The Material Skin is ready for you again this year!
It's based on the colors of the skin created for previous editions of the game, with the addition of a couple of custom backgrounds. For now, this version is based on the game still in beta, so there may be structural issues unrelated to the skin.
I hope you like it, and if you'd like to support my work, I'd be very grateful. 🙂
If you'd like information on how to change any colors, DM me and I'll try to help you as much as I can. 🙂
Cheers
To use the default attribute colors go to preferences -> details -> audio and video and choose preset 3 on "player attributes"

Nice work !! It's working, woderfull, can we ajust attritube colors ?
budwaiser4
There is a Korean tool that allows you to change the attribute values ​​quite easily. Unfortunately, you can't do it from the skin. If you need it, write me in dm
e1twat0
Thanks buddy
Jouss948
I try with this page : https://sortitoutsi.net/tools/attribute-colors
But it overwrite some of change, like the background.
I cannot send you a dm. So is it possible to have the ui-styles_assets_default.bundle with this values : (1-5) #ffe49e (11-15) #8fb57d (16-20) #ffff00 ? (If you can send me a PM)
tonidopa
Really cool, thank you. For people that don't see the backgrounds upon installing: you have to start a new game.

There is a fps problem. Normally it was 120 fps, but after the theme it became 30-40 in the game.
budwaiser4
You mean during the match or navigating between panels?
4ksoy
during the match my friend
budwaiser4
Not have this problem sincererly..look this video I recorded now
It's really strange, try to remove the file and insert again in the folder
4ksoy
I don't understand, you're right too. It doesn't appear to be there either. But when I open the game, it's 240 fps, and when I load the game, it's 60 fps, then it's 30-40 fps in-game. Maybe it's just me, I don't know. I'll try uploading the file again.
arildbs
I see the new background in the startup window but once I open the game, I still have the old background. Anyone know what I can do to change this?
budwaiser4
What do you mean? Can you provide me a couple of screenshot?
budwaiser4
I don't know sincererly, also because i change only color and upload 2 background, it's really strange that performance plummets..Let me know and we'll do some tests if necessary
4ksoy
I reinstalled it and the FPS increased, but I think adding the beta and background decreased the FPS compared to normal. I think this is normal. After reinstalling it, the in-game FPS started to show 70-80.
budwaiser4
If it's not a problem for you, I'd say we monitor the situation until the final game is released and then we'll see if we can do something... ok? 🙂
4ksoy
Of course, good night 🙂

I'm also having an issue. In a match, between highlights its freezing a few times a game.
arildbs
I have the weird red background that comes with the game. I have a 49" widescreen btw.
budwaiser4
Never happened before? It's strange because i don't touch the structure of the game but only the colour…try to remove file and insert again
budwaiser4
Yes this year there are dynamic background for certain competition..if you dont want download this and insert in the same path and replace when ask
https://www.mediafire.com/file/uhsry47yivlen3m/bg-default.rar/file
budwaiser4
IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO USE THE DYNAMIC BACKGROUNDS THAT ARE USED IN SOME COMPETITIONS SUCH AS CHAMPIONS, EUROPA LEAUGE, CONFERENCE, PREMIER, CHAMPIONSHIP, LEAGUE ONE DOWNLOAD AND UNZIP THIS FILE AND INSERT IT IN THE SAME PATH REPLACING THE EXISTING FILES
https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/lfpu4zfon2wuhrj/bg-default.rar/file
Sorry for the caps 🙂
arildbs
I installed the two files in the download, but I still only see the beautiful stadium background in the loading screen to the game but once I'm in my save, I only see the weird red background in the picture earlier. I would like to replace the standard background in the game with the stadium picture instead of the red one.
budwaiser4
Try this

Hi I think that using this tool reset the file asset_default to the default values because a person has change the attributes value but it no longer has the changes I made of the colour on the skin..can you check it?
arildbs
I changed the attribute colours but the continue button etc is still green and not purple.
budwaiser4
Yes but change other things like for example if you compare the screenshot posted here of the tactics screen and you will notice some differences
