Beefster Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Smurfdude! Most welcome - why SI dont employ you rather than '***' is beyond me - you should get paid for this - i'd suggest 75% of players of FM09 will use your skin....24% other....and 1% that rubbish white one that comes with the game - that's the worst skin i've seen in 15 years of playing this game. excellent work. My Beefster's Stadium Superpack (now up to 792 stadium pics) will look great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very good support for your users really that. I think you should find somewhere else to put it or at least recolour it to the opposite of the header background colour.

I'm not going to change every little detail to suit everyones needs if I consider it more hassle than it's worth.

I pasted the following into a text document and saved it as footer.xml and chucked it into the panels folder of the skin: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE panel SYSTEM "http://www.sigames.com/dtds/sios/panel.dtd"> <panel title="footer" height="26"> <!-- main infopanel - contains icons, ticker --> <widget class="picture" id="info" auto_size="vertical" file="interface/footer/bar" cached="true"> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal,top" inset="0"/> </widget> <!-- active area --> <container> <layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" alignment="fill" offset="0" gap="-25" /> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" inset="0" layout_children="true" /> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="4" layout_children="true" /> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" /> </container> <!-- Ticker Area --> <!-- Ticker Bar --> <widget class="text_button" id="tick" standard_spec="text" colour="white" font="fonts/vera" auto_size="all" size="8"> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="right" inset="15" /> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="bottom" inset="5"/> <attachment class="get_global_attachment" get_property="alrt" set_property="text"/> <attachment class="test_global_attachment" get_property="cont" value="-8" set_property="DTCE" skip_if_null="false" skip_if_resetting="false" priority="1"/> <record id="click_event" event_id="GOTO" scid="14"/> <!-- hide this panel if the game isn't set up yet --> <attachment class="test_global_attachment" get_property="scid" value="2" mode="0" set_property="hidn" skip_if_null="false" skip_if_resetting="false"/> </widget> <!-- active area --> <container> <layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" alignment="fill" offset="0" gap="0"/> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" inset="0" layout_children="true" /> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" /> <!-- Breadcrumbs --> <container> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" layout_children="true" /> <!-- Breadcrumbs --> <container id="crum"> <layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" alignment="left" offset="10"/> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="bottom" inset="2" layout_children="true"/> <attachment class="line_up_attachment" get_property="bcmb" submenu_type="bcrm"/> <!-- Arrange the children widgets from left to right, horizontally centrered --> <layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" alignment="left"/> </container> </container> </container> </panel> Also changed attribute colours so they look like this: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

homerjnick Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 So if users download it then they need to remove the underscore. You may want to amend your skin with the footer.xml and the player profile.xml, RAR or ZIP it and make that available for download? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave byrd Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Just a thing i'm gonna mention, you did say 'Feedback and suggestions welcome'.. On the sreenshot ive posted the panel looks as if its been 'pasted' over the exisiting panel. It doesnt fit property and looks a bit odd. Worth mentioning as this skin is superb. Worth considering for any update. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmurfDude Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 I don't want to include the footer as it gets rid of the date in the bottom right.
