Unfortuantely, this is not a “wish-a-skin” thread :-)

Unfortunately not. SI redesigned that tile and changing it's overall size doesn't resolve the behaviour…
It was surely done to better reflect larger leagues to show more teams and less scrolling. The downside is, it does not properly rescale for smaller leagues :-(

#878408 Mia san mia - WC patch ready now! - FC Bayern skin by Darkside
xxx Darkside xxx
As I see people start downloading the skin from here… I'm more than happy to see ppl being interested in Club themed skins. I had a lot of fun doing it and try to reflect as much as possible things dedicated to the Club. I'm more than aware that this is not for everyone and totally fine with that. As I'm aware that not everyone is on “X” (former Twitter) and maybe never got note that this skin even exists, I released the initial version here as well.
Though, you should seriously consider to switch to Skinbuilder and get it from there! I will not publish any updates to bundled version in future. So with the next SI update, that skin will most likely break. All future updates will only be available through Skinbuilder, so if you like the skin and yout want keep using it in future, you might need to switch to Skinbuilder for further versions… The reason behind it is, that the process of updating a skin is much easier - for you as a user as well as for us as creators.
So give it a go and get it today … :-)
Reminder: You will find the latest Skinbuilder version here! Once installed and logged into the site, just use the gallery.
PS: This will also be the aproach for my other two skins as well. So if you want continous updates or adjustments, you should switch so Skinbuilder as soon as possible….

No, these do not interfere with a skin. Only modes which would replace bundle files, could potentially interfere - thatfore the string suggestion to always have a “clean” game install before applying a skin.

There's a minor update (V5.1.1) availabel at Skinbuilder Site.
It fixes the club negotiation panel at the start of a new save, as it went full transparent. Now it's back to the theme style.
As it's not game breaking, I won't release a new bundle version. If you still want to have it, just get it from the link above.

The regular download here is still the archived bundlefiles. This is - as to answer your second question - to keep the possibility to continue using the Addon on top of it, to do some custom changes. Currently, FMSB manages the Skins in the fmsb format, so you cant load and apply a “skin” (which the addon technically pretty much is) on top of it. This will change and become possible in future, as the development of the tool moves forward.
To use the mirrors, it's a couple of clicks needed to get there - but there are def. leading to the Skinbuilder site :-)

Can't reproduce this here… Try resetting your gamefiles (verify within steam for example) and reinstall the skin.
Maybe use SKinbuilder for this…

You need to install the SkinBuilder Tool. The fmsb format you downloaded will be handled by the tool, so you can directly apply the skin to your game. No more manually copying necessary.
You can download the tool here.
Once installed, open the tool and do a quick setup:
Just put the path to your Gamebundles directory according to your Gameinstallation. For Steam that would be something like
\XboxGames\Football Manager 26\Content\fm_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64\
Once the tool is installed and configured, you can go back to the download and just press “Open in APP”
It will lead you to your locally available skins…
Just select “Apply” and the tool will do the rest for you…
