Amazing skin !!! I'm already using, however I have a quick question. In the picture down below I can't see the current ability (STARS) / future ability (STARS) is there any way to fix this? I can edit something to make them appear?

 

Thank you again for this wonderful skin!

Any idea which code i need to put in order to add those?

 

You have to create/add code of these widgets. For example like this.

<!-- FORMATION SELECTION -->	
			<widget class="menu_strip_popup_button" id="form" secondary_icon_alignment="centre_right" icon="icons/16px/formation" icon_alignment="left" popup_alignment="left,top" appearance="buttons/custom/my match/button" size="10" auto_size="horizontal" default_width="200" alignment="centre">
				<record id="modal_popup_properties" dcep="true" />
				<record id="widget_properties">
					<translation id="title" translation_id="316746" type="use" value="Tactic[COMMENT:team report, tactic name]" />
					<integer id="width" value="380" />
					<flags id="auto_size" value="vertical" />
					<flags id="alignment" value="top" />
					<symbol id="appearance" value="boxes/popup/standard/titled/paper" />
					<symbol id="default_widget_type" value="hint_text_button" />
					<symbol id="submenu_type" value="subtle_popup_button" />
					<symbol id="separator_type" value="picture" />
					<record id="default_widget_properties" />
						<record id="submenu_properties" fixed="true">
							<event id="click_notification_event" event_id="DMCN" item="NULL" />
							<event id="menu_layout_notification_event" event_id="MLNO" />
						</record>
					<record id="separator_properties" file="dividers/standard/vertical/line" auto_size="vertical" />
				</record>
					<string id="mpmF" value="generic/modal popup panel match" />
			</widget>

And I'm sure you don't have to ask in every thread around this website or create a new thread for everything. Just be patient when someone will answer.

[PequenoGenio]

Congratulations to all the skin creators/makers for all of the amazing works you put outhere year after year.

But one thing that for me is missing is colours. The clubs/competition colours. On player profile like old school FM have or even TCS skins have in is 19 version . Sidebar with colours. Stuff like that (or this or even this).

Did you have to do anything to the transparent base skin to support background images or does it natively support them?

Needs a couple of tweaks in some areas, but mostly is supports them.

Oh sorry, I've not seen the v1.1 update for the Base Skin - I was just going off the original, some of the inbox files and international/continent screens have solid area (I posted them in this thread).

Weird

You've taken a picture of what you want, that must mean you have the skin.. Maybe from FM22, take a look at the file ppl keep giving you from the skin where you have the picture

that should give you the tabs you wants

This is really awesome work.

I just have one question - for this particular panel, what is the specific XML file that you have to edit if you want to alter anything?

Thanks!

Again, awesome work!

player personal details panel

[Jamie Aubrey]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, better than making a new thread but does anyone have the files for the default Social Feed ? I'm using an older skin and it's using the Twitter style and I'm not a fan since it's just stuck in the middle, I'd rather have it the full panel, I've tried searching for social in the default skin but nothing pops up

I deleted all files with the name social but its still the same ( minus the images )

Use the resource archiver, and extract panels.fmf

You're looking for human/news feed panel.xml

[GIMN]

Some more bits done.  Home screen, player pop-up (Changing the pop-up header colour might be the greatest achievement of my life!), Tactics and Club Info.

Still quite a lot to go: Staff Profiles, Squad Planner and Scouting will hopefully be the next areas, but I reckon pretty much every overview is going to need some work; at the very least a splash of colour (maybe something other than blue, too).  Then the joy of going through every inbox item and trying to find everything still with white text.

Thank you both of you. Actually I'm using Tato skin, as I like the match panels (during the match) more than on WTCS skin. I've switched to WTCS and yes is the default Club Overview panel, so I have also the stadium pictures instead of Logos. Now I have to figure my self how to put this into Tato skin.  Maybe someone can help me out? Just drop the panel xml of Club Overview into Tato skin (but that is a FMF file) so it will not work.

Just extract the FMF file with FM22 Resource Archiver.

Maintained the look of the 2022 skin and decided to override the “licensed scoreboards” and match captions, just my personal opinion on it. Most of the coding remained the same, besides new “recruitment panels” and other minor changes. Hopefully the full release version in just over a week will not “break the custom skins” lol 😂.

Probably not, I'm afraid.  I might do a version with attributes visible, but unlikely to a dark version (or if I do, it will likely be a long while after)

Looks great, always a big fan of your match preview line up layout but not quite got the knowledge to get to it myself & really like what you've done with the in match tactics too - alot better than the game standard! 

[GIMN]

Staff Profiles, Training & Medical Centre, Scouting, Squad Planner pretty much done.  Processing panel, too (forgot to include it in the screen record).

Got a few bits still left to do for gameday, and then it's onto overhauling the Data Hub - this is probably a bigger change (more akin to profiles and/or home page, than some of the edits above).  Then, the bit that scares me the most: the inbox - a never ending stream of random snippets of white text.  There's also a whole host of colours I want to tweak in the settings files, but that will probably be the last thing.  Hopefully might actually play the game soon!

[GIMN]

Revisited a (failed) idea from last year, adding last match report and upcoming fixture analysis to the home page.  Match day, inbox and data hub also done.  Just the scouring through for white text remains, doing some tests/adjustments for smaller resolution screens, and making a couple of tweaks to colours, and it might be "good" for release.

[a31632]

Updated/edited the licensed match preview line-ups (showing player faces and kits alternating for home and away teams, in this case Atletico and Celtic) and some other edits in the 2023 skin,

Take a look if you will be able to use the "complete" league table in that tab within the home page, I'm sure it would look better if you would have more data here.

I love to use this kind of table within Competition overview/review screen so I can see more than only three columns.

Agreed, looks better with full overview.  Also enlarged the positions history graph a little bit (although not as much as I would've liked as I want to make sure I've factored leagues with 24 teams fitting into that space, too).

Might think about making it narrower and seeing if I can squeeze in some league player stats (top goalscorer, assister, average rating) - preferably for the competition, not my own team; although in honesty, the league table is probably going to be the least used tab on the home page (for me, at least).  I've set it up so it doesn't save session, essentially forcing it to default to the News panel in an attempt to keep me more aware of what's going on in the game world outside of my own team.  I don't think it's going to work!

[BuzzR]

This is my skin for FM23 - an update from my FM22 skin. I've changed some colors, changed some panels and obviously got frustrated by a lot of little things .

A lot of panels are from other skins, or are inspired by other skins: FME, TCS, Tato, OPZ Elite, Statman. 

I own a big "thank you" to all of those who created these skins and to all the guys who took time to answer questions around here: @bluestillidie00 , @michaeltmurrayuk , @snowofman, @keysi to name a few.

This skin is not going to be published.

So here we go:

Club Panels

I wanted to get my club panel to look like other skins - with subtle boxes and a lot of info. You will find here some panels and inspiration from some of the skins that I've mentioned.

People Panels and Home Page

Player Overview Panel

Some changes from last year.. Removed selector for the bottom panels as I never use other panels there. Added per 90min stats from @_Ben_ 's skin.

Next Opponent Overview and Schedule

Opponent Manager on Next Opponent panel drove me crazy for a long time until @snowofman gave me a solution. You sir are a miracle for the skinning forum.

For Schedule I've decided to go with a link to the stadium.. because I wanted to visit that panel also  .

News Panels

These are 3 from a bunch of news panels I've changed these couple of years. Mostly I am aiming for transparency and uniformity ( pictures and data on the left, text on the right ).

Where it was possible I wanted to get rid of the scrollbars.

Match Panels

This is the result of the annoying bug that we had last year - when the panels of the tablet were resetting with every match. This solution came after a suggestion from @FMEnhanced. 

I've added this year Match Momentum and Pass Maps ( Pass Maps are buggy for now even in standard skin as far as I've seen).

Building on my desire to get away from numeric attributes, and maintain a sparse approach to presenting information (because I get easily overwhelmed), I've made a very modest start to this year's skin:

I. Want. This. RIGHT. NOW. 

Does the main colour (blue) change depending on the team, league, etc? This is amazing. Need a public or paywall release.

Not harsh at all. I could've turned around and said no, and then he'd have to either remake something no or shelve, it. Its easier to keep things to himself than have to deal with that politics.

I wouldn't, I never have (within reason) because its how almost every skin creator learns how to do it, but its just easier.

[KillYourIdols]

I'm Just thankful some people do release it for others, if others don't then so what, they are not obliged to.  All the info is out there for anyone to make their own skin, or modify an existing one, so feel free....

 

I have next to no Knowledge of Skinning, but I took @bluestillidie00 WTCS5  Skin, Made the background transparent, added squad faces to The Team talk and Match Bar thanks to @keysi and I love it. I won't release it because it is nothing special, nothing anyone else couldn't do and I woudn't want to provide updates/Fixes to it. I'd be happier using other peoples work privately than I would publically release it.

That’s probably the whole reason Buzz does not want to share it. If there is other peoples work in there I for one would not feel comfortable sharing. Especially whole panels.

Not without permission anyway …

Not harsh at all. I could've turned around and said no, and then he'd have to either remake something no or shelve, it. Its easier to keep things to himself than have to deal with that politics.

I wouldn't, I never have (within reason) because its how almost every skin creator learns how to do it, but its just easier.

That's your opinion and your entitled to it.

 

I'm just thinking of us little guys that don't have time/a clue what to do and would appreciate the share. Again, it's totally down to the individual but I have a right to express my thoughts/disappointment.

 

In a way it's a complement as they have done a very good job. Anyway, I'm sure Tato will save us come the full release, the Beta of the new 23 skin is looking incredable!

It's the same reason I won't share mine this year - I'd like to in future but it's the first time I've attempted skinning. Having panels available for me to look at the code and understand has been invaluable, but I wouldn't want to share anything yet as at a base level, it's not my original coding.

Thought this myself. Happy to take from everyone else haha

and? every skin takes from somewhere, we're all literally taking the default code from SI's skins and repurposing it for our own purpose. I think the first thing i ever "invented" with skinning was putting the league table on the club overview screen.  Last XI and instant result from from fm13, background selector literally pre dates me playing football manager. 

there's also a whole bunch of extra stuff that goes along with skinning, i have people messaging my personal social media accounts because they can't extract a zip file, or they want to change something to change them. Let alone if people dislike your skin and criticise it, it's very easy to take personally and let it get you down sid never hold it against someone for not releasing skins. 

Ive had to read less than nice things about myself on youtube/twitter/reddit because i choose not to provide help for people

Fair play to you, I wouldnt release a skin because of the absolute Sh*tshow of the comments I see. You're a better man than me. Anyone that takes their time to release a skin or helps others with theirs is.

I think this response is the perfect example of how people can act when you reply you won't share the skin (or some panel/file) with them. Just because I decided to not share I'm not entitled to share it on social media...

I mentioned it in the past in several places and in the blog post too but there are too many "skin makers" who download all the skins around, merge them together and if they are clever enough rename the skin at least. I still remember when someone released his FM21 skin but when you downloaded and extracted it, the skin name was "FM20 Rensie skin".

I learned a lot from many people here and I think we would all mention the same or very similar people. And I'm grateful I started asking here because without it I would learn nothing. If I'm really sad about something it's the fact that it's still only a beta version but some individuals take the FM22 skin, change the version number in the config and release it as a new skin. And they absolutely don't care about changing gaps, IDs or whole files. The person properties.xml file is a fantastic example as it contains the new statistics, for example. I know it's mainly because I'm a perfectionist but the main thing I did in the previous days since the beta version was released, was not to create something special or new, but I mainly checked what is wrong and what I have to update with the default panels/code/IDs to fix small details of what was working already.

This is absolutely fantastic small piece of FM world and it's great how several people are able to help here every day.

Stay strong, everyone.
