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"

Great news! Thanks for the quick response, and the quick update for the skin!
DarrenToon
Think I've found a slight problem with the skin, I love this skin each and every year and all skin makers do amazing work, however on mine the club drop down menu is the same as the squad drop down menu, picture attached to see what I mean
budwaiser4
Hi, in my game not have this problem, have you tried with the default skin if you have the same problem? Because the skin does not affect the contents of the menus but only changes the colors..maybe is a bug of using more than one manager i don't know..let me know
DarrenToon
Hi, once I closed the game down, reloaded and changed managers within the game it righted itself, hope that helps
budwaiser4
So i think is a bug of the game, try with the default skin if you can..however i'll try to check but i think not depends on skin because is game mechanics

v2.2.2
- Fixed Popup player not show attributes on MAC
- Restored the new Youth Setup screen

Budwaiser, thanks for you goo job, but in this new version V26.2.2 pictures are too big
budwaiser4
Answer also here, i've answered also in FM Scout 🙂
it's a graphic choice to use the big picture like my previous skin on FM24 but 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 after the SI's update
luanpefe
Thanks you. 👍
MrTini23
I wouldn't….it's a logistical nightmare xD
budwaiser4
Mmm i must see of course if it's not a nightmare but i think not is..we will see 😀

Personally, I also prefer from past years big pictures but one question: is it normal for the image to appear cropped at the bottom, it depends on the resolutions (I have 2560x1440) or it depends on other reasons?
Thank you!
budwaiser4
Hi! Depends on the fact if i put the face bigger than that probably go too close to the top edge and to the side edges because the photo should become larger both vertically and horizontally.. I preferred to cut the bottom part rather than risk having the head cut off, but in any case in the next updates I'll see if it can be fixed better because I did this quickly due to the "urgency" of releasing the skin 🙂

@budwaiser4 Really like your work but could it be that there is a bug for the “deadline day”? Typically on that they there should be a field showing the hourly requests and offers under Portal -→ Overview.
But in current version 2.2.2. your Skins has a empty area at the top, I guess there should be the deadline day field.
Maybe you can add this? To debug just simulate to the last day of a transfer window.
budwaiser4
Hi can you send me a DM with a screenshot to see which check? thanks
Eskalo ツ
@budwaiser4 I didn't post that much here therefore I can not send you a PM. Can you send me a DM as initial opener? Or other options? Discord?
budwaiser4
Sent PM

I'm not getting past the loading screen. Just keeps crashing. Anyone else had the same experience? (Mac)
budwaiser4
It happens only with the latest update? Have you tried to restore the default files first to put the files of the skin?
Criko22
budwaiser4
It's because of the resolution..probably you play on laptop so the big picture are hide because it didn't fit..i must check if it's possible to add it also in small device because i try to use the same code of the big screen but the game crash
Criko22
yeah, my monitor is 1600x900 so it must be for this reason. however, thank you sm, if there is a way to solve this pls let me know
budwaiser4
Yes for sure it's the resolution..hope to find a way for small device 🙂
bekko33
Hi, first of all thank you for this beautiful skin. After the last update, the season statistics appear very small in the bottom right corner. Is this a resolution problem?
budwaiser4
Hi no It's right that you see it like this otherwise probably it wouldn't have fit..I have to try to see if I can make it bigger
budwaiser4
v2.2.5
- Fixed the portal messages in Polish languages (you must use the file in the "polish" folder)
McG84
Great skin well done on creating it. I was wondering if you could help. In the attached screenshot the text for that says defenders, midfielders attackers and individuals looks like it might be duplicate. Is there anything I can do to change this?
budwaiser4
I know that exist this bug but i think it depends on the game..i must check with default skin if exist or not because i don't touch that panel
