If you are, you still need the other folder, as it inherits just about everything from it. p.s. I'd missed a bit out of the background selector (cheers radestock) on the left hand side version, to fix it just copy the contents of this zipfile into your skins fodler, and say yes when it asks you if you want to overwrite anything.

jptykes Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hi, I used Aventyr for FM08 which had a feature that created background logos from normal logos (I think - I certainly had no background logos but they were present in the skin). Is there anyway to get this skin to achieve the same effect in the lower titlebar area? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyway to get this skin to achieve the same effect in the lower titlebar area? Yes. You'll need to tinker with some xml though. First of all make a copy of titlebar.xml in rinnakkain\panels Edit titlebar.xml, and find this text - <!-- background logo --> Remove the container below it (it should be about 20 lines, and stops when you reach <!-- lower titlebar effect overlay -->) Then where the container was, put the following in: <container height="60" width="190"> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="60"/> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="5"/> <!-- Main Logo --> <widget class="picture" id="rgtF" scale_picture="true" transparency="0.25" keep_aspect_ratio="true" height="180" width="180" image_alignment="centre"> <layout class="centre_in_parent_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0"/> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="0"/> <attachment class="get_global_attachment" get_property="mnpc" set_property="file" skip_if_null="false"/> <attachment class="get_global_attachment" get_property="mprc" set_property="srec" skip_if_null="false"/> <attachment class="get_global_attachment" get_property="bkcl" set_property="rrep"/> <attachment class="get_global_attachment" get_property="fcol" set_property="grep"/> <attachment class="get_global_attachment" get_property="ocol" set_property="brep"/> </widget> </container> Save the file and reload the skin.

jptykes Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Perfect!! Thanks for that. I'd tried looking for it myself by comparing the xml in various files between the skins but I wasn't having much luck. Love the skin btw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
suikoden Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Very nice skin Captain. Just a question though, in the screenshot of your squad there are tabs for best position, assists and so on that aren't there by default. And they arent there when I use your skin either. I remember you could edit the panels team squad and add them. However there isn't that file in your skins panel folder and I don't know how to make one from scratch. Is that file in your graphics/panel folder? Would you be able to send it to me or teach me how to do it? It would be much much appreciated. Also do files in graphics/panel folder override skin ones? I forgot since I haven't done any of that stuff in fm08 for months and even then I could only do a little bit and was mostly clueless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot since I haven't done any of that stuff in fm08 for months and even then I could only do a little bit and was mostly clueless. I keep things like that in a seperate panels folder, on the same level as the skins folder, as they need a decent screen resolution (1600x1200 and up is best). I've zipped up my extra panels fodler (there's a few other little changes, mostly to do with logo sizes on news items and the match screen, as well as radestock's mod to remove the 3d kits), which you can get here. Just extract the contents into your documents\sports interactive\football manager 2009 folder, and reload your skin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

7.Ronaldo Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hi. Very nice skin but I cannot seem to access the panels file you uploaded either. Any chance of uploading it again? I have been editing the skin to suit my own personal taste but missed one bit and cannot for the life of me figure out what I missed and where it lives within the directory. I have posted the screenshot below. Would you be able to point me in the right direction? I am also looking at adding the squad screen icon to the bar at the top. It is present on the default skin and makes things much easier considering how the new menu operates. Would it be a big job to add this do you reckon? http://img243.imageshack.us/my.php?image=28711343nh0.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscotti Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 This skin is really nice, but not quite up to the high standards you set yourself last season. Main gripe I have currently is the "quicklinks" menu - I personally prefer having single-click links to my main pages, and 2 clicks seems to take the value away from using the term "quick" to describe them...

cmontheloknow Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Right, got the skin loaded, as well as the additional panels and I really like it. Just a few points I've noticed - the news mouse overlay information at the top seems to disappear occasionally. Also, when I click 'Discipline Player For' I don't have any action - it just says in grayed out writing 'no action'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The discipline player action is nothing to do with the skin, I've just tried it and got no action, then reloaded the default skin and got the same result. What I meant by "news mouse overlay" was that the news headlines flash up at the top of the screen and by holding the mouse over the headline the story pops up. I found that if I clicked anywhere on the screen to another page (say to look at a player) then the headlines did not pop up again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only discipline a player if they done something wrong. So unless they just been sent off or something it will be greyed out. Nowt to do with the skin. Been like this since FM2008.
