Alexpuk2002 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 This may be an easy one for a lot of skinners, but how do I change the colour of the save game graphic? I have included a pic below, but I am wanting to change the colour of the progress bar and also the paper.png that is above and below the progress bar.

jcc1986 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I was wondering if (see picture below) the text marked red can also be removed so one only sees the buttons on the far left of the screen. I've seen some screenshots of people not having the descriptions next to the buttons, but within my game currently they only remove when I make the screen smaller (which of course I do not want). Thanks for your input! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another question then, just for the sake of it... I currently have the size of text and images at 85%. Could this be adjusted to even less? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan045 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 On 12/25/2016 at 12:52, michaeltmurrayuk said: You can also just take the 'manager profile panel preferences' xml from the panels folder of FM16 and place it in the panels/human folder for your FM17 skin and it will re-add that box to the preferences screen. As its a quick change here is the file; fm17managerpic.zip Just unzip that and place the human folder in the panels folder for the base skin you are using, then reload the skin and go to the Preferences -> Interface Screen and the option to assign a manager picture should be back. That should work for both full mode and touch skins, though I've only checked that it puts an image on the manager profile screen, I haven't tested it to see if it replaces the manager image elsewhere or if it causes any issues in other places. I used this and it worked fine on the 17.2 version but doesn't work with 17.3 winter update. Any reason for this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hxp Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 How can i edit the opacity of the floating match panels (widgets)? I tried my luck in photoshop with pretty much all black png files but it didn't change the above. Do i have to edit an xml? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan377 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I've had a search around the forum and can't find an answer for this so not sure if anyone can assist however, does anyone know if it's possible to edit the size of the facepack image on the 'news' screen? I'm using the dark base skin, realise I may have to create a new panel and fiddle around with the values a little bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 The image on that panel is generated dynamically by the game depending on what item is shown, it should be possible to resize it but you would need to edit the xml files found in the panels/dynamic_images folder, there is a different file for each combination that can be displayed. Then in each of those xml files that calls a player face locate the line that looks like this: <widget class="object_portrait_picture" id="log1" image_alignment="bottom" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" wants_mouse_events="false"/> And adding a height="X" and width="X" (might only need one as the as the other commands will tell it to keep its shape) bit to it should work, replacing the X with the values you want so it should look something like this: <widget class="object_portrait_picture" id="log1" image_alignment="bottom" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" width="X" height="X" wants_mouse_events="false"/> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan377 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Many thanks Michael, really appreciate the help Another quick Q. In previous versions a custom skin would show the stadiums of the team in question (Everton in the above example), would this be possible in this years version? I've tried copying a few panels across from FM16 with no luck. (The stadiums are downloaded from the FMC mini stadium superpack). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 They should do, there are a few skins with them in, though the files might need updating and will need to go in the new locations for FM, should be a couple of threads around with instructions.

Ryan377 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Cheers Michael, massive help as always. I've found the Vitrex skin which has these panels in allowing the stadiums to show. The two panels that help with the showing of the stadium are 'competition news image panel' and 'competition news panel'. The first screenshot below is with the 'competition news image panel' only but doesn't seem to show the stadiums on some of the news items (e.g. the main ones on the screen). When I put the 'competition news panel' in the panels folder and reload the skin, it does show the stadium on all the news items but messes around with the layout of the screen. I guess there'll be a certain part of that .xml which controls the stadiums shown behind the main news stories allowing me to delete the rest out so that the news screen configures correctly. Do you know which parts I would need to delete out/save? If not, no problems.

When I put the 'competition news panel' in the panels folder and reload the skin, it does show the stadium on all the news items but messes around with the layout of the screen. I guess there'll be a certain part of that .xml which controls the stadiums shown behind the main news stories allowing me to delete the rest out so that the news screen configures correctly. Do you know which parts I would need to delete out/save? If not, no problems. Screen 1 with just 'competition news image panel' included in the skin Try replacing this code from the default 'competition new panel' xml file: <!-- Dynamic news image --> <container id="dynI" width="400"> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" layout_children="true" /> <layout class="centre_in_parent_attachment" alignment="horizontal" inset="0" /> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" /> </container> With this code from the Vitrex skin as it looks like that is what is grabbing the stadium backgrounds instead of the dynamic backgrounds: <!-- News image --> <container width="400"> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" layout_children="true" /> <layout class="centre_in_parent_attachment" alignment="horizontal" inset="0" /> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" /> <widget class="competition_news_image_panel" id="impl" alignment="top" height="250" /> </container> You might need to mess around with the height and width values and the alignment to get it to fit correctly.

Cheers for all the help Michael. I tried this and also messed around with some of the numbers as well but was unable to correct it so that the panels beneath would show properly, I imagine this is then a conflict with another panel. I'm sure I can live without it though as I'm quite stumped now! Many thanks again for the help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaeltmurrayuk Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 It was removed because it was an oversight that adding the files from a previous version re-enabled it, however for why the feature was fully removed from the game I have no idea. (there should be a couple of other threads in the other parts of the forum about the issue, but I don't know if a reason was given in any of them).

jeff.fit82 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 really cant understand this thing!! to Edit the Fonts "The font settings are now controlled by the various files located inside the fonts folder. For the base skins I have included all the default font files to save you having to go look for them. To edit the fonts its just a case of changing the various variables declared in the xml files, whilst to change the actual font you copy the font you want to use to the font folder and then update the font names in the xml files to match your new font." dunno which files should i change, where to find it...can you guys point me?

Alexpuk2002 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 This is quite a quick easy one, but what graphic controls this menu? I am wanting to change the colour of it but not sure where the graphic is located. I have highlighted it with the red box in the pic below. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 @Alexpuk2002 By Default it is controlled by the 'standard_button' variable declared in the settings file, however that also controls the colour of the various buttons. If you only want to change the dropdown menu colours (don't think you can just change the FM menu dropdown on its own, or at least you cannot do easily) then you need to edit the 'box' xml file found in this location for your skin: \graphics\menus\standard (if it's not present you'll have to extract it from the skins.fmf file and it is found inside the fm-widgets skin, or you can just paste the below code into a new xml file and call it box and save it in the above location): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE propertylist SYSTEM "http://www.sigames.com/dtds/sios/properties.dtd"> <!-- image properties --> <properties> <!-- image borders --> <!-- these determine how many pixels any content is inset from each side of the image --> <!-- (for example, in the case of a button, the content would be the text label) --> <record id="image_borders" left="10" right="10" top="4" bottom="7"/> <!-- image slices determine the points at which the image will be sliced to enable scaling --> <!-- the image will only slice in the directions slicing values are provided for--> <record id="image_slices" left="8" right="8" top="8" bottom="10"/> <colour id="red_replacement" name="standard_button"/> <colour id="green_replacement" name="standard_button_shadow"/> <colour id="blue_replacement" name="standard_button_border"/> </properties> And then just change the values I have highlighted to the colours you want - first one is for the main colour of the button, the second one you can leave, whilst the third one is for the border - you can either assign them to an existing colour name or you can create your own and then declare the RGB values in the settings file.

If you edited the xml files make sure you didn't accidentally remove or edit any of the text colour lines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaeltmurrayuk Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Try manually deleting the cache files (instructions here) if that doesn't work try replacing the Sbold and Bold versions of your font with a different one in case the game is having a problem with the bold versions of your font. (or try copying back the default versions of those fonts) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defforce Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hi, hopefully this wouldn't be considered as necro posting. I've been using the Base Light Skin and was wondering if it's possible to edit the colour values for the In-Match, Role Instructions and Player Attributes panels. The colour have been clashing especially for the instructions and I would love to lighten it up a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colour have been clashing especially for the instructions and I would love to lighten it up a bit. If you want to change it generally (including none match screens) then you should just need to locate these variables in the settings xml file found in settings folder; preselected instruction selected instruction And change the colours to something more readable. If you just want to recolour it on the match screens then you'll need to edit the position instructions panel match and position instructions panel overview match xml files found in the panels/tactics folder though you'll need to extract those files from the game files (instructions here) In those files locate these lines near the top; <colour id="selected_colour" name="selected instruction" /> <colour id="preselected_colour" name="preselected instruction" /> And change the name part to point to a different colour that is more readable.
