I'm using Scorpio v1.6, I've posted what's in my file above. Thanks for any advice you have.

Ah alright. I was testing it with Scoprio v1.7b.

Try updating your Scorpio skin with the latest version, then make those changes and still see if it works.

i made it work... you have to replace both entries through the skinname. for flutskin it should look like this:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<record>

setting the required_version to 7.0.1 makes sure the skin won't be listed if the game is in version 7.0.0.

- Secondly, the first number ("major version") is used to decide which version the skin was designed for,

so if the version is "7.0.0" it won't be listed in the list of skins if the game version is "6.0.0." or "8.0.0",

even though 7 is less than 8.

Can you explain me why the command colour name="menu_highlight" is not working anymore after the patch? The underline below the active view at top of the screen is back to default green. It's the same with every skin since the update... If you change such things could you at least let us know... Here's a screen shot of what I mean. It should be orange:

If you use Flutskin you can use these files (put it in skin folder).

The file named skin_config(2) you have to change for skin_config (this config is for dark version).

The skin_config is for white version.

MY GOD...EVERY YEAR

You did it last year and we had to change lots of codes for panels etc and now this total mess.

Whats bugging me most is the fact I agree with Dave Byrd for a change..haha

Got my skin working but I am hearing reports of other issues now with 3d kits etc not working anymore

"Why do you do this, is it just to make it harder for"

Why oh why do you have to do this? Why make these changes, its clear that it is going to cause problems and so it has. Now my the lovely custom scorpio skin i was using doesnt work and i cant get it to do so. It does in fact appear that you seem to want to make things harder for skinners to make new skins, which is baffling as we all appreciate the work they do!

I made the changes suggested (at least I think I did) but I can't the skin to show up.

I changed the name if the XML file in the skin folder to skin_config.xml and I updated the code in it to this (update in bold):

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<record>

I've downloaded the Scorpio skin with the updated settings but I still can't get the skin to work. It shows on the drop down list but the skin just won't load.

I've deleted the caches folder in the app data folder as well for FM15.

Any clues please?

Sent you a PM. Use that and you should be good to go.

?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

The bolded lines are the one I put inside the file and I still have no luck making the skin works.

Any suggestion about where I did wrong? Thanks before.

1: Change the config file name to skin_config.xml

2: Make sure both these strings are in

string id="name" value="Insert name of skin here" /

string id="skin_name" value="Insert name of skin here" /

With < before string id and > at the end of the line.

That should make the skins work.

Worked for Aurum, thanks!

Change colour by add this line to your settings

<!-- Tab -->

<colour name="selected_tab_highlight" red="60" green="153" blue="116"/> <!-- Used to indicate which tab is selected -->

So does anyone know what's the new code for the menu highlight? It's driving me crazy...

its been added to the skin settings file as a colour choice

<!-- Tab -->

<colour name="selected_tab_highlight" red="217" green="177" blue="40"/> <!-- Used to indicate which tab is selected -->

add this to your file and amend colour to suit - these rgbs are for gold
