That's not possible in the way that the match 'in between highlights panel' is set in my skin because I 'deactivated' this part. In the default skin, this part on the left side is "notable events", there is also the dugout part and the touchline tablet panel. But I have only the touchline tablet. So, you would have to revert the match in between highlights to default to have this. But I don't like how the default files (don't) work.

alright, that was the reason why I was also confused :-) I just checked the right file and the card actions buttons are here but there's a simple/stupid issue with the ID. Go to the skin folder/panels/club and find the 'scouting overview panel.xml', scroll down to line 131 and there's select_event="epsl". It has to be changed to select_event="ePSL". Save the file and reload the skin. (the green highlighted widget are the action buttons). I just did this and it works. Thanks for spotting this.

There's no issue or problem. You are only on a different screen. This screen is Scouting/Overview (picture number 1), the one where you can make quick actions like Make offer etc. is in the second tab - Scouting Centre. That's the same as in the default skin...

I made a mistake and placed the folder with textures elsewhere, this is how it should look after @ohmegamega's support

It will never look the same if you have a different resolution/screen than myself so you will always have to adapt it. Also, the Windows Zoom option plays a big part in how the FM looks like. it's straight at the top of the player overview panel. The first number is the top row, number 1 (both) is for the dividers, -485 is the middle row and the last number 220 is the height of the bottom row.

As I can see, you merged it to some different skin with a different height of the match title bar, so you should start with changing the hight of the match title bar... 1. panels/team/team squad and there is a container with the team facts. 2. panels/player/player overview and there is a widget with the horizontal divider (there are more than one so be aware of what you will delete including the size of the layout). You can also adjust the height of the middle row so the bottom row will be smaller. Do you play in the Windowed mode? Do you mean this? It's the same font (the whole skin uses the same font), but the font is only a smaller size to fit it here. You would have to edit the 'match player stats properties' or 'match properties' (it depends where this column is)

Before & after

UPDATE DECEMBER 12, 2023 Skin edits since the main version release: DOWNLOAD V2 The original post is on the CoffeehouseFM.com website. As always when updating the skin - quit the game. Go to the Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2024/skins and delete (or backup) the original version of the skin before you copy/paste the downloaded updated version. Also, don’t forget to clear the cache folder in the App data and don’t forget it’s like a new skin with the updated config file so the colours of the attributes will be changed to default.

This is from my save with Perugia right now in Serie C. I'm using my own picture on the start screen so I can see changes only during matches. t

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.

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.

Finishing some small tweaks and there will be an updated version next week - around 30 tweaks since the release. For example, edited pre-match tactical advice screen or edited match caption small panel and more.

It's part of the 'match score area panel.xml' - you probably didn't copy/paste all the required files. It depends on what skin you use. ---- All sorted within this my question. The height has to be edited in that 'pre-match tactical advice.xml' where the 'test screen size attachment' is. And the right side container is within the 'pre match backroom advice news panel.xml'.

'Pre match tactical advice.xml' question: I'm trying to make small edits to this page. As you can see, I changed the vertical alignment to "top" instead of "middle" compared to the default skin. 1. I want to make the Opposition Report and the Tactical advice containers higher. Does someone know how? 2. I would like to edit the 'Pre-Match Tactical Advice" container as the buttons on the right side are aligned over the one box of advice in the top right corner. This part is at the bottom of the pre match tactical advice.xml but I was unable to find the right file. The 'id="bkRA"... <container class="main_transparent_box_no_margin" id="bkRA" navigation_container="true" default_focus="true"> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" apply_to_children="true" /> </container> This is the whole file. If someone knows how to edit the height, it would be nice to know. Thanks. pre match tactical advice.xml

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

It will be in the match title bar.xml where the instant result is.

I'm not too much into the animations in the skin and I deleted them from several parts of my skin. But I edited the match caption small.xml file recently, and I'm using this fade animation here. <animation class="fade_animation" start_value="0" end_value="1" duration="3" delay="0.1" end_mode="hold_auto_reverse" trigger_id="hidden" trigger_start="false" trigger_end="true"/> Can you tell me what affects how long the caption will stay active? When I increase 'delay', it means how fast/slow it will appear. Is it a 'duration'? I thought it was always the same.

Just open the tactics screen during the match and go back after clicking on the cancel button. This sometimes happens after reloading skin during the match.

there is a folder named 'comps' in the panels/match. It's for licensed competitions so you have to delete it inside these too.

Great work

Hi, I'm not sure if it's related to the skin, everything is possible for sure. Maybe try to upload the crash dump and other files to SI if they can see something in it. Maybe they can find out if it's related to the skin. I usually had/have some crash dump only because of my own mistake within the code but when I play the game as usual without editing the skin, I don't remember when I had some crash dump for the last time. I have my MSI laptop for 7 years already btw. so I don't have a modern-quality laptop or PC either. Also, I don't think there are some demanding parts of the skin like high-quality graphic files or something like that. As I said, everything is possible but I'm not sure how to help.

Maybe try '<flags id="use_format" value="very_short" />'. It works with the nationality column within the person properties but I'm not 100% sure.

You probably didn't delete the appearances correctly... open that file I wrote about. locate line 39 starting with <!-- Pitch --> and delete it completely. Copy this code and paste it instead of the deleted part above. save the file, restart the game and it will look like this. <!-- Pitch --> <widget class="pitch_with_player_positions" id="ppip" height="175" vertical="false" pitch_alignment="centre, can_scale" pitch_draw_goals="true" pitch_draw_markings="false" show_position_strength="false" hide_player_positions="true" pitch_show_names="false" pitch_show_names_as_hint="true" pitch_draw_grass="true" pitch_line_colour="disabled" pitch_touchline_width_percentage="1" pitch_override_icon_size="2"> <!-- Set the icon to use for people on the pitch. The icon will first look for a size that matches the pitch's size, for instance 'pitch/icons/kit/tiny/kit' or 'pitch/icons/kit/medium/kit'. If an icon for the size category is not found it will try the base path: pitch/icons/kit/kit. This means that if you want to use an icon on a pitch that will only ever be one size you can just provide the base and not worry about the tiny/small/medium/large size categories --> <string id="pitch_kit_icon" value="pitch/icons/dots" /> </widget>

What does the structure look like, @MAsterix85? Be sure you don't have the subfolder...

non player attributes panel.xml, you have to export the original default panels from the Resource Archiver. There was a change in non player attributes as the set piece attribute was added plus set piece preferences so you have to update it if you use the files from FM23 (or older).
