Hi all, just wondering if anyone can produce a skin based on the mighty West Ham. I'm looking at stadium backgrounds on most or all screens (can be the same picture) and a claret and blue text theme for the tiles. Not sure how much work is involved. I did give it a go with changing the fm_skin file to a stadium background. It seemed to work initially but when I loaded the game after a few times it had gone so I must have done something wrong. I'm not tech savvy so this is most likely user error.

If this is too much work, are there any tutorials to help for idiots like me?

Sorted the background on the main screen, looks like the latest update had removed it. Just not sure what other files I need to update to make all the background pictures appear, and as for the colors on the tiles. Watched a few videos and looks a little out of my comfort zone.

I have made a few changes but still plenty to go and more I need to learn before its polished.

I have attached the 2 files to replace in the StandaloneWindows64 folder

this looks great so far well done. Not sure what I've done but I cannot get my background to work anymore. Tried several times to re-do it. Even reset the graphics back to basic and tried but no joy.

Try clearing the FM cache and reloading the skin (Preferences → Interface → Clear Cache, then Reload Skin). Also double-check the background image path and filename haven’t changed after updates. Updates often overwrite files, so re-applying the edited bundles after each update usually fixes it.

Thanks @Brawl Cbr but this is FM26 no 24. There is no reloading of the skin available

Latest update with quite a few changes to UI colours.

If anything seems off let me know and please remember I have never done this before.

Sorry I cant help with the background issue. Not something I have looked into.
