daherlihy Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 34 minutes ago, GavinG said: If you have a look at 'skin_config.xml', first thing to note is the line: <boolean id="fmc_skin" value="true" /> This indicates that it's a skin for Touch. If that line has a value of false or is not present, then it is a skin for full FM. Next, there's this line which indicates that it's a tablet skin: <boolean id="tablet_skin" value="true" /> Then there's this section which indicates that the skin "builds upon" the default 'fmc tablet' skin.: <list id="parent"> <string value="fmc tablet" /> </list> This section may also be represented like this, which is the equivalent: <flags id="parent" value="fmc tablet" /> So in the case of the ones I've posted, they have 'parent' of 'fmc tablet', then just a couple of files to change colours. It looks like the default tablet skin is similar to PC skin, but with increased spacing and some buttons added/changed to improve controls on a touch screen. The stuff I've done probably works ok on tablet because it doesn't deviate too much from that default. If you have a PC FM Touch skin you may be able to get it going on a tablet by setting the 'parent' value above to 'fmc tablet' (it would likely just be 'fmc' on PC). That might work but it will depend on the skin. If it's fairly small modifications you'll probably be ok, but skins with more heavily customised panels are likely to cause problems. As I've mentioned, I don't have the tablet version myself so haven't been able to look into this much. That being said, there doesn't seem to be a great deal of Touch skins around at the moment. Thanks - so are you saying that downloaded skins could be tested on FMT on tablet just by changing the values for the boolean fmc_skin and tablet_skin attributes to true inside the skin_config.xml file?

GavinG Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 A PC Touch skin could be tested on tablet just by adding the 'tablet_skin' line, but it would have to be a Touch skin to begin with. You can't make a Full FM skin into a Touch skin just by adding the 'fmc_skin' line. What I meant was the 'fmc_skin' line is how you would identify that it's a Touch skin. Hope that makes sense. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

yd1882 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hi, Great FMT skins! I'm trying to add an additional folder/panels i.e 'match' folder (taken from the FMT base skin) and including it in these skins. But it doesn't appear to work. I've followed the exact file pathway - as it appears in the FMT base skin i.e ...\panels\match. Cleared cache etc, but doesn't seem to make any difference. Grateful for some help.

abbespl Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 @GavinG Mate, any idea how to fix small windows popup when you screening members of staff? It does not look properly at the moment. Could be sweet if there is any possibility to make: 1) showing attributes in boxes, like for players 2) fix those double information eg. picture etc. Bless you all.

For FM Touch there's Dark/Light skins based on full FM + versions of each with background support, and for full FM there's versions of Dark/Light/Purple with background support. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/11jwuqvjb2uob63/AAAA0CUOYFb0aO6l0mDsSdwKa UPDATE v03 now available. Same link above. Fixes invisible checkbox and other bits. Tablet version is there as well (including background support). Since I don't have the tablet version myself, could I ask those who have it working to please help out anyone who's having trouble. Currently v03 only includes. Light will follow shortly. If you prefer light, stick to v02 (which is the same as the existing version). Full FM versions remain at v01. All they do is enable background support, so unless there's any major issues it's unlikely they'll be updated. Can someone please help! I can’t seem to get any of the skins working for my FMT20 on the ipad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Thatcher Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Hey guys, Any word on the update or files? Trying to download logos for FM2020 Touch but feel pretty o overwhelmed and confused by the different instructions, updates and downloads that I need. Is there a sticky on this thread or a specific post which is the most relevent? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THFourteen Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 OK - this is how I get it working on my iPad. Delete the whole app (backup your save to Steam first of course!) Install the app, and launch the game, wait for the circles to disappear and hit the main menu. Quit the game, and close it out from RAM using multitasking. Download the tablet skins to your PC. Create a skins folder on your PC which should have all the subfolders for the skins in it (not just the single one you want). Connect your iPad to iTunes on your PC. Go to file sharing and drag and drop the whole skins folder onto the FM Touch 2020 directory. Launch the game, and go into preferences you should now see the skins there.

I can confirm that this skin file works perfectly well with the FM Touch 20 (iOS) version. As others have mentioned, save the tablet folders in a folder called skin and save it inside FMT main route folder. Connect to iTunes / file share and hit add file/folder. Make sure that all of your graphics folders are loaded in (to utilise the player and staff pics/logos and kits). Then also add your skin folder and sync. Turn on iPad when ready, go to preferences (in-game) and hit clear cache. Also go onto the skin drop down menu and you should see FMT - Touchscreen - Dark and also FMT - Touchscreen - Dark (with background). Select the one you want and then hit confirm. Log all of the way out and then boot it back up again. Thanks for all of your work GavinG great bit of work.
