You have to use the latest widget for this part, it was changed during the FM23 so you're using some old widget here. 

You have to update the <!--Stats/Squad Comparison section--> within the 'player scout reports analysis subpanel.xml'

Hi, I made my own custom skin from base skins,  wannachup and some from sources on this forum. I have a problem with the touchline tablet, the size of the touchline table always resets when I hide it and then show it again. I've been searching in this forum about this problem, maybe I missed it.

Has anyone experienced this and found a solution?

I would say you have a different format set in the game preferences. That's something you can change without skinning.

yes, sorry, should write it. 

these are affected by two files from the panels/award:

1. person award details winner inbox panel - that's for the 1st place

2. person award details placed inbox panel - that's for the 2nd and 3rd place

You have to change the 'red_replacement' or the container class, depending on the file within your skin - line 7 <container class="inner_contrast_box" red_replacement="FM purple dark"> - that's in the default file.

I, for example, had just a 'inner_subtle_box' without the 'red_replacement' so it's without some specific colour. But maybe I will change it. 

The same is possible to do with the manager awards in the manager award details winner/placed inbox panel.xml

There is a pre match panel the one you on looks like tactics with embedded section tabs panel xml file found in the panels\match folder but I'm not sure if that controls the pre match header 

[keysi]

it's 'match day header panel.xml', you will have the whistle icon here too probably.

is there a way to change commentary text colours to primary and secondary team colours? at the moment it seems like its a new feature on fm 24 that all teams in match commentary text will either have white or black fonts, example Arsenal have red and black in match commentary text, should be red and white, i play with scunthorpe, ive changed their colours in pre game editor (text) to claret (background)  and light blue (foreground) and it works on every tab and box and looks great but however on match commentary text it shows claret and white and also flashes when goals are scored in claret and white, so is there a way to change this?? anybody know which file that controls this? i play with customized base 24 transperent skin and everything is working fine but as i said match commentary text have a new feature and i would like to get the classical look with correct team colours, any help would be much appreciated

ive download from fm 24 resource archiver following things, panels, skins, graphics and settings and i cant find any file named commentary widget, however i can find it on a line in match commentary file in the panels folder but honestly not sure what to do and even if theres an commentary widget file im not sure when it comes to coding and how to do it properly and where to do it, but if you can just let me know where to find the correct commentary widget i can try and compare with fm 22 and see if theres any difference

[keysi]

If you open the 'match commentary.xml', it tells you what graphics file it uses. 

You can also find both foreground/background commentary colours in the default fm colours.xml, and place it in the settings.xml and change the RGB.

thank you guys so much for the quick replies! ive found those lines in base skin 24 advanced settings.xml file and the lines were not in the transperent settings.xml one. now the question is what values do i put in the rgb to have correct team colours for all teams in match commentary?

sorry its me again but comparing fm 22 default fm colours.xml and and fm 24, those lines with "neutral commentary foreground/background share the same rgb values, and in fm 22 i didnt have this problem, surely there has to be some coding addition to fm 24 that does the white and black foreground text in match commentary?

my match commentary widget.xml looks like this and is slightly different then the above match commentary.xml, but dont think this is causing any issues and its hindering me from having the desired foreground text colour

            <widget class="picture" file="boxes/custom/match/commentary/bar" id="cmbi" rthr="85" colour="neutral commentary background">
                  <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" />

Maybe the graphics are different. 

This is from the FM22 vs this is from FM24

 

But maybe I'm wrong and it's more simple. 

You can also set the commentary settings in Preferences but I assume that's not something that you would change.

The last thing is that it's changed somewhere else in the skin you are using. I'm using the default 'match commentary.xml' and it works as usual with the primary/secondary colours.

He wants to edit text colour, not the bars.

Commentary text is white or black only in FM24 and it's not optional for some reason.

has he unticked the "use plain colours for commentary text" in the preferences ?

this will show team colours if unticked 

if yes.

maybe he can change these in the settings

<colour name="neutral commentary foreground"             value="rgb(255,255,255)"/>
    <!-- foreground colour for neutral commentary -->
    <colour name="neutral commentary background"             value="rgb(21,22,23)"/>

Yes exactly! That is my issue Ceyvol. Plain colours thing in preferences is unticked. The commentary bar are working correctly (background text colour) after my pre game editing but not the text colours (foreground text colour) because its probably coded into fm 24 to only have white and black text in match commentary foreground colour . 

I can also add that ive updated my skin from the picture above and ive got that thin line of yellow colour around the bar and that looks good tbf but the text is more important to me to be yellow in this case and ofc that every team (at least the ones i edit) should have correct foreground colour in text and not just white or black

<!-- background colour for neutral commentary -->

 

"Use plain colours for commentary text" option actually affects bars, not text (or it affects both, but since black&white text is set permanently, we don't see a difference, either option is unticked or ticked).

Colour settings won't solve this issue. I guess you can change text colour with that, but it still will be static colour, not club's defined colour.
