poma Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hi I want some help edit a skin I'm using atm. 1st: how do I increase the opacity of the background? and what is the red square doing there in the top left? 2nd: It seems like a panel is missing in the middle, if you look at the stats? where do I find that one? 3rd: I wanna find and edit the panel at the top, just under the titlebar? 4th: And I wanna edit the panel on top, the auto-hide bar? Would be glad for some help, cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 #1 and #2 will both by caused by an issue with the graphics, looks like your skin is using pre-patched files so deleting the contents of the graphics/boxes/bordered/match/ folder should fix issue #2, for #1 deleting the contents of \graphics\boxes\titled\match should hopefully remove that red box and also darken the panel - as that red box should cover the entire panel and be recoloured to the grey used elsewhere. #3 and #4 is the same thing called the match action bar, it's not really all that editable, the appearance bit is controlled by the 'panels\client object browser' xml file, it's controlled by the code that follows this comment: <!--match actions bar--> Whilst the position and the content that appears there is controlled by the 'actions\match actions.xml' file Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
poma Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 1st: - problem solved! 2nd: - problem solved (but I wanted to keep the layout and now it's like default) 3rd: - want to make this bar more transparent. 4th: - want to make this bar more transparent.

michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Graphic in #3 and #4 should be controlled by this: graphics/interface/header/match/actionbar For #2 have you got a screenshot of whats changed as its been a while since I've actually played a match in Fm15.

poma Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 How do I stop the sidebar from being transparent? -seems like it's only that when I view club/or home (my club) and not competitions etc... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Editing the sidebar depends on what the method the skinner has used to make it transparent, if you just want it back to the default colour/style the easiest thing to do is to delete the 'settings\accent colours.xml' file and the 'panels\sidebar menu table.xml' file if present, you'll then need to exit and restart FM if it is running as the changes to the colours file are only picked up on startup not when reloading skins. If you are wanting to keep any skin changes but remove the transparency then have a look at this thread: [FM15 Guide] How to Edit the Sidebar (though you'll be wanting to do the inverse of those instructions to remove the transparency) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

poma Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 A new question, I want to re-arange the sidebar, titlebar/header and actionbar. Is it possible to make it look like this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
poma Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 This is what I've got so far in another skin; -the sidebar should be moved up, just under the header/titlebar. -the actionbar should be moved to the right side of the sidebar. I know the sidebar has to be after the header/titlebar and before the actionbar in the coding but can't make the last two steps work properly so I would like some help please? <?xml version='1.0'

michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 If you locate and cut this code for the sidebar from near the bottom of the file: <widget class="sidebar_menu_table" id="side" width="40" appearance="boxes/bordered/standard/paper"> <record id="object_property"> <integer id="get_property" value="objt" /> <integer id="set_property" value="cotO" /> </record> <attachment class="test_screen_size_attachment" alignment="horizontal" min_value="0" max_value="160" set_property="widt" true_value="40" false_value="40"/> </widget> And then paste it in somewhere near the top above the actions bar code but below the header code then it should appear where you want and automatically shift the actions bar to the right aswell, though you may need to mess around with some container and layout tags to get it to show, best thing to do is to compare your modified code with the default code to give you an idea of what settings you might need to add.

michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 You might need a </container> on line 102 to close that container if you haven't closed it elsewhere, other than that it is just trial and error. The other thing you can do is sort of fudge it by putting the sidebar back in its normal place and then adding an image to the 'sidebar menu table' xml file which is recoloured to the team colour and shifts the sidebar down, so the recoloured corner piece from the header is still part of the sidebar rather than the header, which is how I think other people did it initial and there should be a few threads on it around.

michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 It should be controlled by the 'panels\menubar\seperator icon.xml' file in that file is this line: <widget class="picture" file="dividers/standard/horizontal/line"/> Then change the file bit to point to your own custom image, and just make it a 1x1 pixel transparent image, though if you want all the vertical dividers in the game to be transparent you can just replace that image with a 1x1 transparent version.

Should I copy the seperator icon.xml into my 'skin/panels' folder or 'skin/panels/menubar' I've created a folder in the 'dividers' folder called sidebar and there a file 1X1 transparent and in the xml I wrote: <widget class="picture" file="dividers/sidebar/line"/> But it doesn't work!?

michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Hmm, for some reason it looks like its hardcoded to only read the graphic from the default location, so you'll need to put the graphic in: dividers/standard/horizontal/ folder.

poma Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 One thing that bothers me is that the sidebar image/picture seems to be unchangeable for some reason, I've changed the location who the panel points to but even then the sidebar never change. Here is the code in the "client object browser" panel; <widget class="sidebar_menu_table" id="side" width="41" appearance="boxes/sidebar/standard/left/paper"> What do I do wrong?

michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 From what I remember the sidebar was a mess to edit as it doesn't use an image its just a table with the background generated by the game rather recolouring a png file, there should be a detailed thread around somewhere where people tried to edit it, I think in the end people just fudged it by creating a new image over the top and adjusting that, you should be able to use these sidebar mods as a guide: [FM15] Sidebar Mods Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
poma Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 How do I change or edit the background/boxes/panels? -has to be the 'match overview.xml' and it points to "boxes\bordered\match" but why is it so dark when other boxes isn't?

michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 At the top of the match overview is this line: <container class="bordered_box" appearance="boxes/custom/match/background/paper"> you can either remove the appearance bit and it will act as a normal bordered box or you can can the appearance or edit the linked graphic.

wkdsoul Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I want to move the scoreboard (match title bar score.xml) to the centre instead of at the left side as it is? How? the container info should have offset="xx" number in the horizontal and vertical you can play around with to shift it around. As long as you move all them all with the same value you should be able to move it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just "tactics overview panel". in that xml, there should be an icon_flags=" xxx" near the pitch_with_tactics line... you can use that to select what you want in the icon image. Have a look in the 'tactics screen' thread, Bantams has uploaded his tactics overview panel.xml. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
