Any news about the light version?

Would you like me to quote the previous response where I said there is no provisional date? 

It will be no earlier than the next major update for the dark mode - which will be 2-3 weeks after the next official SI patch.

I just wanted to clarify at what stage the light version is at

I'm really looking forward to the light skin

[ChaosReiter]

Love it the moment saw it, nice designing!

How do you make the attributes numerical instead of graphical?

No.  Sorry.

I'm loving it but I thinkg I'm having a visual problem. I can't see the mentality nor player roles and duties in the team seletcion pre match window.

I'm using a 1366 x 768 both in game and in Windows. And already change the zooms options but it is always the same.

Your screenshot here is 767 pixels high.   As crazy as it sounds, that 1 pixel makes a difference (well, as you can see).  I'll see if I can find a solution, but the margins are exceptionally fine.  I am also on the way home from a work trip abroad, so it won't be tonight (and probably not tomorrow as I will almost certainly go straight to bed after I finish work)

Don't worry, I'm enjoying the skin. Just wanted to know if it was something about my resolution or a rare bug.

Anyone else having problems actually getting the file from MediaFire?

EDIT: Managed to work it out, seems my internet provider was stopping it as I had to go over a VPN to be able to download it.

Thank you for this lovely skin. 
 

I now need to learn to play a whole new way!!

[JR866Gunner]

Can anyone please advise how to remove the instant result button please? I have never been a fan of it personally (no offence intended)

I'm no fan of it either.  Well that's not fair.  I just don't have any desire to use it for my saves.

Regardless, go to Mustermann Iconic 1.1/panels/match folder, search "Instant Result", delete all three files.  Reload skin with caching off.

Will give this a go tonight, thanks!

I love everything about the skin but i cannot shake the 20+ year addiction to needing transparent stadium backgrounds at each club. Is it a) even possible with this skin? or b) not worth it because it would ruin the actual quality of the skin?

How do I determine the competence of my player's weak foot?

It'd probably take a very long time, going through and adding transparency to a lot of files where the background is set as a block.  And then you wouldn't see the pictures much anyway because there are boxes on top of them.

The colour coding indicates it at a glance, otherwise it's the same as in the default skin - go to Development -> Tactics

Thank you! I've been ditching every other game since I was introduced to your skin!

Is this some new view or a newer version of your skin? It looks really great. I'm thinking of the team view and the quick view of the players on the left
Or is it just the "magic" of the video?

Not magic of the video, or part of the skin.  It was something that I worked on, but unfortunately is not fit for public release as it causes issue elsewhere. Namely, you can't see loan players (that you've loaned to other teams), international squads are completely blank, you can't set lineups from this screen, and certain columns become buggy in some views (condition keeps on bringing up the popup everytime you switch between players, for one)

I love the videos btw. and the skin. I know when I'm watching them I see little "sexy" UI bits then I realise it's the magic of video. The 4 player wagon wheel comparison is def one of those. Lets see what FM25 brings us on the UI front.

I'm excited to see what FM brings with FM25.  I'm hoping to see they get a lot more freedom with having to build stuff from the ground up.

Incidentally the multiple pizza-chart comparison, is something else I could do with that layout:

It's just such a shame it causes issues.  Like genuinely, this is the one "idea" I worked on that I'm genuinely upset I couldn't get to work in a way that was fit for public release.

Hello, I am new to fm and I just downloaded the skin. I followed all of the instructions, but it still doesnt show up in the interface settings. If someone could please help me that would be great.

Have you followed the instructions in the YouTube video on the first page?

I think I have already thanked you for the amazing work a few times on YouTube but might as well do it here also. 

At first I felt a bit doubtful about going attributeless but after installing the skin and playing with it, I have come to a decision where I never want to go back to the traditional way as this way is so much more interesting to me. Especially as there has been a gap of two years in terms of following football which means that I don't even have that good knowledge on the current players. Removing player search means that I can quite heavily rely on my scouts which is fantastic. 

Probably I am not supposed to ask but hopefully the light version is still in your plans and wip? 

[the_hoyle]

I know you have said that you will not release an attributes version of the skin, but is it something that can be easily changed in the files for someone who would like it?

The light version is still planned.  As there were no ME changes with the last patch, I am waiting for the next patch to see if there will be - and the next release/update for the skin will be approximately 2 weeks after that.

You will need to start by reverting every instance of "attribute_circle" to "attribute_label" across all the xmls it appears.  Then you'll need to change the colours in the settings xmls so that they are readable.  You may also need to delete various panels where attributes have been removed from, but I don't keep a list of every place that is, so it'll be a bit of trial and error on your behalf.  You'll probably need to add ranges to the DNA classes so that it can show at each value.  For areas where attributes are aggregated across multiple values, this will need to be entirely redesigned to however you prefer.

What would I need to change in the skin in order to turn the text black instead of white or would this affect the pie chart etc underneath also? Not sure if only the players name etc in the box part can just be changed to black?

In the settings file, change mustermanntext and mustermanntextfaded

Hi Gimn,

I give this also no a try. Hello world of Moneyball 

Two questions: 

Is there a way to get a Pizza chart for youth players for their performance in the youth league? 

Is this the current or potential ability?

Thanks in advance

Volker

Current, technically.  It's an aggregate of their attributes in those training categories.

[janrzm]

I've enjoyed the skin, it wasn't a transition I made instantly or easily for that matter and I certainly needed to persevere. But, it does change the game in a positive way. One of the biggest positives is that it opens your mind to the number of available players. Previously I'd always find myself having "tunnel vision" towards certain players and unfairly eliminating others on stats. This pushes you to analyse key areas of their game and removes the number prejudice......

I did tweak the attribute threshold numbers to 16, 12 and 8 though and if I had one wish it would be that SI gave us just one more (optional) row in the preferences, Elite, Excellent, Good, Average and Low would be ideal for people that struggle to let go of those numbers. 

Thanks again @GIMN for introducing me to a new experience in this game I've played forever....... 

[PeteMac1990]

Im trying to get the colours of the text of the yellow bar at the top of the page to be black but this seems to also change the text of the squad below. Is there a way to only change one and not both?

[Cube1397]

Hello, I am running into a problem with the skin and wondering if you knew how to fix it. Hopefully I can explain well enough so you can understand what is going wrong. Whenever I click on the Squad page it auto sorts my players by the last column on the squad view for example transfer value. I can sort the players by anything but as soon as I go back out of the squad page and back in it reverts what I was sorting as back to whatever is the last column of the view. Am I doing something wrong on my end? Hopefully that made sense, I can clarify more if needed.

Hi,

I noticed this on the pizza chart. Not sure why the passes completed on certain player, isn't showing in the proper location. See Below. I looked at the league I'm in and it is mostly for striker position. Doesn't happen to all the striker though.

Thanks

I'm trying to get the skin to work and it just doesn't seem to be happening. I downloaded it and then I tried extracting it through multiple means, like 7-zip, winzip, and breezip, it is unzipping however, when I go onto FM it doesn't recognize that I have the skin. I figured I must be doing something wrong and was wondering if I could get some help. Attached will be screenshots to show what I did with the files. (Following the final screenshot I then put this extracted file into the skins folder in FM24).
