Due to the release of the Steklo skin for FM14 i've decided to start these up after a few years away. The idea of my backgrounds is to just add a simple bit of colour to your screens whilst still enabling the in game text to be read as clearly as possible. So please don't moan about the style as i will not be changing it!

These are for team screens only.

Yeah no problem, i won't be making these as quickly as i used to due to time etc, but will slowly build them up.

Also, if any do not show at first try deleting your cache in preferences then reloading the skin.

MLS added to first post, for some reason Houston and another (which i can't bloody remember) are not showing. Everything appears to be correct so if anyone knows the problem let us know!

Firstly thanks for these they look amazing.

I am also having the problem with Houston & I've got Philadelphia not working (not good when you are managing them!) It is really weird though because before I had D.C United not working but Houston & Philadelphia were. It's really frustrating.

Also had a few backgrounds not working in the England League One & Two backgrounds.

Yeah i believe there are a few, ive really no idea what it is as the ID numbers should all match in the config files which should of course allow the pics to show! Hopefully someone has a fix or simply knows what the problem is.

Yeah I spent 15 mins going through all the ID numbers checking them all. Found out that they were all right and they still wouldn't show up!!!

Sorry, don't know how i missed that.

I'm still not too sure what the problem exactly is but it just seems that certain pics won't show but changing them to .PNG works fine. I'm guessing its a problem with the way they saved to my pc as JPG's but future packs should all be working fine now i know.

Thanks for this. So in theory if i make a copy of your backgrounds and change the ones that aren't working to a .png then they should start showing up?

EDIT: What is the next pack that you are thinking of doing?

The League 1 & 2 packs were a mess, there an older pack that i made a long time ago so some of the stadiums were not even in the packs and the configs needed re-doing too. It's probably better and a lot easier to just get the newer ones.

I'm currently doing the non league English leagues (Skrill Prem, North/South) then not sure after that.

Once downloaded, double click on the file and it will open. Drag the folder inside to here C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2014\graphics\backgrounds you may need to make the backgrounds folder yourself. Once that is done go to ingame preferences>interface and click on clear cache then reload skin and the pictures should show when your game loads back up.

These are amazing. Great work as ever.

Luton is showing up fine on mine. These are the lines that I have got in the config:

<record from="677" to="graphics/pictures/team/677/background"/>
<record from="677" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/677/background"/>

Don't know if they will help

That would be great mate but just two things, could you only find pics that are large and good quality (bigger the better) and also could you name each pic either the correct id or name them after the team that plays there, thanks.
