you must have them in Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2014\skins\SKIN-NAME\panels\news_item_panels\inbox content with team report panel.xml

see what you did wrong. i won't state the obvious (just this time), like reload the skin and have "use skin cache" turned off and "reload skin" turned on in options.

OK works now. I just put the .xml straight into my panels folder. Didn't realise I had the put the folder with the panel in it there.

Thanks. Looks good.

sure you can. see my previous edited post #5

Edited mine too

added full in game screens so people can see what to expect, of course, in a different skin the main theme is different, but it helps to get the picture. And don't forget that if you want those colors in the goals chart, you need to edit your skin settings xml, and maybe use your own coloring system

great additions! Thank you!

Cachirro, i use the default skin so where do I extract the files ?

Looking good. Tweaked the assist locations to make them white and not black.

Cachirro, i use the default skin so where do I extract the files ?

you need to get the base skin (the one you like) in order to make changes to the default skin

get them here: https://sites.google.com/site/michaeltmurrayuk/Skins/baseskinsfm2014

yep, that way looks better in your skin. about the background colors, with the system i've used you can spot in no time where they're stronger and weaker.

thanks mate

folder new_item_panels goes inside skin panels or the file inside news_item_panels goes to skin panels ?

you should maintain the folder structure in my zips.

in that case, should be:

\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2014\skins\SKIN-NAME\panels\news_item_panels\ ...files

ok, extracting new_item_panels inside skin folder panels :-)

if you just extract the zip to the skin main folder, you see that the panels is already inside my zip, anyway, do it in the way you know, as long as the end result is the same.

I added it back in, maybe it doesn't fit properly in all resolutions.

If you have a higher resolution like me, just add the following code into the xml:

<!-- weather and attendance -->

<container class="plain_box" height="40">

<layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" layout="120, -1" gap="60"/>

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" layout_children="true"/>

<widget class="weather_indicator_panel" id="weic" spec="text" alignment="left">

<boolean id="show_weather_label" value="false"/>

<boolean id="show_weather_icon" value="true"/>

<boolean id="show_temperature_on_icon" value="true"/>

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left"/>

</widget>

<container height="40">

<layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" layout="-1, -1"/>

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" layout_children="true"/>

<widget class="text" auto_size="all" spec="text" colour="text">

<translation id="text" translation_id="247242" type="use" value="Attendance"/>

<layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" alignment="middle"/>

</widget>

<widget class="text" id="atnw" auto_size="all" spec="text" colour="text" size="12">

<layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" alignment="middle"/>

</widget>

</container>

</container>

Result:

Looking good. Tweaked the assist locations to make them white and not black.

I noticed, at least with me, that the logo was "blown up", see screenshot

I corrected that by adding scale_picture="true" in the xml

Portion for logo in lines 55-65 should look like:

<!-- team details -->

<container height="200">

<layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" layout="180, -2, -1" offset="0" gap="8"/>

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="5" layout_children="true"/>

<widget class="client_object_logo_picture" id="tmlg" height="180" width="180" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" image_alignment="centre">

<layout class="centre_in_parent_attachment" alignment="all" />

</widget>

</container>

thanks for the help mate, but i wanted it on the right of player picture, but the tip remains, maybe other users want to use it.

that doesn't happens on my side, i've done it to my exact logos size 180x180, so it works perfect, but maybe you have different size logos that's why you had those cuts. So, the tip remains in case any one needs it.

don't know what you're talking about, maybe you could show us some screen.

6. 3D MATCH VIEW

In Game Screen:

Changed files:

Graphics: boxes\matches

Additional Help:

What will you get?

- bigger caption panel

- players stats, game stats and last events widgets tweaked, for example, you get to see assists in the players stats (had more data, but disabled it for space sake, but it's in the file for who wants it)

- darker background for all widgets

- small changes in timeline bars

(i have the 3 widgets in that left side, but of course, you can move them to wherever you want)

I read on another post that the issue with the white texts has to do with the official dark skin being installed.

You had the problem with every skin , so it was obvious that it had nothing to do with the skins themselves , luckily one guy sorted it out, he wrote:

"I was having the same problem mate but finally sorted it out. All i did was remove the official dark skin completely from the computer via the "Downloads" option on the main screen and the steam workshop area, then cleared my cache in preferences then reloaded the skin. now working perfectly!"

Hope this does the trick!

Great panels Cachirro
