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"

Hi! Have you downloaded the last version of the skin? Have you restore your original files before replace the files of the skin? Have you try to click for example and tactics to change the view and back to that one? I think is a problem with the game…let me know 🙂
aird
I have the latest version, yes but I didn't redownload the original files.
Unfortunately I'm playing a Norway save so I'm currently on a 3mths pre-season, so no matches to test on for a while
budwaiser4
Try to restore the original files and put again the files of the skin on it..remember that when you restore file from Steam you must replace also other mod if you installed it like the no-fake
aird
Will do.
Try again tomorrow, thanks for the replies. Keep up the good work.

Hello,
Thank you for the work.
Is there any way to change the background pictures to which we prefer? (I have high resolution pic from another stadium as jpeg, etc.) Can I use those with your skin, and how?
Thanks
Nolan De sousa
on doit la remplacer par quel fichier précisément ?
budwaiser4
Hi unfortunately you can't change the bg..if you pass me your bg i see what i can i do..the bg must be in 4k
budwaiser4
What do you mean? Can you translate?
Phille023
Hi, big fan of your skins. Had these also for FM24 and now FM26. I was wondering how you changed the colour of the players stats? I'm used to changing them myself but FM26 doesn't allow you to do it anymore so I would like to learn to change it myself. I want to give them the colour stat i'm used to in FM, that is my main gripe about this game.
Onur Tufan
Oh thank you in advance!
Yet, I don't want to exhaust you, so let me ask beforehand; my background pictures are less than 4K generally, but I can find few. So, If I send you 10 pictures, will one of them be pinned in all club backgrounds? and another will be used in eg. champions league? Will you do something like that, or can it be changed according to the club database IDs like it used to do?
Thanks!
budwaiser4
No, it's possible only have one default bg and one bg for some competition like Champions, Europa League, Super Cup, Conference League, Premier, Championship, League one, League two and Bundesliga.
budwaiser4
Send me in PM the color you want for low, normal, good and excellent attributes and i provide you a file to replace
Onur Tufan
Hmm. Then, if I use this skin, how can I change the background pictures, what should be the file format and how? Because the skin is very good thanks, but I get bored from same background time to time.
edit: I found later: https://github.com/SeriousCache/UABE/releases is this enough to use this to make background bundles to use along with your skin?
James Whittemore
Does this include the stadium in the background? Because I dont have it.
budwaiser4
You can add the bg on the various competition i told before and default bg (you can also change bg for example of press conference etc)
Follow this video

budwaiser4
The skin have always the stadium bg..have you manage in english division like Premier, Championship etc?
If the answer is yes you must download this file to can use the default bg stadium everywhere and replace in installation path

v0.7
- Fixed everything after update break all
- Removed, for now, colors of number sub in the prematch pitch (i need find a way to restore it because they change the code of that files)
Before installing this version restore the original files if you have installed the previous version because one file is missed compared to 0.6.1

ciao a tutti ragazzi, qualcuno mi puo inviare i file predefiniti della skin inziale del gioco? non riesco piu a tornare indietro e il gioco con la material skin mi crasha…
HarryWright27
I'm getting the page not found problem - even when I click on the file links you have been providing to other people. Any idea how to solve this? Thanks!
ArtjomBavaria
I love this skin, but in some situations - like in meetings with players, board etc it's hard to read the text because of the colours of the text and background.
James Whittemore
budwaiser4
Ripristina i file originali andando su Steam, tasto destro sul gioco → proprietà → file installati → verifica integrita file del gioco…poi se vuoi scarica di nuovo la versione della skin che non ti dovrebbe crashare più
budwaiser4
It was a mediafire problem, now it works
budwaiser4
Can you send me a screenshot? So in the next update i'll check if i can improve it
budwaiser4
Mediafire i thinks was down, now it works
HarryWright27
Still getting the same message unfortunately
budwaiser4

What does it means ‘Fixed press conference journalist’?
Only one journalist appears at the conference in the game. That's the problem, is this a bug?
budwaiser4
No, that is not the bug..the bug was that dont show anyone of the journalist..only the empty tiles
