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"

I notice me too but i thinks is a problem of FM, also in other skin i see sometimes this problem..maybe depends on the language i don't know but for sure i'll check it out to ensure it's not my fault ahah 🙂
Thanks for the report mate
Bigkopman74
Thanks for the great skin!

Hi nice work, but have a problem. With last update of skin not workin Instant Result. The game is frozen.
budwaiser4
Hi i try with instant result and have no problem. Have you try restore the original Steam file and put again the file of the skin?
majaman
I verified the game's integrity, and everything is fine in the original game's default skin.
budwaiser4
I don't know mate, i try the instant result before the match and during the match and it works perfectly. You are on Windows or Mac?
majaman
Windows, I will try download again the skin and will see
budwaiser4
Ok before you put the skin try to restore again the files

I'm trying to remove the dynamic backgrounds, but after installing the second zip, they still appear. Any tips?
budwaiser4
What you mean second zip? You mean the file default_bg?
In the current skin you don't need to use the second file because everything is already integrated and you no longer see the background of a competition.. in fact thanks for reminding me that I have to remove the download of that file 🙂

Hi budwaiser4,
I’ve been using your skin for a long time, and I think the color scheme and layout you’ve chosen are perfect.
Right after the 26.2 update, I downloaded your latest skin, which you released on March 12.
But today I noticed you updated it again, only two files:
`ui-styles_assets_default.bundle` and `ui-widgets_assets_all.bundle`.
Could you let me know what changes were made in this update? Thank you.
Also, I have a small suggestion:
Could you **make the player portrait bigger in the player details panel**?
For example, like some other skin creators do — move the portrait to the lower part of the panel.
It would look much better and more comfortable.
I’m not an English speaker, so I used a translator. Sorry if my wording is a bit off.
Thanks again for your great work!
budwaiser4
I uploaded because I realized I forgot to remove a gradient...for the large faces we'll see if I can insert them in the next update 🙂

Hey, this is a really nice skin but im wondering how to change the background image of the skin overall in the menus and also how to change the accent colour from the teel colour to something else. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Bro, thanks for your reply above. Right now the tactic board avatars are showing properly on other creators' skins. I'm wondering when your skin will get this update. Your color scheme is my favorite, and I only use your skin. Also, please add the zoom-in player avatar on the player detail page. Appreciate all your hard work, looking forward to your new skin version!
budwaiser4
Working on the new version compatible with the new updates release from the SI..hope can be out tomorrow 🙂
Yeetgndzz
bro please update
bigpole
The author LITERALLY, posted a message above yours, that he is indeed working on an update. Update that came out YESTERDAY.
I really hate messages like these, especially when skin creators (especially for this version), have to fix skins each time SI updates a game.
Just wait patiently instead of begging.
Yeetgndzz
Dude are you retarded? Why are you so triggered like this. I was bored, so I sent a normal message, in a polite tone. Just stfu and mind you own business.
Yeetgndzz
Lol bro gave me a warning for abusing staff. Go get a real job man. This guy is a joke.
bigpole
1st warning, because you didn't have to call me retarded, but you did.
I'm triggered, because the answer to your message was in the last post of this topic. And if you just read I don't know, the last page of this topic, you would know that the author is already working on the file. I could understand if the skin update was in January, but the author replies regularly. I'm minding my business just fine, so thanks, but I'm also responsible for moderating the forum.
I hope, that you will be reading every thread you're posting in, because these are the basics, and the author can use this time to work on the file, instead of replying to what he's posted just few hours ago.

The Yap Master gave me another warning because of spam 😂 He thinks I care about this site.
bigpole
I think you care, because you seem bothered by this. Please do not spam from now on, you can download the skin update you've been waiting for.

@budwaiser4 hi, it's possible to fix the view of the player stats when you hover on the icon?
budwaiser4
Thanks for reporting it..now it's fixed download new version
budwaiser4

Mythriak
Kind of sad with the player profile changes, but I can understand that some of the info wasn't showing probably because the size of the panels… I like to see the big spider graphic attributes with the numeral ones, that's one of the main reasons I'm using your skin. Hope you can work it out to look like in the screenshots again. By the way, amazing work!
budwaiser4
Hi, probably in future i can do 2 version of the player profile, one with the actual and one with the previous…now i do only one version just for “urgent” reasons to publish the skin
