NOTE: IF YOU ARE USING FM2011 PLEASE SEE THIS THREAD: Skinning, Modding and Graphics Bible for FM2011

So with Spring nearly upon us it's time for some spring cleaning, and to make things easier to find (and in the hopes that people might actually read them) we have decided to condense the amount of Stickied threads.

Over time this thread will hopefully contain everything you need to know to modify or create FM Graphics and skins in the way of guides and links to useful threads.

For the moment it will be split into three parts (each having it's own post below):

- How to Create FM Graphics.

- How to Create FM Skins.

- Links to useful tools, mods and threads.

If you have any comments or suggestions on the layout or spot a useful thread that has been missed please use the suggestions thread here
