paulowen Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Can any skinning genuis help me with the above. It's the little tab that appears during a match 'Tactics/Touchline Shout'. I've downloaded a skin and I'm just trying to change the colour of the tab to the default silver colour the same as the menu bars for the original skin. Anyone know how I can do this or what code I need to input? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 If you are using the Classic view the file you need to edit is: match pitch.xml If you are using the TV view the file you need to edit is: match full window.xml Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaytonBhoy Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 What about the 3D match view? It's position can be a little annoying at times when the ball is on the far touchline. Can you guys provide a little info about how to move it? I think either side at the bottom would be good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulowen Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 If you are using the Classic view the file you need to edit is: match pitch.xmlIf you are using the 2D view the file you need to edit is: match full window.xml I've had a look for this file but cannot find it, would the actual file be called match pitch? because I can't find any file under that name.

michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 They should both be located in the panels folder, if they are not in the panels folder for the skin you are using you'll need to extract them from the panels.fmf file. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry should be classic view for the top file and TV view for the bottom one (with the files affecting both the 2D and 3D cameras). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaytonBhoy Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Can you or someone else give me a few pointers on how it could be moved ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't in the panels folder and not sure what you mean when you say extract them from the panels.fmf file. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 In the data folder of the place where you installed FM2010 will be several .fmf files - these files hold the various graphical files for FM. To edit them you first need to extract them using the Resource Archiver Tool located in the tools folder (there's a pdf guide to using the tool in the folder read it first). Extract the panels.fmf folder then copy the xml file(s) you want to edit into the panels folder for the skin you are using. Open the files with notepad or notepad++ and edit them to recolour or move the items. - To change the graphics you'll need to locate the graphics referenced and copy them into your skin and recolour them or change what graphic is linked to the button. - To move the buttons around you need to play with the inset/offset numbers and the location (top, left, bottom, right etc...).

paulowen Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Do I need to copy the match pitch file into the panels folder within the skin im using now? I would just like the tab to be the same colour as it is with the original FM10 skin. The silver colour with dark writing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 If its just the tab you want changing back then you'll need to delete the contents of the \graphics\button\action folder of the skin you are using, though that will reset every button of that style back to the default.
