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"

 

Thanks to Darkside for the default skin and to all the other mods for their contributions to the community!

The crash happens only if you click on the player's profile? Or you have crash also in other part of the skin? This morning i upload another version of the skin, you download it?

 

Yes, I’ve downloaded the skin several times, the last time about an hour ago.

It keeps giving me that crash issue when I open a player’s profile.


 

I haven’t checked other screens to see whether they work or not.

If needed, I can run a quick check.

The skin is very beautiful and useful; I like almost everything about it! Thank you so much for the work you've done.

I'd like to know if there's any way to make the height display panel available by default, instead of the octagon. If so, how can this be done? Thank you in advance.

Thank you so much for the quick help! Do you mean checking the game data for errors? What exactly will be lost in the process? Will I have to re-add all my mods? Probably the ones that are directly in the installation directory, right? The editor data will remain intact?

Hi, It's not entirely low-res but in my opinion many panels could look good even on small screens

You are and absolute legend and this is the best skin for FM26. Unfortunately v2.0.1 is not working properly on Mac. It crashes the game when you confirm your team to go to a match. Never had any crashes before and I have been using various versions of the skin in the last 2 months. I have restored back to original skin and problem solved. Don't know how to help you and not sure if happens to everybody on Mac. Thank you for your amazing work

Hi guys i'm checking why no works in mac, really apologize trying to fix asap

For Windows player i check personally and it works perfectly to me so try this: 
On Steam, right-clicking on the game -> properties -> installed files -> and clicking the "verify integrity of game files" button. This will restore all the original game files. After that, re-insert the skin files and any other mods you used, such as no-fake

Your skin is gorgeous, I love your colors. I find the section dedicated to news too small and poorly placed, but that's just a personal preference.
