stoned_assasin Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Apparently its because of the skin you use. I cant find an update for the one i use so does anybody know of a simple fix. Its not nice having to hunt around just to find what day it is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 There's no simple fix, the onus is on the person who created the skin to release an update, failing that there might be some hints & tips in the skinning forum on how you can correct the error yourself.

Nina-Sky Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 but im using original skin... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scab Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Then try going into Preferences > Display & Sound, untick Use Skin Cache, tick Always Reload Skin On Confirm, and click Confirm. It will load for a bit and then you'll hopefully see the date again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nina-Sky Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 actually i use this skin which is a copy of original skin, because i want to change attribute colors... http://sites.google.com/site/michaeltmurrayuk/Skins/base-skins-for-football-manager-2012 ive been told changing attribute colors by settings + installe logos and facepacks isnt possible, so i install this copy of normal skin and then change attribute colors by a file in documents...

It is possible, at least it works for me. Use the normal skin, install the logos and facepacks as usual, then just tick 'use skin chase' and untick 'always reload skin on confirm', and change the attribute colors to whatever you want. This also cuts down on the time it takes FM to load, since facepacks and logos don't have to be reloaded. IF you add new faces or logos, just untick 'use skin cache' and reload the skin, tick 'use skin cache' again and set the colors again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I had the same problem, where I was usinga copy of the original skin with some alterations. Using the resource archiver to extract another copy of the default skin and using that fixed it for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 1. i will test this, how do you extract copy of default dark skin? The file is called skins.fmf, if you extract that using the resource archiver you will get a folder with all of the original skins in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nina-Sky Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 The file is called skins.fmf, if you extract that using the resource archiver you will get a folder with all of the original skins in. and that file is located at?

thomit Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 The date in the top left corner disappeared with the latest patch, for some custom skins. Switch back to one of the default skins - solves the problem. Then wait untill the maker of the skin you were using, updates it. To be specific: I was using the Base BG Dark Skin - just like the default dark skin, but with background pics enabled. After the latest patch, my date and time in the top left corner disappeared. Switched to the default FM 2012 dark skin, and it fixed the problem. Not really a biggie for me, I find the default dark skin to be good enough, and I don't really miss having background pics.

Nina-Sky Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 ive now extracted skins.fmf i play with 2012 dark right? then why is that one empty? so i put dark widget in skins (cause it had some files in it) and the game couldnt find it in settings.

thomit Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The location (Windows 7) should be [user]/My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2012/skins. If you have Windows Vista, I'm sorry but I have forgotten where the location for the skins is ... but it looks to me like you have put your skins directly into My Documents. You need then to find the Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2012/skins string, to put them in. But I can't understand why you can't just change back to the default skins via the game preferences ... have you deleted the original skins? Or changed the default "user" path?
