dave byrd Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Yes you do. The graphics are sorted so just paste this into your footer.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE panel SYSTEM "http://www.sigames.com/dtds/sios/panel.dtd"> <panel title="footer" height="23"> <!-- coloured bar image --> <widget class="picture" id="pict" file="interface/footer/bar" height="25" rthr="50"> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0"/> </widget> <!-- coloured overlay image --> <widget class="picture" id="pict" file="interface/footer/overlay" height="25" rthr="68"> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0"/> <!-- set the colour of the image to the team background colour --> <attachment class="get_global_attachment" get_property="tbcl" set_property="colr"/> </widget> <!-- active area --> <container> <layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" alignment="fill" offset="0" gap="0" layout="-1"/> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" inset="0" layout_children="true" /> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" /> <container> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" layout_children="true" /> <!-- Breadcrumbs --> <container id="crum"> <layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" alignment="left" offset="10"/> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="bottom" inset="0" layout_children="true"/> <attachment class="line_up_attachment" get_property="bcmb" submenu_type="bcrm"/> <!-- Arrange the children widgets from left to right, horizontally centrered --> <layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" alignment="left"/> </container> <!-- Battery --> <container> <layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" alignment="right" offset="0" gap="4"/> <!--battery power indicator--> <container width="27" height="21"> <layout class="centre_in_parent_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" layout_children="true" priority="1" /> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="bottom" inset="0" /> <widget class="battery_power_indicator" width="16" height="16"> </widget> </container> </container> <container> <layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" alignment="right" offset="10" gap="5"/> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" layout_children="true"/> <!-- Game Date --> <widget class="date_cell" id="date" text="date" font="fonts/verabd" auto_size="all" size="8" colour="text" > <attachment class="get_global_attachment" get_property="date" set_property="valu"/> <attachment class="test_global_attachment" get_property="cont" value="-8" set_property="hidn" skip_if_null="false" skip_if_resetting="false" priority="1"/> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="bottom" inset="3" /> <string id="format"> [%date#1-long] [%date#1-time] [COMMENT: date_format for metallic2007 FM skin] </string> <event id="click_event"> <flags id="event_id" value="GCCA" /> <flags id="event_target" value="scrn" /> </event> </widget> </container> </container> </container> </panel> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meyer Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 thanks dave, but know i get a weird colour showing instead of the 1 i designed. any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave byrd Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Well your graphics must have a weird line in them then i guess.. As an experiment, download my skin: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/234678-RELEASED-daye-byrd-Dark Use my 3 footer graphics in your skin and see how they look.

meyer Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 it works fine for your graphics but when i modify them to the colours i want they come strange. the colour i am doing is a very dark grey so not hugely diffeerent to yours. it it to do with the rthr numbers? thanks for the help dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried editing my black graphics to a dark grey but when i loaded up the skin they appeared brown! Black was the only colour i had any success with.

I'm really a novice at this sort of stuff. Most of my work is trial and error! I was happy with the balck footer so left it at that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meyer Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 this is my 1st skin attempt and like you say its more trial and error than anything. will try removing the rthr code and see what happens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meyer Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 dave, just have to remove the rthr part of the code and it works. one area i cant seem to do is the heading bars. ie on a player profile page you have the bars that read 'tech attributes', 'selection details' etc. where are they located in the graphics folder?
