Changing the text color at the top of th screen

[Rien102]

Hello skins/mods specialists,

I would need a tiny little bit of help that would have a BIG impact on me.  I am now playing Bognor Regis save and I am color blind.  The default text at the top is very VERY hard to read because of the color (see pic #1).  To be able to read clearly, i need, for example, to go to FA cup screen (see pic #2).  So, the little help would if it is possible for you to tell me how to change ONLY that thing to, let say, black letters.

tks in advance

Easiest thing to do is change the text colours for Bognor - if you're not far in you can use the pre-game editor before starting otherwise if you have it you can use the IGE.

If you don't want to use the editor you can tweak the contrast recolouring to get a colour you can see better but it would affect any teams using the same colour.

From the settings.fmf extract the following three files and copy them into the settings folder for your skin; sidebar colours, accent colours, dark accent colours.

Then in each of those files duplicate one of these lines:

    <record min_hue="0" max_hue="100" min_saturation="0" max_saturation="10" min_lightness="50" max_lightness="100">
      <colour id="accent_colour" red="217" green="217" blue="217" alpha="255"/>
    </record>

And then adjust it to recolour the green colour.

The first line of that code detects any colours within that range and assigns them the RGB value on the second row. So what you need to do is find the hue, saturation and lightness values of the red/blue colour you want to adjust - note that you want the real colour not the adjusted one, you can get the real colours from the text in the kit panel on the club overview screen or from the editors - if you cannot get the HSL values directly then with the colour up press printscreen, load up paint, past the image in, use the colour picker tool to select the colour, click edit colours and you should now get the HSL values.

With the HSL values plug them into the above line setting the min and max values to the same so if you had a hue of 200 you'd set the min_hue and max_hue both to 200. This ensures that the game will only pick up that colour.

Next on the colour line fill in the RGB values you want to use. Then repeat for the other files. Also note that you might need to exit and restart the game with the skin cache off to get those colours to update.

 

If you really just want to change those bits only its more complicated as they are controlled by various files and you'd also need to edit the rounded graphic behind them to ensure the text is still readable for dark teams - the main file you need to edit is the 'titlebar' xml file found in the \skins\fm\panels\generic folder extracted from the skins.fmf file - the coding for those bits is near the bottom of the file, for the World Icon change the red_replacement codes from secondary to the colour you want, you'd then need to follow the linked files to change the appearance to recolour the background and the linked files for the other items to recolour them.

would the place in the editor would be there?

Yes select the 'text' line and then change the green colour to suit that will change the text without effecting your kits.

THANK YOU very very much sir.  Since I was only 2 months into the save, i'll modify the database at start and will go at it again from scratch. 

I never used the editor before even less that it could do something like that :/ (Noob at work here folks!)

Again sir, thank you VERY much!  you have been most helpful! and will not even have to ask the daughter about it (she is the one that introduced me to this game...  kinda weird when dad can talk about having quality time with daughter when playing online season games with her... but hey, I take all i can even if it mean having my ass handed over to me every time  I play with her! )

Sincerely
