Thanks for this, but i've a question:

Are there some bright or dark background examples, maybe a lighter grey?

[cleiria]

This is the background in the mod:

The text is in white, so a light background is hard to read

Yes, but i didn't changed the path, that was the problem. Now it works.

It's a good alternativ for the Standard Editor Skin, but for me not the best possible option.
In my opinion, the best way is a light grey skin with black text and to start by shortcuts in my taskbar.

Download the new version

Navigate to ...\editor\settings\editor settings.

In this file you have all the codes for colours.

I don't know which one is necessary to edit .

To test any change you do, go to C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Sports Interactive and delete Editor 2022 folder, before relaunch the editor.

Hello, I've launched the editor after downloading this, and accidently clicked on skin > FM and I've got a black screen on the editor and I can't do anything. I've tried uninstalling and installing the editor again and it's not worked. What can I do to get the editor back please?
