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

To edit the fonts its just a case of changing the various variables declared in the xml 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 xml files to match your new font.

For the base skins I have included all the default font files to save you having to go look for them. The font settings are now controlled by the various files located inside the fonts folder. To get the 2D pitch icons (balls, nets, players) into the game they no longer need to go into the skins folder and can instead now be installed directly into the graphics folder. If you need further help on editing the transparency of the images then have a look at this guide - its for FM2015 but the editing of the graphics is the same. The level of transparency depends on your preference as it is a balance between seeing the background and making the skin readable. Inside the Base skin that you have downloaded you need to browse to these two locations:Īnd edit the paper.png file from each folder in an image editing program to increase the transparency of the image. (You can do the same with the Default Base Skin aswell if the backgrounds aren't clear enough by default). Inside will be a paper.xml file open that and locate this line:įM2017 has made a slight change to this, as the default graphic file used to blur the screen has been made darker, so if when you disable the blurring the background content still isn't clear enough, all you need to do is look in the above folder and rename the two graphic files from !paper to paper, and then reload the skin and the background content should now be clearer.įM2017 again supports background changes directly this year, however if you are using the Dark or Light Base skins there is a file you need to edit as they have a solid overlay over the background meaning that whilst the background is displaying you cannot see it.

How To Stop the Blurring Effect when ProcessingįM2016 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 location within the Base Skin you are using: If the skin cache is on you'll need to turn it off, exit the Preferences menu and re-enter it and any new skins should appear, if not tick 'Always Reload Skin on Confirm' and change skins, click confirm and go back in and your skin should appear. 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.įor Football Manager 2017 you have three skins to choose from the Default (Greenish) with Background Support skin, the Light skin and the Dark skin.īase2017 Skin - This is the Greenish Background Support skin and is based on the Default Football Manager Skin.īase2017 Dark Skin - This is the Dark Base Skin and is based on the Football Manager Dark Skin.īase2017 Light Skin - This is the Light Base Skin and is based on the Football Manager Light Skin.
