timkanu Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 FOR FM2013 Hi there, I have edited the default skin to have bigger and bolder fonts for people that have high resolution screens and find the default text hard to see. Download from here... https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B5ccpsql3KJYTEhZYTd1Y3NmXzg extract and put "fm2013hd" folder into \Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2013\skins folder. If the skins folder is not there just create one. In FM2013 properties select the skin from the drop down menu of the profile tab. Go to the "interface" tab of preferences and untick "use caching to decrease page loading times" and tick "reload skin when confirming changes in preferences". Then hit confirm at the bottom, and the new skin with bigger/bolder font should be loaded. Here is a comparison screen-shot between default and my edited skin.. DEFAULT: http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/4079/defaultqs.jpg < FULL SIZE NEW SKIN: http://img803.imageshack.us/img803/3392/newgos.jpg < FULL SIZE This is what ive ended up with.

Anyone know the name of the files of the white panel backgrounds are ? If i knew this i would edit them in photoshop. But i cant find them in any of the extracted fmf folders.

White Flag Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Thanks for this. I've added a completely black background pic to this skin now and it's a lot better. Looks like we'll have to wait a bit though until someone works out how to mess about with the opacity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timkanu Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Hmmm yes there must be a simple way to change the opacity of the panels. Any proper skinners want to inform me what i need to change to make it a bit more see through ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timkanu Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Got it working, is there any way of making the font bigger? Yes you can make it even bigger if you want, but then it becomes too big for the panel graphics and start to cut the writing off. So i edited the writing to be about as big as possible for the default skin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Flag Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Got it working, is there any way of making the font bigger? Go into the 'fm2013hd settings' xml in the settings folder, and change the font size values. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlvaroPDK Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Good choice of atribute colours, almost as mine. It's astonishing the great amount of wasted space for those of you playing on 1920x1200. Even playing on 1280x800 like me, the default screen elements are too small since the changes introduced on FM12. Thanks for your work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Davis Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Hey guys, So I followed the instructions and placed this skin in Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2013\graphics\skins\fm2013hd and my game will not read the skin. Go to the dropdown menu and it's only showing the default FM 2013 from SI? I have to be missing something easy as so why this won't load, right? Edit: Yes, I unclicked use cache and clicked on always reload. My game doesn't want to see the skin to even load it. A bit confused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
