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"

 

Thanks to Darkside for the default skin and to all the other mods for their contributions to the community!

Hi @budwaiser4, I wanted to try your skin because I was having issues with the CTRL skin, but I encountered the same problem with your theme as well. Everything in the game is up to date, but when I click on the “International Round-Up” or “Scouting” content in the emails, the game crashes. I’d like to report this as feedback.

 

The error I received:

 

Application Error: A serious error has occurred and the application will now close. An error log has been created at:
https://fmofficial.support/Ticket

 

We sincerely apologize for this and ask that you please contact
https://fmofficial.support/Ticket for technical support.

I apologize for the confusion; the issue arises when I update the UI Speed Patch mod mentioned below. It seems that with the 26.3.1 update, we can no longer speed up the interface in any way. Other than that, the game ran without any issues after I verified the game files and loaded the Material skin. Please accept my apologies once again.

This skin is by far my favourite but while I was waiting for the update Ive been using the skogr skin and I must say I really like how you can see numbers for the sharpness, condition and staff attributes, If possible maybe try implement this into Material Skin? Its really nice to see the exact details of your players.

i use windows Also, since the scoreboard is in the middle, it doesn't work properly with the scoreboard package. Can you move the scoreboard to the center?
