Skin in the Navy Blue color scheme. Optimized several vanilla screens to suit my needs. Changed fonts and backgrounds
The concept is based on displaying the most important team management elements on the portal screen
Note! If you want to use the default colour scheme, just do not copy ui-styles_assets_default.bundle from the archive or replace it with the original file if you have already copied it into the bundles folder

How to install
Open your Football Manager installation directory.
WIndows:
\Football Manager 26\fm_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64\
MacOS:
/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 26/fm.app/Contents/Resources/Data/StreamingAssets/aa/StandaloneOSX
Locate the original files in the game's data folder and make a backup copy before proceeding.
Copy and paste the files into the game directory. When asked, choose to overwrite/replace the existing files.

Is is possible to use on macOS?
AnSeOs
Unfortunately, I don't have the opportunity to test the skin on macOS. It is possible that some bundles will cause errors due to incompatibility.
I would appreciate it if someone could check the skin for compatibility on macOS.
The two most important files in the skin are ui-tileslayouts_assets_all.bundle and ui-styles_assets_common.bundle.
These files contain the tile layout and color scheme. If the FM works with these files, then you can try adding the rest of the skin files one by one in the following order:
ui-backgrounds_assets_common
ui-mainmenu-assets_assets_all
ui-styles_assets_default
ui-tiles_assets_all
ui-widgets_assets_all
ui-fonts_assets_production
Path for files on macOS:
/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 26/fm.app/Contents/Resources/Data/StreamingAssets/aa/StandaloneOSX

love the look of this unfortunately neither the original nor the update work with mac both crash with same reason the top bar just reads “item” soon as this is clicked on it crashes see attachment. i'm happy to try help or test. i also tried loading via skinbuilder but failed to build but i am not familiar with using this
AnSeOs
Thanks for the info. Have you tried installing only the ui-tileslayouts_assets_all.bundle and ui-styles_assets_common.bundle files? If not, try copying only these two files to the original files folder and see if the game works. Please let me know the results
clarkiebaby
managed to install most bundles and working well but still not looking like the full version only 1 bundle that crashes it thats ui-widgets_assets_all. not sure where to go from here

A very nice skin, great job, @AnSeOs, just spent a couple of in-game weeks with it, and it's very good. The player profile tiles are perfect.
Maybe I will change the background image to something darker if I find a way how to do it 🙂
AnSeOs
Thanks for the feedback! Backgrounds can be replaced using Skinbuilder using the script in the archive. But you have to change the text in the mapping.json file to the one above in the post under the spoiler cause i add in archive file with syntaxis mistake 🙂
FM Rensie
I tried, but I haven't had luck so far. It always displays this error, even after I change the text. Will try again.
AnSeOs
Can you send logs in dm?
quiix
I tried to change the backgrounds, but i get errors
AnSeOs
It’s not errors. What do you see in the logs after completing the process?
AnSeOs
Oh! I see in the mapping.json file the code with the error I mentioned. It should look like this:
{
"background 3840x2160.png": ["fm-skin-v2", "efl-bst-skin", "efl-championship-skin", "efl-league-cup-skin", "efl-league-one-skin", "efl-league-two-skin", "fm-bundesliga-skin-min", "fm-conference-league-skin-min", "fm-europa-league-skin-min", "fm-super-cup-skin-min", "pl-premier-league-skin", "premier_league_skin_fm26"],
"background_mainmenu 3840x2160.png": "start_screen_main_texture",
"background caution screen 1920x1080.png": "dynamic-pattern-dark-texture"
}
quiix
it`s sorted now, thanks

How difficult would it be be to apply your tiles and widgets to the default color scheme? Is it that hard?
AnSeOs
Not difficult at all. If you want only to apply my layout to the default color scheme, take only the ui-tiles-assets and ui-tiles-layouts from the archive
quiix
I really like your skin, it looks really clean.
Would it be possible to add the attribute polygon to the Player Profile screen, in the Performance Data area on the right?
I think it would fit really well there and give a quick visual overview of the player.
Thanks again for the awesome skin!
AnSeOs
Thanks for your feedback! I'll not promise that, but I'll think about doing this
neves14
You're a true legend! Worked like a charm
StuartNG
Any chance of an update mate of your skin when you get a chance? Best skin out there. Cheers
AnSeOs
Hi! It looks like in the new update devs rewrote parts of UI code and that causes issues with modifying interface layout. No skins work properly now. skinners community is seeking a solution
StuartNG
Thanks for the response pal.
Marcin Szalkiewicz
When will there be a fix after the FM26 update? I really like this skin. It's the best. Is there any progress on the fix yet?
AnSeOs
Unfortunately, interface modding tools suddenly became incompatible with FM after the new update due to UI code changes by devs. I'll start working to update my skin to the new version as soon as there is a technical possibility to modify the new version of FM interface
Marcin Szalkiewicz
I hope you fix this soon because I don't want to play without this skin. Great job. Keep it up. Thanks for the reply.

Hi everyone, I wanted to start by thanking everyone who dedicates their time to improving FM26. I'd like to know exactly where the skin files need to be placed for them to work in FM26, as I don't think they just need to be put in a single folder called "skins". Could someone please make a post showing the correct folder path for the skins to function in FM26? I apologize for my limited English. A big THANK YOU to everyone! 😉
AnSeOs
Hi! Open your Football Manager installation directory.
WIndows:
\Football Manager 26\fm_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64\
MacOS:
/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 26/fm.app/Contents/Resources/Data/StreamingAssets/aa/StandaloneOSX
Locate the original files in the game's data folder and make a backup copy before proceeding.
Copy and paste the files into the game directory. When asked, choose to overwrite/replace the existing files.

Will there be a skin builder version?
AnSeOs
Nope

First of all, Your skin is a favorite of mine, so thanks for an amazing work! Therefore, after the update (in the newest version of skin) font color for player info and match score is set to white. In player info case, it makes it a bit difficult to read, especially on light background. In case of a match score in Europa League it makes teh score simply invisible. Is there some way to alter the color specifically in those two places (as far as I have noticed)?
AnSeOs
Thanks for your feedback! I know about this issue with the font colors. I will fix it as soon as I figure out what is causing it
