Heres a guide I wrote for FM06... the templates have all changed in FM07.... but the technique is still the same :) Quote:

As you probably have seen that I have done a previous guide to this on skinning using Paint Shop Pro and since a lot of people use Adobe products I took the time to learn how to use PhotoShop and write this guide.
If you do have any questions please come to www.fmformation.net and in the Guides Section you will see a thread about this guide. Please leave all questions in there!! I shall answer them as soon as I can!
If you wish to have this guide in your forum PLEASE ask as I do like to know where it is being copied and read as I can then give the best help possible!!!
Why this guide differs from others? It’s simple in the fact I write it with little knowledge of Photoshop and everything is simple to read and understand and I also see, as a beginner, that templates are also the easiest thing to use and understand. I shall also aim to point out where every piece of graphics are stored and used in the game. Then at the end of this guide I shall explain simple colouring and how to make the changed image save correctly and appear into your FM game.
I shall be dealing with the default graphics directory within FM. Then you will be able to move these files to a separate folder to create your own skin as we work through the guide.
This guide will be updated for every section of the game I write so it will have many sections such as “Skinning the Title Bar and “Skinning the Tree Table” and many others.
Please make a backup of C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2006\data\graphics by right clicking on the folder GRAPHICS and then selecting COPY. If you are using Windows XP then click in a blank section of the screen and select PASTE. This will create a new folder called “Copy Of Graphics”
This is all my own works so please do NOT try and pass this off as you have done this cause I do know that some people try and take credit for others work. This is a copywritten FAQ!
Now Let’s Begin!
Index:
Part 1 – Skinning the Tree Table
Part 2 – Skinning the Dialog Box
Part 3 - Skinning the Info Bar
Part 4 – Skinning the Background
Part 5 – Skinning the Buttons
Part 6 – Skinning the Side Buttons
Part 7 - Skinning the Match Title Section 1
Part 8 - Skinning the Match Title Section 2
Part - Colouring Your Template
Part - Cutting Templates and Making New Image
Part - Setting Opacity
Part - Saving Changed Image
I have created a lot of templates in the rar file which are not covered in this guide YET.
I will get around to writing this all up and what the exact templates cover in FM but for now this is a good start on what to look for and how to do it!!
So more templates and more written sections to follow!!!! |

Thanks for this. With a guide to skinning I think we will see loads of new skins pop up from the community. Just one question though. Do we have to edit the templates at all? Or can we leave them the same and just ignore anything you say about templates in the guide?
Thanks
