Not if you just add it to the panels/match folder. If you want to use this scoreboard for all competitions, then you will need to add the files to the folders in the panels/match/comps folder

Does anyone know if the Cup Draw screen for the UEFA competitions are controlled by the same panels for domestic cup draws? I have edited the cup draws for the FA Cup to my liking but when I am on the cup draw screen for the Europa Conference League, the text for the teams are black and hard to see. Hope that makes sense

Thanks for that, I have managed to sort it now

Which xml file controls this Top Spenders news item? I am wanting to change the colour of the bars that show the amount a club or league has spent during the transfer window.

I have managed to edit the cup draw (FA Cup at least) screen to how I want. I am struggling to find where to edit the Live Updates box and text that appears at the top of the screen. I have taken a screenshot below of what I mean as I would like to change the colour of the box from purple and ideally the text too. I think it is the competition/competition cup draw draw panel.xml but I can't seem to change the text or the box colour.

Looking good so far. I've always liked the clean style of your skins and they have been an inspiration in creating my own skin

I usually skip past the recruitment meeting screens when playing the game but thought I would attempt to edit the white text that appears on these screens. Does anyone know which file controls this screen and the white text in the highlighted red boxes?

Hopefully they will include a light skin for FM25. I have got it working pretty well but there are a few areas that still have white text on lighter backgrounds. Can cope with these but I'll keep posting the ones I struggle to fix to see if anyone knows how to fix there. I'm sure some of the panels will probably be hardcoded and can't be edited.

They don't make it easy to find and edit these panels

I have been struggling to edit this screen (seems like a lot of the issues with white text are in the inbox news items) to change the colour of the players on this screen. I have narrowed it down to the inbox content with top youth academies panel.xml and think the code that controls it is below. <translation id="text" translation_id="538865" type="use" value="Star Graduate[COMMENT: AREA: dev centre; SUB-AREA: youth intake; NOTE: highlights the star player in the intake group]" /> </record> </list> <list id="column_widget_properties"> <record index="0" alignment="centre" /> <record index="1" alignment="left,centre_y" /> <record index="2" alignment="left,centre_y" multiline="true" /> <record index="3" alignment="left,centre_y" /> <record index="4" alignment="centre_x,centre_y" /> </list> <list id="column_table_properties"> <record index="0" id="Rank" /> <record index="1" id="club" sort_disabled="true" /> <record index="2" id="divi" sort_disabled="true" /> <record index="3" id="StGr" sort_disabled="true" /> <record index="4" sort_disabled="true" id="Chan" /> </list> </widget> </container> I have tried adding colour="black" to the various <record index> sections but it doesn't seem to change the colour of the text.

It probably can't be edited if you didn't manage to find a fix for it

I have edited most of the manager timeline screen to how I want it to look. I can't seem to find which file controls the bottom section that shows the team names that you have previously managed. I would like to change the text colour of the clubs from white to black, which is shown below.

Does anyone know which panel controls this screen? I'd like to change the text from white to black that is in the red box.

This seems to have fixed the issue. Looks like I needed to use "gradient_upper_colour" values to set the colour of the font.

Thanks for getting back to me on this. I use a custom font and I have checked the colour coding from this and it looks to be ok. I have also changed the font for the attributes to the "title" font and it still shows as black. My custom font that I am using is coded like this. <record> <string id="file_name" value="sansbold.xml"/> <integer id="fill_colour_red" value="240" /> <integer id="fill_colour_green" value="240" /> <integer id="fill_colour_blue" value="240" /> <integer id="fill_colour_alpha" value="255" /> <list id="shadows"> <record> <integer id="x_offset" value="1"/> <integer id="y_offset" value="1"/> <integer id="blur_radius" value="1"/> <integer id="colour_red" value="0"/> <integer id="colour_green" value="0"/> <integer id="colour_blue" value="0"/> <integer id="colour_alpha" value="200"/> </record> </list> </record> I am not sure if there is an issue somewhere else in the text.xml file or something.

I have been looking around the forum for a fix to this issue but can't find anything anywhere. Not sure if it is a bug or if something has changed as this never used to be an issue until FM24. I use attribute boxes on player and staff profiles and the values for the excellent threshold which seems to be 16-20 appear in black, while the rest appear in white. I would like them all to appear in white which it used to do in previous FM's. The code I use is below. <!-- Attribute value --> <record index="2" id="val" sort_disabled="true" column_alignment="centre" right="0"> <record id="widget_info" class="attribute_label" alignment="centre" font="attributs2" style="semi_bold" multiline="false" use_attribute_colour_as_bg="false" appearance="boxes/custom/attributes/paper"/> </record>

Yes, no problem. The code now looks like this. <!-- Other players --> <widget class="table" id="ptbl" mode="fill_rows, stripe_rows, hide_headings" layout="-1, 50" auto_size="vertical"> <list id="column_widget_properties"> <record indx="0" colour="black" secondary_icon_colour="black" /> </list> </widget>

I'm not sure why it was set like this. I just got the xml file from the default FM panels after extracting them using the Resource Archiver Managed to sort it though with the suggestion you made

None of those seem to work unfortunately

I am struggling to edit the following screen which shows the list of players from the training week in review. I have found the xml file that controls this which seems to be widgets/club training performers list autosize widget.xml and located the following code in this file. <!-- Other players --> <widget class="table" id="ptbl" mode="fill_rows, stripe_rows, hide_headings" layout="-1, 50" auto_size="vertical" colour="text"/> </container> I have added the colour="text" but this doesn't seem to change the text of the players from white to black. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong and how to solve this?

Thanks @snowofman that has solved the issue

Which panel controls this screen? I would like to change the colour of the purple areas.

Don't think this is a light skin specific issue, but I have found that when I use attribute boxes for player attributes, any value from 16 - 20 appears black, while all other values below 16 are white. I have set the font colour to white in the xml, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. This has only happened on FM24 and was never an issue in FM23 or previous versions.

Thanks for those suggestions @GIMN. I have made the changes and the squad planner issue is now fixed. I'll wait until the recruitment focus screen is next back up to see if that issue is fixed. For the news items with the player name I'll have a look at what you suggested and see if that resolves the issue. I'm sure there will be more things that crop up when I get to them but thanks for your help with these.

Every year I edit my own personal skin which I don't release as it is a mixture of panels taken from other skins and edited to my own standards. The skin I use is a light skin and every year there are usually a lot of areas that need editing which is mainly changing the colour of the text from white to something more readable. I have created this thread so I can put up any screenshots of areas where I come up against these issues and cannot figure out myself how to fix them. Below are the issues I have come across so far. 1. How to change the text in the red box from white to "text" colour. 2. How to change the text of the player from white to "text" colour. 3. What controls the graphic for the box below that is in the red box. I would like to use a different graphic. 4. Which file controls the players name on this screen. I would like to change this from white.
