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.

Hi! The skin was made by FMSkinBuilder tool - https://fmskinbuilder.com/ With it you can easily change background image by using my script for skinbuilder but colours and layouts need some effort. Script available via this link

Thank you so much for your quick response! 🤝
I just wanted to do two versions:
V1: The Blue Background change into some dark grey/black color
V2: A lighter version of it with withe background instead of your blue. But i think, this means, i've to change the color of the font as well.
How much effort does this need for a skinning newbie like myself? 😅
AnSeOs
Well, there is no way to do it in a few clicks. The colours of tiles and fonts are coded in dozens of values in ui-styles_assets_default.bundle in AlwaysAppliedStyleSheet. You can extract it through skinbuilder, copy needed values lines to .uss file, then change it to your taste and import this new values into the FM files through skinbuilder. It's hours of testing and compilating.
AnSeOs
But of course you can do it if you want. It’s just a matter of your free time. I've never done skins before and then I just learned how skinbuilder works and made the skin.
HollyWoods
Thank you again! 🙂
Unfortunately, I don’t really have the time. I’m very busy with work. So I’ll probably have to put that off until the summer to have a closer look.
But again: Thank you so much for your advice. Maybe i'll come back to you and send you a private message about it.

Sadly, my game crashes when I´m loading my gamesave. It loads to the overview screen and than it crashes. Someone has the solution?
Thanks!
AnSeOs
Hi! Does the game crash when you’re using skin files? How is it launching with default files?

AnSeOs
The size of the text in the stages table has been changed by patch 26.3. The skin files are not related to that

OK, that's really a pity. But still, I really appreciate you. And thanks for your skin.

What a nice skin. Really like it. I have noticed a little bug. Shirt is not showing on tactics screen, when the game is in between highlights.

Hi, when I enter the youth training, the game crashes with a critical error
AnSeOs
Hi! Which exactly tile do you mean? Can you send a screenshot? Mac or Windows?
AnSeOs
Thanks! I'll check it. Mac or Windows?
love Liverpool
I have Windows, and the pointer is on the tile.
AnSeOs
I checked it with a few different save files and it works fine for me. Can you send me a save file via DM?
love Liverpool
Save the game file?
AnSeOs
Yes

I can’t reproduce this error. I tested with different teams and kits are displayed correctly. Try to restore files by default and reinstall the skin files. does this problem not occur with the original game files? Are you have any mods that change kits?

Hello @AnSeOs, Your skin is the best this year and I am really enjoying it. However I discovered a little bug. In the Player Stats and Team Stats, it show a blank screen when I try to go in there. Also the Finished scouting report and the Team selection advice also
AnSeOs
Hi! SI released a hotfix today and i havent had time yet to check wich files have been modified. However, based on your screenshots the layout was restored to its default state. This most likely due to a hotfix. I'll chek and update the skin as soon as I can
Patrick Jnr Chibueze Olumba
Alright then. Thanks a lot
AnSeOs
So, I checked the updated files and I can say that the hotfix did not affect the skin files. But again, your screenshots show the default layout, which indicates that you are using an outdated version of the skin files, or you have not installed all the files. Download and install the latest version of the skin and check if everything is ok

Is polygon normal for a goalkeeper?
AnSeOs
Hi! It's obviously not. I guess I overlooked this. Wait for an update, I'll try to fix this
