your welcome do you enter the setting into your xml or did you download the one i used

your welcome do you enter the setting into your xml or did you download the one i used

I downloaded your settings and used them with dave byrd's dark skin and it worked a treat.

ok thats good to hear . but i must add the the xml setting can not just be put into any skin folder

because it holds the colors setting with in the xml file . so good to hear it work well with your skin

thanks mate, I look forward to trying this.

So if i want to keep the colours i'm using right now i just paste my colour settings over yours?

And the settings folder makes sure the text fits into all the rows and buttons etc?

if you wanna keep your own colours then dont use my setting file .. just open yours and look near the bottom and your find : which should be 7,8,9, and not what iv listed below .

below are the change settings

<!-- default text settings -->

<flags id="text_font" value="fonts/vera"/>

<integer id="text_style" value="plain"/>

<integer id="text_size_small" value="8"/>

<integer id="text_size_normal" value="9"/>

<integer id="text_size_large" value="10"/>

Ok. Although i did try changing my font to Arial which worked... but all the rows and buttons etc weren't increased in width/size so the bottom of numbers and letters got cut off etc. Just confused how it seems ok on yours.. i'll have another bash later and see if it works

Thanks for this was very handy indeed good to see bigger txt on bigger monitor.

I didn't change the size just the font... using the dark skin(the base one so i can edit) i've put my own backgrounds and stuff and am now editing it further. I'll post back when i've tried

EDIT: I've just changed the section you said... have you changed the values by 1 for the other text settings? Or just those ones?

only the ones iv pointed out .. because thats all the default settings

for the text size on buttons im sure your need to change the buttons xml aswell

Na thats alright... although everything fits the widget subtitle doesn't... for match stats for example the team names are slightly cut off at the bottom... does this occur for you aswell?

mmm is that the only place it happens .. iv just seen that myself ..but it only happens on that 1 it feels

yep im not sure how to work around that one . because its the only place in the hole game that it shows like that .so making changes just for that will change all off the widget subtitle

I increased to 10, 11 and 12 in the XML, saved it, but no change in the size of the text in my game.

so in the xml its the first one under text settings

Yes, and I just retried it again. No change in text size.

My clumsy alternative now is to change the resolution. The whole game looks a bit fuzzy and ugly, but nice big text. ;-)

well not sure why . im useing the default resolution

how do u show the club logo behind the player picture?

dominicf, do you use exactly this skin: http://sites.google.com/site/michaeltmurrayuk/Skins/baseskinsfm2010? Larger font work for me only on this, so try it. It is the same with that in game

What skin is this are you using??

Its looks really good, personally the best I have seen on FM2010.

Looks great for tired old eyes like mine. Would it work on a laptop monitor, or does the screen need to be bigger?

I'm using the 2007 skin and can't see default text setting in the skin settings folder.

I just cut and pasted what the op had and it did the trick. Thanks.

Can someone help me with the fonts? I tried changing vera, but my game just crashed.

where did you get the 2007 skin for fm2010?

thanks :)

Thanks, just what I needed, makes the game easy on the eyes.

I tried to do this on Midas Touch (gold) and it didn't work

Interesting there in no "text_style" in the FM07 style skin.
