Versions and Optional Files:
- MAC COMPUTERS: With the help of GlasgowAirport, who plays the game on a Mac computer, we achieved to make the files not crash the game when played on Macs. You only just have to select the files that's inside the folder "Mac Version". What we did was, that he send me the files of the game on a Mac computer (that are slightly different than a Windows computer) and I remade the skin using these files for all of you that are playing on a Mac.
- BACKGROUNDS: Unfortunately, due to the way this year’s game works, we can’t have different backgrounds per screen. However, the game does use different backgrounds for licensed competitions (Premier League, EFL competitions, Bundesliga, UEFA competitions, etc.), which appear before matches in those competitions.
If you want to see only the main background I’ve chosen, or you prefer to keep dynamic backgrounds only for UEFA competitions, I’ve included some optional files you can use.
Disclaimer:
- At the moment, this year’s themes/skins are created differently from previous versions, and we cannot modify or interfere with the UI. Therefore, I cannot accept requests to change specific elements of it.
- Additionally, because the game is frequently updated and these updates often affect the files we use, there will be regular updates to this theme/skin. On top of that, we’re constantly experimenting to discover how to change and improve more aspects of the game’s visuals.
- If you already have my theme/skin and want to install a newer version, sometimes cached files can cause issues. Please first Verify Files from Steam by right-clicking the game → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files, restart Steam or even your computer and then install the new version of my theme/skin.

I actually meant fkd up the work you do, not the game itself, as you fix one thing only to get another issue after an update.
Keep it going mate, use your theme personally so lets hope it gets a little bit more easy to edit for everyonesc sake..
Thank you for your comment Daz. A true legend in our community with lots of hours on skinning.
Though I disagree about SI fk it up with new updates. They are doing what have to be done. They are improving the game and I sincerely believe that.
What we are doing here it's not normal because we are editing game files not some xmls that go over the game files as previous. So... It all comes in the same package...
Your wasting your time mate, I made skins for year unti retiring, these early weeks are a nightmare to try and keep up in normal circumstances but this new version has more bugs than anything I have ever seen so you will find yourself changing things just for Si to fk it up again a few days/hours later.
It used to drive me mad, one of the reasons I stopped making skins, I would wait a while until it settles down.
Today I spent about 3 hours — with the help of many people here in the comments and my own community (I’m a content creator) — fixing errors and crashes that were caused.
Beyond that, the issue with Mac computers has been known for days (though I don’t know why exactly), where the game tends to have problems when mods are installed. I don’t use a Mac myself, so unfortunately I can’t provide much help there.
As for Windows, since I personally haven’t had any problems (after the fixes I made), I can’t identify the issue. The game update is now available to everyone, so the best thing to do is to download the latest version of my files and hope that everything will work.
If someone still experiences issues (on either Windows or Mac), I recommend trying the other two excellent themes/skins available for download here — or (unfortunately) verifying their game files to restore them to their original state.
It’s been quite a stressful day, and I’m afraid this will continue to happen in the future because of the frequent updates from SI.
Thank you all very much for your understanding and support. Cheers.
