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. πŸ™‚

 

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. πŸ™‚

 

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!

Actually, there is one thing but I'm not sure is the skin or the game. Those β€˜number#2’ I don't think are supposed to be there

For MAC users i release a new version, let me know if now works, download the skin again to test and restore your original files before to insert it

 

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

 

Everything working great on Mac. Thank you. Amazing work.

Nice skin, but one question.. 

Do you have plans to change the too big pictures in the staff profiles? And also the emptiness in the screen of the own coach? 

See here:

Hi Budwaiser, first of all many thanks for your skin, i like it very much. One thing i recognized is the missing table with the agent offers on the last day of transfer on the portal side. Is this wanted? Mow to my core question: i want to try changing some colors via fm skin builder, esp the blue-green segments into a blue like in the club crest of Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga. In which asset i have to change? Pls can u short explain if i had to make changes in only one asset or are there multiple changes necessary?

Sorry for my bad english, not my native language. Best greetings

It's strange that the agent offers not work, i don't touch that part.
For changing colors the color are mainly in the ui_default-asset and ui_common-assets

SI just released an emergency hotfix for 26.2. Will this affect the skin? Also, I’m really looking forward to your release today! I think your skin has the best and most beautiful colors among all skins.

I've noticed that the recent performance of players from other teams is not impressive.

 

Thank you!

In the players of other team I believe that the various boxes are displayed depending on the level of observation of the player. If you don't have enough data of a specific box, the box won't be visible.

Unfortunately the panels for the player is 1 and it's the same for players on your team and players on other teams

Hi a guy test for me in Mac and works..have you tried to restore the files of Steam before copying the file of my skin?

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
