I have a problem adding a background because it is always on top of other things. In my understanding, I would have to set it up like that: <container class="background" file="etc"> <container with different contents> .... </container> </container> I think I have to set up the background container first, because it stretches across the whole screen and it contains all other items. Am I thinking wrong? What do I have to change? (the background picture is showing, that's not the problem)

1. What is the name of this panel, please? I want to make a career stats widget WITH transfer fees and avg rating. Can't seem to find this big panel, only the small ones that are already used in the player overview.

Thanks! This is basically what I exchanged the not so happy missus with last weekend Come to think of... I understand neither her nor the <layout> tag. Thanks! I will download it immediately!

@_Ben_ Excuse my ignorance... what skin is that? The graphic for the titles look great!

I am trying to change the player profile overview to my liking. I know we don't use the word here but the one regard that E* Manager wasn't inferior to Football Manager is the graphics department. Are there any similar office-style skins that I could refer to? Here is a screenshot of what I'm working on, obviously work in progress, shameless copypasta of 1001 skins (only personal use, no release intended), poorly formatted. It took me most part of the weekend to understand the basics of how skins work and the progress is frustrating. However, I feel I'm slowly reaching a stage where I can implement things the way I want. I wish I could master the <layout> tag Right now I'm working on the container with the market value and contract details... I would like it to look like that: Thank you for all the help and support so far. I have learned a lot by reading in this forum! Have a nice evening everybody!

Thank you for the response! It really helped me. I didn't realize that there are xml-files to go with the graphics. Also, thanks to @_Ben_! Would I add the box as a <container appearance=""... etc. or as a <widget appearance=""...?

Is there an attribute to make containers have 1. rounded edges 2. a shadow on the right and bottom side? Or would I do it via a background-png? I tried it via <container class="plain_box" appearance="boxes/paper3"> and also tried height, width, size, minimum_size etc. but the png does not get scaled to the size of the container. Does anybody have an idea? Thanks in advance!

FYI: I progressed in the savegame and after the new contract comes into effect, the player unhapiness is gone.

Is there an option to add all players or are you seriously adding every player at the club via the 4 clicks I mentioned above? Don't get me wrong, I want to like the feature, I like that I can set up a scouting focus. I just don't know why they changed the way how you add players. For now, I will resort to my Excel list.

I agree, a potentially great addition with which many seem to have trouble with. You need far more clicks than in FM22 and you can never see all possible players for a position in one list. I always have the feeling of missing players. I'm not gonna go to the U19, check the ones with the highest potential and then go to squad planner and click on New --> U19 --> Position --> Name to add them. They should add the overview from last year where you could add players with a click on (+) or remove them with (-) and introduce an add-to-squadplanner-option in the player context menu. THEN squad planner will start to live up to it's potential. It's so sad to see my most anticipated feature fall so short of expectations. I know, this was not your point, you were just listing new features, but anyway, I needed to express my current feelings about that feature again. Nothing to do with you

Dear FM team! Thank you for this years FM, I like it, as always! Might log some bug reports and feature requests in the coming days but just a short feedback that is directly linked to the new feature "squad planner". I really like the feature, it was the one that got me most excited before beta release because it finally replaces my excel lists... Here are some thoughts: Please let us add custom views to the screen. I need to compare e.g. the determination of my players here Please add a "notes column" (for any view in the game) where we can add own content. Maybe even a rating so we can personally rate the players from 1-5 stars and then sort the players by our rating because our opinion might differ from the assistant manager's (it should not replace the assisstant managers rating). I must admit that I find the way to add players to the squad planner very unhandy. I have to add each player individually with multiple clicks and I never have a full overview of all the players at my disposal. I get the feeling I miss players when planning. On the squad depth screen from last year I could easily add/remove players from a list via +/- buttons. This was way faster. There should be an option that every player only shows up once so that you don't use them for two positions. Possible bug: If I move a player the reserve team to the first team, he disappears from the squad depth screen and can't be added until I advance a day. That is unhandy because I like to plan everything on the first day of the season.
