ricki.bertolino Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 EDITED: Final version is now released! I've played with the skin for a week now and I didn't find anymore problems; it also look like you guys didn't find any major issues, therefore I'm going to release the final version early (like now ) link: http://www.mediafire.com/?xmzfklfcjebkn7e If you are using the beta version I would suggest to download this version and copy over the existing fm2013carbon folder. Changes: - All instances of blurry text fixed - "Contracted by..." text is now white - Profile extra attributes are now white (they were grey) - Default trophy colours changed to make white text more readable - Some buttons in the match panels that were solid black are now transparent - Table highlight made more transparent Enhancements: - Added Carbon 2013 XL - this version has bigger text. Disclaimer: I added this because of some request, however it is not perfect. Some of the text are cut off (like titles in player profile), and there is no way to make it look good without a redesing of the panels (which I'm not going to do). If you are going to use this version don't message me about text issue that I'm aware of. Thanks. Features of the skin: - Dark look for all non match panels. - Transparent look for all match panels, including floating widgets. - Opposition instructions panel has extra view for quick selections of all opposition instructions. - Player pick list does no longer have the different row colour for non picked players / sub players (all rows are always black) - The note icon (the annoying yellow square on a player / staff if a note exists) has been removed Happy playing you all Screenshots: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nik33 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 For example, in the key employees the names that are bold.. Also, I think this background (or a similar dark green) makes your skin even better, maybe you could add it as an option http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/7735/defaultuc.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Macklam Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Could you please change one thing or at least make it an option? When looking at a teams history overview page the trophies are silver with white writing on them. The numbers are almost invisible. Please either make the numbers in black or make the trophies another colour? I did have gold ones but I deleted everything for FM12 before playing FM13 so lost mine (stupid mistake I know).

ricki.bertolino Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Not showing in the skins list folder is in the skins folder ? you need to unzip the file and put the fm13carbon folder into My Documents\Sport Interactive\Football Manager 2013\skins. If you haven't installed a skin yet for FM13 then you won't have the skins folder; just create it manually and put the folder in there. Once you've done that you should be able to see the new skin in the skins list under preferences screen of the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricki.bertolino Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Will try after, are you still releasing it a bigger font? I'm gonna try bigger fonts this week. I will play with font size and shadow to to make the text more readable and get rid of blurry text. It will be a different skin, so that people can choose between default text and bigger text.

Emmeth Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hi, would it be possible please to have a full carbon skin ?

Anyway thanks to all the modders, you are the only reason FM still have success. do you mean have all the screen looks like the carbon background that I'm using? all the widgets? Frankly that's not possible by using standard semi-transparent panels, as in some screens they overlap, and therefore they make the panels black no matter what. If you try to make them as little transparent as possible pages with non overlapping panels would look weird with no panels separation. I think the only way would be to make the panels with carbon pattern themselves, but this would be a huge amount of work and not something that I would be able to make I'm afraid.

In addition to what nik said, the ones that stand out are on the player attributes page, the nationality, age, footnedness etc. It crops up in other places as well such as the search results screen on all the tabs (People, Clubs, Nations, etc). Looks good overall though edit: Screenshot to illustrate The text on the right for GK, condition etc are also grey so hard to read on the dark background. Is it also possible at all to edit the attribute thresholds for normal, good, excellent within the xml files provided? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
