[FM21][SKIN] Football Manager 2021 Base Skins

Football Manager 2021 Base Skins

 

As with most recent Football Managers for you to make certain changes in Football Manager 2021 you need to create a new skin. Thankfully over the last few years some more stuff has been moved out of the skins folder so you only really need the Base skin if you are wanting to edit the skin graphics, fonts or colours. If you want to edit the match graphics or most of the panel xml files you no longer really need the base skins.

So to make things easier for people I've put up some base skins that are identical to the default skins that come with the game, so you can add new files/graphics to these without messing up the original skins, and anything that isn't located in these new skin folders will be taken from the default locations within the game.

For Football Manager 2021 at the moment you have three skins to choose from the Default (Purple) Skin, and two Dark Skins one based on the FM21 colouring (Purple accents) and one based on the FM20 colouring (Cyan and Yellow accents). Light Base Skins will follow but with no default light skin this year they require a bit more work.
 

I'll also upload the Dark (and when they are ready Light) Versions to the Steam Workshop later for those that want a Dark/Light skin but don't need to edit them.

If there are any issues with the Dark Skins please let me know as I prefer a Light Skin so may not be the best judge of the Dark Colour Scheme and have largely relied on the default scheme working, though I did make a couple of changes so there might be a need for some more tweaks later, and if you do come across an issue please upload a screenshot as it makes it a lot easier and quicker to narrow down the problem.

 

Base21 Skin

This skin is based on the Default Football Manager 2021 Skin, and is identical in appearance to that skin.

Base21 Dark Skin

This skin is based on the Dark Football Manager 2021 Skin, which whilst included with the game files hasn't been enabled by default. The skin layout is identical to the Default FM21 skin, however the main Purple colour has been replaced with Black, but I have left the Purple Accents. Whilst the Inbox and Scouting Centre have both been made dark unlike in the Default Skin.

Base21 Dark (FM20) Skin

This skin is based on the Dark Skin from Football Manager 2020. The skin layout is identical to the Default FM21 skin, and the colour is largely the same as the Base21 Dark Skin however I have switched the Accent colours over to the Yellow and Cyan used in FM20. This version also has a dark Inbox and Scouting Centre.

Install Instructions:

When you extract the file you have downloaded you should have one folder (with a name starting base21...) and a readme text file.

Now copy the folder into your skins folder within your User Data Location, by default this is:

For Windows:
C:\Users\[Your Windows Username]\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\

For Mac:
Users\[Your Mac Username]\Library\Application Support\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021

If done right your skins folder should look something like this:
 

And inside for example the base21 folder you should have the following folders:
 

To select the skin in game you will need to load the game, and go into the Preferences Menu, then in the middle you should have a section called Interface and in that is an option called Skin with a drop-down menu under it.

If you select the drop-down menu it should list all of the skins you have installed, if the skin you want is listed then just select it and press the Confirm button to load it.



If the skin you want isn't showing.

Then you can either select the Advanced option on the left and on the top right drop down select Interface, then scroll down the Skin section and untick Use caching to decrease loading times and tick Reload skin when confirming changes in Preferences.

Or in the search bar at the top type in Skin and in the listed results untick Use caching to decrease loading times and tick Reload skin when confirming changes in Preferences.



Then click Confirm at the bottom, this should then take you out of the Preferences menu but if you re-enter, it should have refreshed the list of skins and your skin should now be in the list.

Once the skin is loaded you can turn the skin cache back on and untick the Always Reload button.

v1.2 Update

[michaeltmurrayuk]

How To Stop the Blurring Effect when Processing

FM2016 introduced a new feature where when the main screen isn't the focus of the screen it blurs out, however if you don't like this effect it is simple enough to disable it, to do this simply browse to the following locations within the Base Skin you are using:
NOTE: For FM21 there are now two locations, so you may need to edit them both to disable the blurring.

\graphics\boxes\dialog\background
\graphics\boxes\bordered\blurred

Inside each location will be a paper xml file open them and locate this line:

<boolean id="blurred" value="true"/>

and change it to read:

<boolean id="blurred" value="false"/>

For your changes to take affect

If you have made any changes to the base skins (colours, fonts, graphics) to get your changes to show you’ll need to go into the Preferences -> Interface Menu and untick ‘Use caching to decrease page loading times’ if it is ticked and then tick ‘Reload skin when confirming changes in Preferences’ then click confirm and your changes should be applied, if you have previously ticked and unticked the required boxes a 'Reload Skin' button should appear in the bottom left corner, if this button appears you can click that if the Confirm Button is greyed out.

[michaeltmurrayuk]

How To enable Background Changes

The Default FM21 skin somewhat supports background images this year however the fade effect and the transparent titlebar cause some issues, so I have included my Background Support Mod within the Base Skins again this year.

To Adjust the Overlay Strength

If you browse to the boxes\custom\background folder inside the graphics folder for the Base skin you installed you'll notice several graphic files these are numbered by the level of opacity - 0 is fully transparent and 100 is fully solid. For the default file I have copied over the default fade graphic so not cause issues for people who don't use background images.

To adjust the overlay strength first make copies (or at least rename) the existing paper and paper@2x files so you can revert back to this if you need to.

Next make two copies of the file with the transparency you want and rename one to paper and the other to paper@2x. (The @2x file is used for zoom modes and higher resolutions and it's a good idea to set this file even if you don't need it to stop the game defaulting to a different file that may affect you level of transparency).

To get the game to read your changes make sure the skin cache is off and reload your skin and the changes should apply, it is then just a case of picking a level that suits you.

If you want to adjust the overlay strength then just follow these instructions with one of the other files until you are happy with the level of transparency.

 

For your changes to take affect

If you have made any changes to the base skins (colours, fonts, graphics) to get your changes to show you’ll need to go into the Preferences -> Interface Menu and untick ‘Use caching to decrease page loading times’ if it is ticked and then tick ‘Reload skin when confirming changes in Preferences’ then click confirm and your changes should be applied, if you have previously ticked and unticked the required boxes a 'Reload Skin' button should appear in the bottom left corner, if this button appears you can click that if the Confirm Button is greyed out.

[michaeltmurrayuk]

How To Edit The Fonts

The font settings are now controlled by the various files located inside the fonts folder. For the base skins I have included all the default font files to save you having to go look for them. To edit the fonts its just a case of changing the various variables declared in the fontxml files, whilst to change the actual font you copy the font you want to use to the font folder and then update the font names in the fontxml files to match your new font.

Like with FM20 FM21 also uses the fontxml file format, however the format of the files is the same and you can open them with the same program you use to read normal xml files, you'll just need to right click on the first file and select the open with option in Windows first to associate the files with the program you wish to use. NOTE: The game will not read them if you change them back to plain xml files.


How To Edit The Font Colours

The colour settings for each skin are controlled by the <skin name> settings xml file located inside the settings folder.

For the base skins I have copied in the relevant coding for you to change the various colours used by the skin – you just need to open the <skin name> settings xml file and locate the relevant line for the colour setting you wish to change – the colour names and comments should explain what the majority of the colours control.

The colours are declared in RGB values, that range from 0-255 where Red=255 Green=255 Blue=255 is white and Red=0 Green=0 Blue=0 is black.

To locate the RGB value of a colour you want to use you can either use a image editing program to obtain the RGB Value of the colour or type rgb values into google and it will bring up several websites that list the RGB Values for various colours.

Note that whilst this file contains most of the text colour settings, some items are hardcoded, others are determined by the individual xml files and some others are set by the xml files in the fonts folder.

Also if you have the Skin Cache on you can change some of the colours directly through the game from the Preferences -> Interface-> Skin Colours screen

FM20 made some changes to how the Skin Colours work and a full guide will follow, the main things are a change to how the RGB values are declared, and the order the colours appear in the file is now important, but for the purposes of the Base Skins nothing has really changed as you should just be adjusting existing values rather than adding new ones or moving existing ones.


How To Recolour The Game Colours

Like with the font colours these are now controlled via the files found in the settings folder, and are changed in the same way as the font colours.

For the base skins I have copied in the relevant coding for you to change the various colours used by the skin – you just need to open the <skin name> settings xml file and locate the relevant line for the colour setting you wish to change – the colour names and comments should explain what the majority of the colours control.

I've done that, and added it, but it doesn't appear to be recording through into the game - does it need a config.xml or anything? or have I got the wrong path below?

[Ryan377]

Thank you for these 

Would anyone know how to remove the scrollbars in the attributes panel? Playing on full screen mode at 100% zoom. I had this issue in FM20 too (this thread) and I've tried amending the players attibute panel as recommended in that thread but with no luck. Previous thread

That panel is controlled by the player profile xml file found in the panels\player folder which you'll need to extract from the panels fmf file and copy over.

In that file locate this line near the top:

<container class="main_subtle_box" height="360" navigation_container="true">

And adjust the height value until the scroll bars disappear.

Thanks got it, looks like a couple of things on the inbox need tweaking.

For the time being you can update the rgb value of the bg tertiary colour name so the line reads;

<colour name="bg tertiary"      value="rgb(37,19,56)"/>

(which is the purple from the FM21 theme, unless someone has a better idea for a darker value as the cyan is used for the accent value?)

Eventually but it will be a little while (as in next week most likely) as without a default light skin there is a load of white text that needs manually finding and changing.

Don't think so looks like it just uses a generic id for the team names, so most likely not user changeable (outside of using an editor to alter the six letter names).

@michaeltmurrayukThanks so much for these, really helpful every year.

Is there a simple way to increase the size of player faces on the attribute screen. (or throughout) they are so small by default and there is so much lost space.

Thanks

Thanks

You can easily increase it on the Attributes screen, that screen is controlled by the player profile personal details xml file found in the panels\player folder which you'll need to extract from the panels fmf file and copy over, in that file locate the code near the top of the file that looks like this;

<!-- Profile picture -->
<widget class="picture" id="prop" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" image_alignment="centre_x,bottom">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="40,40,0,0" />

Those four inset values determine the position of the player face, in the order; top, left, bottom, right - so first number tells the game how much space to leave at the top of the container, second is how far from the left. Lowering those values will make the face bigger.

There is also similar code above that which does the same for the logo so you can play around with the positioning until you are happy, you can also change the bits on the other line as well if you wish.

Unfortunately there is no way to adjust the size of the faces (or logos) on mass, you need to manually edit the various xml files, though in various other places the game does fill the space.

Apologies @michaeltmurrayuk, one further question please.

How do I extract the necessary file? I'd assumed I would find it within the panels subfolder - I'm hoping to do it within your FM21 Base dark skin

 

EDIT - Since asking I've found your really helpful how to guides and have extracted the panels folder, once I've done the necessary edits and to play around with the sizing can I copy the file into your FM21 Base Dark skin folder for it to take effect or do I need to copy over the master folder in my steamapps>sports interactive folder? 

 

Should have looked through all your step by step guides initially... thank you so much for those, I've now got it all exactly as I would like. Have never extracted or played around with any of these files or coding before so thank you for such clear and easy to follow guides - made something that looks very intimidating to a complete novice actually very easy! Appreciated.

Michael posted the answer to this a few posts back. You need to go into the settings folder and open the settings.xml file. In there change the following value 

<colour name="bg tertiary"      value="rgb(37,19,56)"/>

Change the red values to a colour of your choosing as this sets it to the purple colour that is used in FM21.

can i ask will you be able to do anything with MIBH screens at all this year? as much as like some of the new features i hate the new format there and loved the last few years layout.. any way of getting any of that back?

[Alan Mc]

Can you get a skin that shows the green circles for positioning and the names on it tried loading in some skins but not found one that shows green circles and names can not be bothered keeping having to go into the players on the new one its terrible and why has this been changed? 

This was last seasons and it was the same the year before but now its changed 

[Alexpuk2002]

Does anyone know what colour setting controls the light blue on this screen? It is also shown on the press conference where the press ask questions. I'd like to change it to another colour as its too bright for the dark skin.

I cannot find the panels\player folder. I only have a client_object folder within panels, forgive me if I'm being thick.

 

Also how do I colour the bar at the top when on a team screen (ideally coloured to match the team colours), its currently see-through.

Awesome, just what i needed. Love the FMBase21 dark skin. Having dark skin and no bright white that hurts the eyes, and keeping the purple of the official one which gives u the feeling ur playing FM21, is just a very nice combination. Like it, Thanks alot!

I’ve noticed that bright yellow colour come thru in a few other panels too, it’s also on the football pitch in Scouting > Players > New Search in the pop up window...

The pitch is yellow, but when you click it, it turns to the green in the skin. Any idea where the code is to change that and remove the yellow from the pitch?

Edited November 25, 2020 by stevemc

Okay so not sure what I have done here but during a match the pitch isn't displaying. I watch matches in 2D classic. I have been editing panels for my skin and edited the client object browser.xml panel. I thought that it could be down to this so I removed that panel and left the default one unedited in my skin and it still doesn't show. This is what it looks like

Did you make the changes in the middle of a match? you might have to reload completed for changes to take place for the client browser.

I reloaded the skin during the match when I removed my client object browser.xml file and replaced it with the original. I'll see if it happens during the next match after reloading the skin out of the match screen

Usually the best way if changed stuff in the 3d part, it can be a bit tempremental.

That has fixed the issue, must have not liked me reloading the skin during the match.

I do have one question though, how do I move the subs panel from the top of the screen to the bottom?
