Suspect it's the placement of a background or overlay container. 

Cross reference it with the base file or one from a custom skin. 

Been through base skin and transparent, just don't know what I am doing wrong , it has now come up as a non transparent box over the top of the default background i have setup.

I have sorted the main menu one so its transparent but the match engine one is still there. 

Main one has gone.

Ok not 100% sure what you're trying to do here... guessing you want some kind of general overlay which won't effect match and menu...

I'm unsure though as you've got the answer already there, if that's the case, just adjust the transparency on line 28. This seems a bit too simple...

 

Line 40 is the issue you've given everything this overlay. That needs to go. I wouldn't be giving any containers appearances in the client browser. 

 

Using your client browser in my skin with these adjustments gives the overlay (I made it pink for effect) but away from match and menu: 

 

If I've misunderstood and you don't want any overlay just delete primary/paper, it won't matter then.

Easiest way is to export the view and import it in your skin, there is another way of doing it but its pretty complicated

[bosssssss]

but i don't have that , that image i found in the google only xD

Or activate the player picture/mugshot in the person properties.xml and it will be an option within Custom View/General for 99% of all views.

Change the "none" to "play", save and restart the game.

[hyrule_king]

Struggling with getting the sections stripmenu to show all of the options, it seems to cut off the last few on some of the screens , most notably the scouting screen, any recommendations on what alignment settings need changing so it shifts to the left a bit more or even in the middle of the screen?

There's a thread on this not that far down, please search. I've actually provided the code.

That main container needs to be turned into a tabbed container too if that's how you want it. 

Pretty much every player overview panel these days have a tabbed container so search within one of these to see how you need to organise this section 

 

The panel in question here is: widgets/scouting centre report card

 

 

If you don't have this panel in your skin, you need to go back to basics and look at the guides and extract the resource archiver.

Alternatively just 'steal' one from someone else's skin. Many edit this page.

Brasically, you will need to add the code below in panels/tactics/tactics icon info panel overview.xml

You will need to adjust the size according to your taste, do this through inset values.

Further explanations can be found here:

<container>
        <layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" layout="-1, 20" offset="0" gap="2"/>
        <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" inset="1" apply_to_children="true"/>
        <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" />

Sorry for bother again, i'm very noob with skinning, but i'm trying to autosize the panel but i cant.. it's very frustrating

That requires reformatting of the involved tables, row spacing being an obvious one and the text sizes maybe potentially (kinda depends what you want). This will be found within the attributes panel you've linked. Maybe an additional attributes panel too, I'm not sure what has been done with this skin... If you don't have separate attribute panels you will be effecting the player overview as well however (maybe more, I always have separate attribute panels for this reason) so I wouldn't recommend it and to be honest I would also question how good that will look... Seems like potentially a lot of effort (if you're not a skinner) for not a lot. I might consider adding something else in... or maybe condensing it a bit.

Saying that I think it looks alright as is to be fair.

The size of the panel does not change when the "height" and "width" parameters are changed? It's almost impossible to answer something without seeing the code. And why did you even start doing it?

[Nachote912]

player scout reports attributes.xmlattributes panel1.xml

Hi, I have this panels that i took from OPZ but i don't know how to separate more the additional attributes, also i don't know how to separate more the attributes to complete all the box..

maybe the height of the panel is 350, this is set in line 150 of the first file.
and the ratio of the sizes of the panels of the main and additional attributes equal to 11/3 is set in the 2nd line of the 2nd file.

if you want to start changing something in the skins, it's better to start with the default skin.
custom skins can be very difficult to understand.

[Loda]

Tables tend to have set row heights/spacing so regardless of the size of the container they often don't adjust. This is especially true of attribute tables (I had to scramble for something to fill the excess space within mine on the overview..). I'm trying and struggling to think of any table that has automatically adjusted to be honest (vertically, it's a given they will horizontally). 

 

So... 

You might want to look at: Row height and row spacing in the second panel. 

And you may also want to consider increasing the text sizes for the attribute name and value sections, just add size="whatever value suits"  to help it look less sparse.

 

That's the best I can suggest if you're intend on these changes. @Nachote912

 

Although looking back at the screenshot I'm not  convinced that space is entirely allocated to the attributes given the traits are getting cut off. The primary panel needs further investigation for me to be sure, which you've not provided.

hey guys, does anyone have any clue how to edit Goal Net colours for each team??

[RinusFM]

Hii skinners,

I don't know where to ask this without 'necroing' an 2/3 year old topic. I am using FM21, and this week I discovered I could add faces to the match panel widget. I downloaded a generic xml file and it was working lovely. Then I thought lets download a better xml-file from a skin. Works awesome too. Even better. However, I noticed both doesn't display an injury. Cards, goals, etc all fine, but no injuries. When I delete the xml file and it uses the vanilla xml file it works as it should be. I also took a look in the xml files, but can't see anything wrong. Maybe my knowledge is just not good enough. Can anyone push me in the right direction? I am using the base dark skin from michaeltmurrayuk

Thank you so much. Hope to learn a bit more.

Regards,

Marius

ps. Found a widget xml that have injury working. Awesome. Need to delve myself in the code

Real newby question as I am trying to modify a skin I downloaded with some small adjustments to my taste.

What is 'translation id' and where is the 'translation_id' value derived from?

Example:

<translation id="name" translation_id="230024" type="use" value="Goalkeeping" />

I just trying to understand it so I have more of an idea what I am changing.

[lugui]

Would anyone be able to help and please tell me where and how I can edit the highlighted headings?

I got all the others and would like to make it all the same as #1 or even remove them.

 

Thanks in advance.

translation_id is what tells the game how to translate. You can find them all in the file example, in the languages file in your football manager 2023 folder

Thanks, that makes things clearer.

Another question, is there a reference file available that lists all the IDs/values you can reference to pull information from the db for the skin to display?

I see many of these 4 letter codes use for IDs or Properties in the various skin XML files  but can't find them in the languages file.

So it'll depend. If the containers are in a box which supports titles, you can edit the fonts and colours in the paper.xml file

Like so 

If they're just normal font files, just whack a font="title" on them
