Getting profile pictures larger

[DK10]

It seems that SI has scaled profile pictures down this year. Combined with my new monitor regen faces look tiny. I would love to make the pics 2x or 3x larger. How would I go about doing that. thank you.

Hi. wanted to do the same. I messed around a bit and got it to work. you have to do some "basic skinning" though.

use the resource archiver tool that comes with game. browse for a file and look for one called: player profile personal details.xml (it is located in panels). extract that one. now you have to edit it a bit. I use notepad (just use remeber to save the edited file as an .xml and not as a .txt dokument)

these are the things I edited in the file with RED (you may try other parameters to make it even bigger)

put the finished file in the folder called "panels" in your favorite skin. thats it. good luck.

hope you get it to work...

Thanks, works fine. However, doing the above gives an annoying scrollbar by the picture. Does anyone know how to remove the text that causes this. It's the info about player value, wage details and contract expirecy.

...and Megabump!

Is the solution presented by winther still the only way to do this, or is there an easier way for FM11? Can't understand why SI descided to make the pictures smaller in the first place.
