[FM23][SKIN] Mustermann 23 v2.07 - Updated 04/02/23

Download v2.07: Light Version/Dark Version

Mustermann23 - v2.07 OUT NOW!!!
A light skin taking a radical approach to the way Football Manager can be played. Overview pages have been overhauled with a sparse UI, prioritising key information and reducing clutter, whilst the new analytic stats added in this year's edition are given prominence on the player profile to help those who like to take a "Moneyball" approach to their careers.

The skin aims to add a different challenge, and is built around the idea of graphical attributes - with numbers replaced by images to indicate if a player is Excellent, Good, Average or Poor in a specific area. Using the definitions provided in-game, you can change the thresholds for each definition via "Skin Colours" in preferences. There is still a regular numerical attribute version for those not quite ready to make that leap.

Major Features

Grouped by training area, attributes are contextualised with the practical areas they impact
Strong prominence to performance data and statistics, with an easy toggle between Total and Per 90 metrics
Snapshot buttons on the Home Page, giving you the headline information and deep links to the relevant pages
Staff profile overhauled, focussing on tactical preferences and the roles they are open to
Expanded Data Hub Summary & Next Opponent Overview
"Website-style" design for Club Info, Social Media and News pages
(High-Res Only) Change your tactics and training schedules from the Home Page

Resolutions
Minimum:1360x768 (Full Screen Mode, 100% Zoom)

The skin is adaptive, with different layouts for different resolutions, all within the same skin. The design philosophy remains throughout, with a sparse UI prioritising key information and reducing clutter. Sometimes you might need to scroll.

Versions
Each download contains two versions:

Graphical - colour coded boxes representing Excellent, Good, Average & Awful - the colours and attribute ranges can be adjusted via Preferences -> Skin Colours
Numerical - standard attributes, numbered 1-20

There are now alternative colour themes available. You will need to copy the settings file for the colour theme you want fromAlternative settings fileinto [skin name]/settingsand rename the file to replace the current one. For example, if using Mustermann Numerical, you will rename the file Mustermann Numerical settings.

There are no current plans for a Club Colours version.

FAQs

How do I change attribute ranges in Graphical versions?
You will need to edit classes/attribute_bar.xml. Each range is defined as a min_value and max_value. Edit these values to set the range you want, save the file, and reload the skin.

How do I change attribute range colours in Graphical versions?
You will need to edit settings/[skin name] settings.xml. Search for "low attribute" and you will find a list of the colours used for each range. These can be defined by naming a colour that appears earlier in the file (for example, "analyser4" has already been defined) or by adding a rgb value using the following format: rgb(#,#,#). Once set, save the file, and reload the skin.

How do I add Instant Result button to the skin?
Take a look at the fabulous guide by @Jellico73here:

What do the overlays on the Per 90 Statistics mean?
A sample size of 13,500 players across the Top 20 leagues (by reputation) have been used to identify the following thresholds. High is 90th percentile for the role that excels most in that area, Low is 25th percentile for the role that performs worst in that area.

This is represented as below:

Elite

Above Average

Below Average

Poor

Can I change the ranges used for the Per90 overlays?
You can, by editing the stats files in the classes folder. Each stat for each position has it's own file, and follows a simple naming convention: stat_[position group]_[metric name]. Editing these files is the same as for the images for the attribute ranges mentioned above.

Bugs/Future Requests
If you notice any bugs/issues, please do get in touch, and I will see if they can be resolved. One of the biggest challenges with light skins is identifying all instances of white text and finding a way to either change it, or put an appropriate background behind it. I expect there will be some instances that I've missed, so please let me know!

Similarly, if you have any requests for future features, please let me know, although for full transparency I have no intention of adding any information pertaining to hidden information (CA/PA etc...)

I will add any known issues and requests below, and update with status where possible:

I've added some custom text to some pages which cannot be translated - none of the text is important (it doesn't provide useful information, just adds to the aesthetic) (no fix)

Future Plans
Additional options for Home Page.

Usage Rights

This skin is completely free for personal use, but may not be sold or placed behind a paywall. If you plan on using the skin publicly, or repurposing a unique element for own skin, please provide credit and a link to this post. If, for whatever reason, you are so enamoured with this skin you want to send me a coffee, feel free to donate via PayPal. I would like to stress there is no obligation whatsoever!
