Football Manager 2021 Skins - Dark Polish FM21 Skin v2.1
Default dark skin how I believe it should be. If you want to keep originality of the game with some not intrusive visual improvements, Dark Polish is what you are looking for. It's clean and low-res friendly.

New in version 2:1:

1. Improved Instant Result button design:
- button is now located at match day header panel, based on FM 2021 Touch,
- this also solves the problem of squad view buttons overlaping each other in certain scenarios,
- button colors are now dynamic (reversed competition colors),
- changed icon from "whistle" to "fast forward", feels more intuitive,
- improved confirmation popup - the "yes" button is now bigger and positioned in straight line under the instant result button, so it's more comfortable to click through them.

2. Various improvements:
- removed color accents from team sheet paper, since they make custom logos poorly visible in too many cases,
- improved edges quality of default logos,
- sharper @2x default continent logos,
- fixed red highlight of unavailable player when chosen on tactic screen list,
- fixed "white on white" continue button in certain scenarios during press conferences and manager appointment.

New in version 2:0:

1. Enhanced background selector:
- club color theme is not covered by backgrounds anymore.
- background selecting works properly now. Originally they could change chaotically, clicking on previews from 5 to 10 enabled background next to it. I managed to fix it.
- previews display entire backgrounds instead of some extreme zooms.
- previews are smaller now and there is no forced darkening inside selector. This let's you see better in real time how exactly your changes look in-game.
- bg selector and opacity selector are closer to each other. You don't have to move cursor through entire screen anymore.
- opacity selector has 90% option now.
- opacity overlays are made on dark grey instead of black, which makes the effect more consistent with the skin.

2. "Huge" database option:
- when creating new game with Dark Polish Skin, you can now choose "huge" database option. Remember these options change mostly depth of selected data - main factor of database size is still "approximate player count" decided by number of playable leagues and/or custom preferences.

3. New main menu, based on FM21 skin:
- the one I made for FM20 was fine but it was brought to my attention it didn't scale well on very big resolutions. Eventually it was easier to make a new one than figure out the fix.

4. Instant result popup with more info:
- basic stats of our players.
- important match events like goals are on top.
- match stats with bar charts.

5. Fixed broken news feed pictures:
- player picture is now well-fitting with big story photo (I love you SI, but someone should be fined for that one)
- smaller news photos have backgrounds.

6. Full dark match screen:
- remaining purple elements are gone now.
- fixed visibility of continue button in match screen, it won't appear white on white anymore.

7. Minor visual fixes for instant result button, role suitability pies, profile circle icons, social media club avatars, sidebar selector and match scoreboard.

Make sure to check out other custom skins, from which I learned a lot. This skin would be impossible without them and Sports Interactive.

    I wish it was possible to get the original skin but with this club view :(

    @bozz If you want to change default stadium image for all clubs than yes. But if you want specific stadium images in every club, then use FMT Stadium Superpack.

    @Goodname Technically I can but since they were removed by default in FM21, I didn't include them as well.

    @Aegard I will see what I can do with it, although I don't have 2K monitor so it might be difficult to replicate. I might try adress this in next release after 24 Nov.

  • Goodname's avatar
    Amazing thank you
    You can add the circle on the tactics? like to know if the players on the tactic screen are bad/good at the specific role

    Small bug: club logos disappear for me when UI scaling is increased beyond 110%. (I play on a 2K monitor so normally play at +125%).

    Question, how do we change the stadium image? Rename the "none" image file with the new image we'd want? Thanks!
  • Goodname's avatar
