But it's not possible, that this is coming from my skin. Never used green text color and the other weird stuff… So however that his happeing, no further idea.
Try veryfying game installation again and try the bundlefiles…

If you start your game now, how does it looks like?

How does your config.json looks like?

It's impossible you get that green text color from my skin - as I'm not using it … same with this purple stuff, even you're main menu on top is messed up. No way you have applied my skin properly to a clean game installation… ;-)

Surely not my look … So you either changed settings within the skin or you applied it above already patched bundlefiles… See my posting above on how to repair…

Skinbuilder version

Send a screenshot…

Most likely you have a mix of already modded files and the version you applied. In this case, you can

restore original Gamefiles
verify you game installation (steam), which will make sure your gamefiles are in original versions
redo your build
reapply the build

Hi, I downloaded the 3.5 preview, couple of issues. First of all, the bars had a stong purple or pink with green font at times.
also, in the squad view, cant see the positions picked due to purple/pink overlay that obscures the position.

can provide screenshots if need be, but do very much like it.

Bundle or Skinbuilder version?

just been having a play around with the preview version. It looks awesome, keep up the good work.

I am looking forward to the finished version

It will be some more finetuning and most likely a couple more adjusted or redesigned pages…

With upcoming Version 3.5, the skin will undergo some bigger changes…

Dark/Blue will stay the major accent of the skin but I added some transparency.

WIth the latest Skinbuilder Beta Version, dynamic tiles become available…

what else?

New main font
many fresh screens (tnx ahead to MrTini23 for sharing with me!)
many minor finetunigs for an even smoother and better experience

Up from V3.5 I will no longer maintain red/green theme. I might pick them up at a later time but not for the next couple of releases.

Stay tuned ;-)

When I add/change my own images as JPGs in "Messages," they are either not displayed or are distorted... the file size is identical.
What's the reason for this? Even though I followed the instructions exactly.

Distorted is usually an indicator for mismatching resolution. Other than that, no idea… check the logs what the warnings are saying…

Hi, sorry if this has already been answered but as this impacts game files is it possible to use with network (multiplayer) games?

Amzing work though

Never tried tbh, but wouldn't see a reason why it shouldn't work…

Important Announcement:

Up form the next version, I will stop supporting the alternative colorversions (red, green). Preparing for the latest release of Version 3, I realized how much time consuming it is, to maintain three different versions and apply all changes to keep them in sync. So ongoing I will only develop the blue version and not catch up with all changes to red or green version.

Though for giving you an idea how a multi color version (by simply selecting a different color) can help for a convinient experience using multiple different base colors, I'll keep “red” and “green” versions in the skin - but their development will be frozen to V3 level.

So in future I will also just release the Skinbuilder Version and the blue bundles, whenever I publish an update.

I have the tool and was taking every step and it seems to work because it was added to the game,but when i start the game i dont see the difference.
I will look after work, thank you for response!

If you don't see a difference - it was not applied to the game… Please recheck every step…

I am trying my best to get this ingame,but everytime i try it wont work.
I put it in the map like it should but ingame nothing change.
But respect for the people that makes this,it does look a lot better !!

If you are struggling with the tool (lathough it should be possible to get it in game with the little guide I've done in the first post) - you can always take the bundle version. It contains (almost) all features from the SkinBuilder version as well. YOu do install this like any other skin. Just copy the bundles into the Gamesfolder…

look at your screenshot ive attached, all the tiles/panels are see through so you can see the background screen through them. how can i achieve this ?

I've told you above…

In Skinbuilder, click on the base.uss file and then you see the variables and the colors. Check for the two dark pairs (start with one) and change their values to what you like… SAVE.

Do a restore/build/apply circle and see how it refelcts in your game…

There actually only two pairs of dark colors - just play around with them… One is the base color, second one will be when hovering over the tile

the screenshots of the blue theme have more of a transparent look to the tiles. they dont look like this on the DARKSIDE BASE download ? what is the BLUE bundle download for and where do you put the files ? thank you

Base download = Skin Builder Skin, you need the tool to create/apply your own bundles. You can also change every change I made to your pers. liking

Blue bundle = compiled bundles - like the other skins. You just need to copy them into the bundle folder of the Game
