Why can't there be a background that is just plain white? Why is that so hard?

Are you trying to go blind?!?

j/k, I'm sure somebody has a mod for that. Check the mods forum.

The dark skin is the best this year. It keeps the colors of the ratings bar the way they used to look.

Same here. I had the white background in 24, and I believe several previous versions. I ask for a change in technical support but haven't received a reply.

Thing is, my "settings" are exactly the same in 25 as they are in 24, and still have the gray background.

A plain white background? That would not work well in my opinion. I suppose you talk about the light skin or the classic skin?

You're talking about this? If so, we can easily make it brighter if you guys hate it, no problem. But trust me, plain white would be too much.

This is what I was referring to. This would be Ok if you could lighten it up some.

I sincerely apologize for making my message sound so harsh.

It's been plain white before, or at least close to it. I have no idea which version, maybe somewhere around OOTP 15 or 16.

If the game had a skin option similar to what this OOTP forum background has it would work great.

The classic skin is very specific and just not for me. That's fine, but then the light skin is far too dark in my opinion and that's the lightest option available.

Here's something I just found, and I'd love to hear if this is the same for anyone else: The Front Office > Salaries page is perfect. But you go to any other page (Front Office > Accounting, Front Office > Staff Roles, etc.) it's very dark. This is using the "light" skin.

Yeah, what's going on there is that page is taking the output from what was an html file. Notice the "open in browser" to the top right. You'll see the same on various screens like Info > Reports, Info > History, Info > Schedule. The background should be made consistent and, I agree, a lighter colour.

Oh cool, thanks for the info! This forum is the best.

Thank you for improving for next patch, much appreciated.

It would be great if the light and classic skin could have their own specific rating number colors.

For example, the yellow is too washed out and the blue is way too bright.

Am I on my own with this opinion?

While you're at it, is there any chance you can take a look at defensive ratings shown on the players on field labels. When using the classic skin and the light skin it's almost impossible to see the ratings of any player with a green rating. Things are perfect when using the dark skin. I play using 3D classic.

Whichever white you used in v24 and all the other versions of OOTP before has been just fine. Trust me, it will be just fine in v25 also.
