Not sure not tried it, if not head over to fmskinbuilder.com for my new skins, I have one called TSO and a dark skin called Dark Passenger. There are also other skins available for free

OMG the blue color is so bad on the eyes!

 

Thanks for the feedback sorry it’s not to your taste but the blue colour is one of a few that look good in the game that compliments the tiles and text. Hope you find a skin that you like there are a few out there.

I wanted to make some changes to the skin from the first version. I’ll look at your comments for my next release.

I ain’t even saying it as criticism but I’ve seen your other ones and the stadium background looks way better. 

 

i can look at this for version 2 if I do another one. But you can accept that red is in the club badge yes? I check all colours before using them and yes some might vary slightly as I have put some transparency so you get to see the background a little more than just seeing around the edges. White doesn't work and blue, then you have to much blue

Usually I don't comment other creators skins, but let me drop a few thoughts here…

 

It's totally fine not liking a particular skin. That's why we - the skinners - are here and trying to offer a variety to the community, so all users can choose that skin, which comes closest to personal preferences. 

 

However I'm not sure if you have at least an idea how many effort lays within each of this available skins. No matter if that's the “older” ones by budwaiser and AlexMorak - as an example - who did all this with a horrible tool like uabae and had to redo EVERYTHING with each patch SI released - or the newer ones, like mine, MrTinis's or these one here,  based on Skinbuilder… Even though it's much more comfortable (and with more things possible to do) than doing it through uabea - there're still hundreds of hours into it, to find all the variables, classes, panels, layouts etc. to change the outfit of the game as we can do right now… Endless hours of try&error, restarting the game over and over and over…

 

So the least thing you as a (potential) user can do is, show some respect for all the work having been put into it. Some of us - me included btw - don't even play that horrible game… We do it for the fun of working on it and for YOU, the users - trying to provide you a better experience as the original game can do…

 

   

 

Cheers mate, I’m all for feedback and suggestions where I can maybe learn better and implement but pure hate doesn’t sit well with me. Thanks for having my back and all the help

Nah dude, this the sort of stuff we don't need on the forums. At the very least Dave is actually contributing and putting skins out instead of being negative for the sake of being negative. If you are going to comment like this, at least give it substance since now you're not even providing useful feedback. 

Or you know, pick up the skin builder tool and do it yourself… 

 

Thanks man

Honestly i cant even say good effort because its not. Id recommend not posting these until you get good.

 

Give it a go if you think these are not good. You wouldn’t know how much goes into these to try and make the game a little better for some people. No one is asking you to download if you don’t want to mate. happy for constructive feedback but this is just nasty

I can’t lie bro thanks for this but could’ve added Stanford bridge background instead of the badge. And the red for opening up a tab isn’t the Chelsea way but thanks 

 

All the colours used are included in the club badge mate but feel free to have a go yourself if your not happy with the skin and time put into it

The colours are changed in the base.css and base.uss parts in the styles folder. Get your colours off google. I just search for rgb colours. There should be a few option to look for. Also I would google Newcastle rgb colours. This should give you the codes you need for Newcastle. Looking at your image the size isn’t right so it’s not showing correct. I’m out at the moment but I believe all those images on the tiles should be 1920x1080. 

 

For the coloured tiles, you’re looking in the base.uss file. if you check the ones I’ve changed to red then change to the colour you want. Make sure to save any changes and make sure you have the folder ticked before clicking on build.

Why are you removing the 2D animation from the match screens? It's perhaps the best adjustment the game has ever received. Also, the profile picture gets bigger when you zoom in; does that happen in some patches too? If these two things were fixed, it would be a great patch, but unfortunately, these two things are very important, which is why I can't use your theme. I would appreciate it if you could take a look at it.

 

Didn’t realise I had removed anything tbf I’m no expert at these things just trying make the game better for users. I’ll take a look thanks for the feedback

worked when i reinstalled the game!!

 

 

Pleased it’s working for you. I also found sometimes I had to reset the game files before adding the new background file. Can’t work out why they work on some older saves but not all of them. I’m Working with skin builder now so hopefully be able to make these quicker and better. I actually thought skin builder looked complicated but it’s so much better. Working on a couple now where I’m not only adding the backgrounds but changing the font, adding pictures to the start and settings menus.

Judging by your screenshots you are for some reason missing a config file in the normal club folder.  

Good spot, let me try that and see if it sorts it thanks man

I've tried to change the logos in my game, however despite clearing the cache and reloading the skin I can't get the large logos working. Seems the small ones are. Can anyone help please?

 

I've added the screen shots. I've added them in the same logos folder I had my previous logos in and they worked fine. Not sure if it's something to do with the ‘back left’ and ‘back right’ folders.

 

Just to add, I;ve downloaded the main pack (large file) and the update packs too and added the updated files in the main pack so it's all upto date.

@davehouto Thanks for the feedback!! The backgrounds I use can be found here just download and add them to your FM22 graphics folder FM 2022 Misc Graphics | FM Scout The competition ones are the ones you need, depends what size you have your game set up as (mine is standard size 100%) I also use a 17inch laptop, not sure of that makes a difference, hope that helps🙂

 

Cheers mate, got all the background pics now, I'm on a MacBook Air which is a much smaller screen size. Sure I'm set up at 100% but I'll double check. I know that some skins show the kits bigger than normal. Thanks for your help fella

Great skin buddy, just download it to try it out. First change I always make is to change the text so that it's not all in caps which is an OCD thing for me. Just wanted to check, I don't seem to have the backgrounds you have are they not part of the skin? I've attached some screen shots of what it looks like on my laptop. One more thing, specifically on the club info screen, your kits look bigger an it looks a slightly different set up. Other than that great skin, the font you've used is epic I love it

Hi there, can I just say the updated database is fantastic and I'm forever using it to keep up to date with all the moves etc in the game, especially around transfer times in the UK. One thing I noticed, the recent loan transfer to Aston Villa for Courtinio seems to have him injured for 4 weeks to 6 months with torn knee ligaments. Is this right as he played a few days ago? Does this need to be updated?

Thanks mate. The new logo and background style in the preview will be released in time for FM22. I’ve only got the nations done so far but I’m working on them at the moment.

 

I post these a bit more on the FB page. Some other styles also in the works and all to be released as megapacks.

 

@NassFas I‘m back Wednesday evening mate and I’ll do that for you.

 

What's the FB site name please?
