I'm in no way and expert on the new way to create skins. I've been playing about creating a background for the majority of tabs on FM26. I've not played with the pop up boxes and colour changes yet I've only just done the backgrounds. Done these for West Ham and Marseille. I've used the same image but you get the idea. It just adds a little extra to the game. Unfortunately, in order to change the background you have to alter the file in the right folder so if you have a few saves on the go you would need to amend every time. What's your thoughts?

This is the Brechin file, follow the below path to locate the folder. Find the file with the same name and make a copy of it just in case you want to change it back. You will need to quit out of the game while you do this, then reload.

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 26\fm_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64

 

Original file name - ui-backgrounds_assets_common.bundle

 

Once you've made a copy of the original, copy and paste the attached file over writing the original. Start the game

Here is the SC Farnese one, follow the above, you won't need to make a copy of the original just replace the Brechin file.

 

Hope you're happy with these.

Yeah it's not a big change like some of the themes some have put together but it's just a little something the personalises the game in my opinion. Glad you like them thanks mate

This should be possible (not perfectly, but majorly) already with Skin Builder…

Is there an easy guide for creating, or You Tube video. I've looked at your skins you've created and got as far as naming my skin and setting up folders. All looks confusing TBF. Also says on the website  The schema_version must be 2.

 

 I'm unable to see how to change this. Looks like yours are version 1.

 

Any further help would be awesome please mate

Example 2,

 

See above comment on how to install. Close down the game whilst updating the file and I would make a backup of the original file in case you want to revert back. File name is the same as the attachment ui-backgrounds_assets_common.bundle
