You can change that "greens" colors  in settings file

<colour name="pitch_box_background"        and             <colour name="style_background"       

For the size pitch you can change values of it in pitch with tactics container placed in tactics folder                 

That worked. Now it is just the green bar under the subs and the bar at the top. Any ideas?

And, as far as the red fade goes, that changes depending on the clubs primary colour.  I don't suppose you know how to make the pitch fit the pattern too?

I think you can adjust the values off it in pitch with tactics container

The other "greens" in FM22 i changed in those tactic slot tab container inside tactics folder

tactics/tactics overview side panel, line 80 - the panel is named "top bar"

In the settings file: colour name="picking player available" is controlling the green bar under the subs for me, although I can't remember if that's something I've changed tor reference it!

And am I right in thinking that, if the skin I am using doesn't have 'tactics overview side panel', it is using the default?

yep

[GIMN]

Is there a way to change/hide the drop down arrow on selector panels?

I've been able to add an icon next to it, but not to replace it.  I've tried draw_arrow="false" (this appeared as a flag in popup_buttons_actions class file, but had not effect).  Maybe I need to try another class to popup_button?

Maybe i'm to dumb but how do i get rid off the "strippes" in the background pattern?

I like the "torn paper" but not the strippes

yeah, but maybe you can do some creative photoshop with the tearing.

[EnigMattic1]

I now have this:

Is it 'tactic slot button picker' that changes the remaining green (1,2 442 etc)? Or is that another file? I have looked in there, but there doesn't appear to be anything colour related other than a line that has:

<widget class="popup_button" id="opti" auto_size="horizontal"  red_replacement="secondary" colour="primary" secondary_icon_colour="primary" fixed="true">

    </widget>

Thank you. The teams that have white as secondary colour you can see them because they are white (example: Arsenal) but in teams like mine (Siena) or Dortmund (as the secondary colour is black) i can´t see them.

I want to change the colour and make it a little more thicker

Does anyone know how to add a background selector? I have got as far as the icon on the titlebar and having it work as far as I can see the available backgrounds. If I select a background however, the background doesn't change. Am I right in assuming that this has something to do with the 'client object browser'?

no clue, but it should be possible to figure out if you have a skin with a selector working, then just compare it to yours

i'm not even sure which skin that has a selector, not really been paying attension to other skins of late

Oh its a colossal pain in the arse. Give me 15 and i'll make a base skin for you

put these into your graphics folder for the skin. 

primary and secundary.rar

The "only" bad thing about it is that this mode change to secondary all the horizontal dividers that use this divider.

guys, do you know how to remove this little face here from the pop-up menu?

@bluestillidie00 @EnigMattic1 Could one of you break this process down for someone who has never touched anything regarding skins and simply wants to add either 1 different background* to an existing skin or this option to select them? Not my skin, just any skin that doesn't have it by default. Like, i now have this downloaded "base skin", what next? 

 

*On a skin that doesn't have a default background set in the graphic/background folder (if that were there i could just replace the file ...).

tbh it's one of the hardest things you can do. 

First thing you'd want to do is download a program like notepad++, it just easier to use than anything else. You'll want to open panels/client_object/client object browser.xml of both skins, and paste the background selector code near the top from the base skin, into the same location of your own skin. If you Ctrl+F and search "transparency" you can also mess around with the transparency values on a scale of 0-1. 

After this, if you ctrl+f and search for "BS", there will be a section of code which controls the button, this also needs to go into your other file. 

Everything other file in the base skin can be copied straight across. 

Apologies if none of that made sense, going off memory in bed and i literally woke up 10 minutes ago

Been playing around with parts from the FM22 skin I used and took the stadium overview panel and put it into FM23. It looks like this:

The problem is, 'full screen image doesn't work (and didn't on FM22 either):

This is the code in the xml:

<container id="info">
            <translation id="title" type="use" value="Full Screen Image[COMMENT: top level menu title for team information screens]" />
                <layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" alignment="top,extend" layout="60,-1,110" offset="0" gap="10"/>
                <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" apply_to_children="true" inset="0"/>
            
                <!--stadium name        
                <container height="60">
                <layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" alignment="top,extend" offset="0" gap="4"/>
                <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" apply_to_children="true" inset="0"/>

Does anyone know how the personality is populated here?

	<container>
		<attachment_group class="vertical_arrange_autosize" vertical_gap="2" />

		<!-- personality -->
		<widget class="text" font="title" auto_size="vertical" alignment="left, centre_y">
			<translation id="text" translation_id="247713" type="use" value="Personality" />
		</widget>

		<widget class="text" id="psty" spec="text" auto_size="vertical" alignment="left, centre_y" />
	</container>

I can see it comes from the last widget but I can't find psty anywhere with regards to it being a property, I don't understand how it populates the widget with the value.

I am pretty sure the 'id="psty" is the code in the skin for Personality, there is probably another file (Person Properties.xml) that has a list/entries of all the codes.

I am not sure what the translation ID is, as I am still new to skinning myself.

FWIW I downloaded and use a program called Astrogrep, you can type in a search string and it will search all the files in the directory you have chosen, it's been handy to figure out where things are.  Not that it helps me make sense of such things, but still...

Its there to represent personality in this instance but its not a property.  The property in the club properties.xml for personality is Csca so I don't understand how it knows what it is
