I get lots of request recently asking about skins for Football Manager 2008. Frankly, I don’t really dislike the default skin in the existing game after a while because I have gotten used to the color and interface. But then again, I could do with a change because I am always seeking new stuff. Skins take longer to create because it requires designing so there aren’t really much to begin with at the present moment that looks nice and is easy to use.
BlueStone for FM 8.0.1 by ~boogiesbc
This is for those who love blue themes.
Download | Mirror
Black-in 2 v1.3 - Mirror 1 | Mirror 2
I love the dark background and it looks great. The attribute colors are brightly colored to show the obvious difference.
Ensure that all extracted files go to C:\Documents and Settings\”username”\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\skins.
thanx very much……thats really great skin…..
Where do i download the skin?
where can i downlad the skin
links are in the post, check carefully…
here you can download it: http://d.turboupload.com/de/2158918/upyj0altwp.html
i downloaded the skin bt cant get it too work its still the old skin that shows when i load the game. can any1 help???
scottty, did you extract it exactly to
C:\Documents and Settings\”username”\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\skins
if you didn’t, it won’t show up. u then have to manually change the skin in preferences after you load fm 2008.
I love the look of this skin and would love to use it, but unfortunately that CRAP site that is being used to host this file is not letting me download, it comes up as page not displayed.
Please use a 2nd mirror and PLEASE PLEASE host the file at a good free site like FileFactory…please dont use crap waste of time sites like RAPIDSHARE as thats the same SHIT site as Turbofile or whatever it is…
anyway looking forward to downloading the skin…..cheers.
dave, i have updated the post with new mirrors, shld work fine now!

Fortunately there’s a nice screenshot viewer of a few screenshots of Bluestone here, feel free to hotlink them for your readers
Oh, also forget to mention, here’s another mirror for your collection if you’d like it (this is for bluestone)
thank you so much!
doesnt work anymore the links?
DANNY, all links work as of now.
mymmatch day screen has wierd pixels any help please to get it back to normal
i did what you said, my friend has a skin and he said the folder skins was made for him, but it wasnt for me. i made it and did the above but i still come up with default skin. heeelp? ;(
besides doing the folder creation, you have to manually change the skin in the preferences after loading the game.
how do i do that? i canot find it under skins, once i clikc reload skin, i go back to perefences, and the only skin there is “fm 08″ and fm 08 right”
help
first, are you absolutely sure your downloaded skins are extracted to
C:\Documents and Settings\”username”\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\skins
reece, i am not sure what happened, does it happen with the default fm skin?
yeah smurf I am.
i dont have te patch tho,
if that makes ny difference?
the patch shouldn’t make a difference. try this, why don’t u screenshot your folder and i see if there’s anything wrong with the structure…
i have recently changed skins, but still does not work, how do i upload a screenie on here?
@Kingo, you could do a print screen, paste it in photoshop or ms paint, upload it to picoodle.com and paste the link here.
ive tried it with other people, on forums. but i think my fms jsut gay
thanks for oyur help tho man
something, just one step u might have missed out on i guess. hope u will get it right somehow but the default skin doesn’t fare too badly.
yer nice skin it will take a bit gettin use 2 it bu its gd nice 1
IT’S A GOOD
YOOO SEMUA MAIN FOOTBALL MANAGER
Don’t you think that the download link for Bluestone should be this one -> http://www.boogiesbc.ro/bsfm.html ?
… apreciate the author’s effort
@boogiesbc, thanks for the information that the author has gotten his own domain!
no problem. but it would be nice to use this download mirror -> http://www.boogiesbc.ro/downloads/bluestone801.rar
does this work with 8.0.2??
@shearer, yes it does, version updates does not affect skin changes.
hi i downloaded one of ya skins but now my match day pitch is black piczels every where please help
@recce, hmmm, that’s weird. try changing to another skin to see if it works. if not, reinstall the game. ur data will remain but backup just in case.
Erm hi i have reinstalled the game and changed skin still no progress i put the skin on the wrong patch and it been like that since please help beacuse the pitch just looks awful
@recce, ok try this, install the game to a different directory, start the game from there and ensure everything runs fine. if so, then move your data over to the new folder. try this.
What do you mean directory ?
Directory Coolsmurf??
@recce, folder=directory
ok so when the game is dowloading and it comes up with where to instal it i will just put it somewhere else kk
hmm…i confused about how to download the skin of FM o8..

I was just wondering if you know why this is happening and how to sort it out.
Ive even tried using different skins but its doing the same with them too
@carl, all the skins? now that’s weird…try re-installing, and load one new skin to see what happens.
Could Someone Take Me Through It Step By Step wb Asap
@josh, Sports Interactive have very kindly created a ’skins’ folder in “My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2008″ ready for you, so just extract a skin you’ve downloaded into that folder and then go to the ‘display and sound’ tab in preferences and use the drop down box to select which skin you wish to use.
Yeah, thanks very much Alvin. Nice entry

Hello.
Downloaded the Black-in 2 v1.3 skin.
Skin works properly, but i have found an additional panel inside the zip, with possibly useful information.
Id like to try it, i just dont know how to use, where to copy it.
It says, just “Simply copy the files into steklo\panels, and relaod the skin.”
Where should i find these steklo/panels ???
Havent find anywhere.
Please if someone using it and know how to do it, help me out wid this…
Thanks in advance.
-cheers-
im having trouble..
do you need to use like a particular program to extract the file, or what?
Yeppers
WinRar for example
Then just copy the files and folders you got after extraction to the folders you can read above…
Cheers
thanks, i’ll be waiting for a new skin. oding aminudin
