Darkside's FM.Zweierkette Skin 2.5.1 - Update 31.05.2026 - ready for 26.3 *Win Bundles *

Today we're proud to present a new skin - FM.Zweierkette!

This was done in deep cooperation between Tery, founder and head of Germany's biggest FM Community 

and myself.

From a feature perspective, it contains everything from my main Skin Darkside Base.

Visually, we changed it from scratch and adjusted it deep into details,  to fully reflect the environment of the FM.Zweierkette Community.  

We hope you enjoy this experience!

Quick note: MacOS Bundle is untested, due to a capabilty from my side doing so. If it does not work, please let me know.

First of all, my special thanks goes to lotsgon, sic, MW90, MrTini23, LuckyLuke - and in general to the community on FMML discord, for massive support and sharing stuff and ideas while trying to work into this new environment, as well as ongoing - as this is and has been incredibly valuable - and finally to my old friend Flut who teached me so many things in the past. 

Additional credits going to 
TinyHips for sharing his prematch lineups 
Ferrigi97 for providing a load of additional prematch lineups as of V3.0 

In this skin, there goes a particular thanks to Tery (founder and owner of FM.Zweierkette) for our amazing collaboration to make this skin happen and share it with the community

This is a call to the FM26 player community… 

Please check and go here .

We, the skinners do all this for free and in our spare time. However, without having a proper tool not much of this would be possible or even coming back after SI patches usually within hours or even after major updates within 24 hours.

All this requires ressources (servers, spaces and bandwidth) and those cost money. So I kindly ask all of you who can,  support the community and make it possible to continue with the project. 

Update 1.2

• Implemented new PlayeProfile
• Added new panel for transfer history  (thanks to  @MrTini)
• Player: redone career tab

Added FM.Z Lineup- and Teamcolorchanger

With that small Skinbuilder Addon, you're able to select you're preferred Prematch-Lineup - including the new and exclusive FM.Z Prematch-Lineup!
You can also activate switching the Main-Menu Header ingame using Teamcolor.

For using it, you need the latest Skinbuilder Beta 0.6-0.6 which you can find here   

I cannot support Skinbuilder, if you want to use it, please find help here

Version 1.3 

(ready for SI Patch as of 9.03.2026)

• fixed minor issue in Staff search Filter
• minor Color Adjustment in Messages footer
• Major clean up of unused variables and classes - if something suddenly changed (color-wise) let me know so I can investigate...
• Adjusted new SI Fixtures page pre/postgame
• Added FM.Zweierkette Prematch-Lineup
• some minor additonal color adjustments

Due to some major changes within the code, for now we can't continue using the redesigned Playerprofile - so for the time being it reverts back to default. However, the feature to be able to scroll that page is still there!

Summarizing, all features which had been in 1.2 should be fully reinstated.

Enjoy - and this time an additional big hug to @lotsgon for making this happen so quickly!!!! The whole community owes you on this!
