Rensie Custom Low Res Skin for FM21
I still remember the days when I had my old small laptop with only 11′ display and a very small resolution. It was not easy to play the Football Manager on it. The more I’m enjoying now the fact I have a very good laptop with a classic 1920×1080 resolution. But I also have one small laptop, mainly for my travelling and working away from home when it’s needed. And allowed as well in the current COVID-19 time. It led to the situation I decided to make and share my work with all of you who have the low resolution = FM21 Rensie Purple & Dark skins Low Resolution.
The main point of this is that I took my favourite parts of the “classic” FM21 skin version and I optimised all of them to a smaller size.
It was made on the laptop with the 1366×768 resolution and 100% zoom option.
Same as the big version of the skin, the settings are from the Base skins made by michaeltmurrayuk.
That also means both skins have the background support thanks to Michael and you can use the player/club/competitions etc. background images. Just reduce/increase the opacity, as you can see how to do it here. The main edits contain player overview screen, club overview and player popup profile (the one when you hover over the “i” icon).
Main edited things
As you can see in the list below, most of the things from the original skin are the same. Some of them worked without big edits. Some of them were just resized or the widgets were slightly moved up or down.
Player Overview
Club Profile
Player Popup
Player comparison
Stadium profile
Club Overview
Non-player popup profile – edited the height of the staff profile picture to ensure it fits the details panel
Team/Squad Depth screen made horizontal instead of vertical
Schedule screen without the white background + fixture details on the right side is wider with the more info
Past meetings screen improved – the right side width increased, the info is the same as in the schedule screen
Player pictures in the tactics screen
Add player within the Mentoring screen height adjusted to fit properly
Instant result
Team of the Week pitch in the mailbox size increased – example
The kits widget size in the national team General/Overview screen increased – example
If I would be forced to use the laptop with a low resolution, what can happen whenever my high-end laptop will not work, I would be more than happy to use this custom skin. It offers the most of the things I like to use within FM skin.
We are all different and maybe you won’t like it. That’s a normal thing. I just wanted to share it with you as I would be happy to have another option along the default skin or other low resolution skins.
*If you want to see nations flags in the player overview instead of the nations associations logos, don’t use the association’s logos within your logo packs.
** I didn’t edit the match panels/match in-between highlights panels. As you know, the match UI was changed for the FM21 and it would surely deserve some edit to avoid too many useless rooms of space but I don’t have enough time for it. Be sure to check SI Forum for the possible match screen mods or other skins if someone other will make it.

Gaz / FMwkdsoul for his idea of the selector in the player overview screen as I saw it in screens from his skins on Twitter and decided to make it by myself.
FMEnhanced as I took the Instant Result option from his v2.0 version.
