drswit Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Unzip then place the "helveticalite" folder into your skins folder: Windows: \Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2015\skins\ Mac OS X: /Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2015/skins/ Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist. Start the game and go to Preferences screen and Interface tab. You should see "HelveticaLite Instant Result" as option in the skin drop down of the Overview box. Hit the Confirm button. To get the same squad view than on screenshots, place the "views" folder at the root of \Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2015\ or for Mac OS /Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2015.

drswit Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 And about the white text which is hard to read on some panels, yes i'm aware of this issue. I do not find which tag controls it. I keep working on it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pazzmon92 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I tried this skin, doesn't work with Windowed Mode - 1366*720, have to exit the game and temporarily delete the skin file to reload back the original, just get left with a black background.

drswit Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 I just tried at your resolution (in Windowed mode) and it works fine. Maybe you can try to start the game using the original skin, THEN once your game started, to go to the preferences and change the skin. Let me know if it works.

Pazzmon92 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Tried full screen mode (1990*720), still have black screen and when I restart FM15 with new skin I get caught on loading screen forever.

cervo06 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I can't see this skin in my options, I can choose only the original one...Does anyone know how to solve this? I put the skin in skins folder, like every year - Documents/SI/FM15/skins, but I don't see it there...Thanks for help EDIT: Ok, I solved it, I didn't have the folder with skin named 'helveticalite' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drswit Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Version 1.1 : - now featuring a grey sidebar instead of the old green one. - improved some panels - fixed some unreadable white text.

drswit Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 As i never got this problem, in spite of i tested it on 3 different computers, i can't explain it. It may be the parent skin tag in the settings : <flags id="parent" value="fm" /> . Edit the value in the file helveticalite.xml (at the root) and replace value="fm" by value="fm dark-widgets". Otherwise, please try this : Start the game with the original skin, then go to preferences > interface settings. Then, press the "Clear cache" button, then untick "use caching..." and tick "Reload skin...". Then select my skin and confirm. Let me know if it works.

janeka Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I love your skin, but I have some requests, I hope you can help me Is it possible: 1- Change the color of that litle bar from gray to blue (don't know if you know what I mean); 2-When you move the mouse around those options (Transfer Offer, Transfer Status, etc), it should me marked by a color, try on the regular skin, you will know what I am refering. 3-The font is a litle big, I wanted to be a litle more small. Is it possible to make those two colors (gray and green) more darker? Again font too big. Color too bright. I hope you can help me sort this out, if you don't understand of my requests please tell me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drswit Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Thanks Pazzmon92 for your kind words. Yes, there is still some problems i have to fix. The main one is that i don't find which attribute controls that white text which clashes with light grey backgrounds. I'll keep searching The sidebar is grey from the version 1.1. Yours is pink because the sidebar picks up the primary or secondary colour of your club. I'll try to find if it may be fixed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drswit Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 What a disappointment to see today that the official release version of FM2015 does not have any light skin. My idea was to work from it. Seriously, this dark skin is one of the worst one released in years... like an insult to any serious graphic designer (any interface designer knows it : an UI where the user will spends HOURS to kind of only reading TEXT (yea, FM is nothing else than a Excel viewer displaying stats) has to be relaxing for the eyes, it means... LIGHT. In the meanwhile, i have worked around my skin, redone from scratch, thanks to the base skins provided by michaeltmurrayuk. Main problems has been fixed, but i still have to fix a last annoying problem : the text colour of the menus, which is called by the same attribute than for the buttons. Expect some news tonight i hope Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
