On Steam click 'Properties' then type in "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\fm.exe" --small_screen --windowed OR "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\fm.exe" --small_screen --windowed --skin=netbook2010 (Not sure which one makes it work, it's the latter on my one) Now the game should load. When it loaded originally it didn't have the netbook skin but that is easy to change in the preferences. I was right clicking the desktop shortcut to the game and then Properties and changing the target there. Try it on steam and it may work! Working fine. Cheers for the help!
