duccio Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Creating custom graphics should not be problem for me, but can someone tell me what panels should be edited (and maybe hint at what exactly to do) to make changes similar to the image below? I would like to make the top bar (or is it called title bar?) span the width of the whole screen, and slightly move the club logo and back/forward buttons.

duccio Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Basically yes, but with a little bit differently arranged logo and back and forth buttons. Do you know what should be edited? Something from the "client object browser.xml" and some other panels? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 You need to edit the sidebar, because the area to the far left remains part of the sidebar even if it looks like the titlebar. I'd recommend downloading Drakestone's VEXILLIUM XXCXV skin to see what he has done to the sidebar, header and titlebar panels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duccio Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 I will check it out. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duccio Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 I removed the back/next buttons from the header and added them to the side bar. I also removed the logo from the title bar. What next though? How can a logo be added to the space it is in the lower fake screenshot in the image below? What is the name of the bar that contains the "Players", "Squad Depth" etc. buttons?

Scribe Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I think you may struggle to do that because you are effectively trying to have your logo spread over two panels. If you put the logo in the sidebar you can make it bigger - like I've done very quickly here: Having said that, I'm new to this so someone with a bit more knowledge may be able to assist you.

If you put the logo in the sidebar you can make it bigger - like I've done very quickly here: Unless the sidebar is made wider, putting the logo there would defeat my original purpose of making it meaningfully larger. I prefer not to widen the sidebar. Thanks for your help anyway. Or put it in the top so that its on every screen A layer on top of everything? Would it be even on the match screen? That might be a bit annoying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMReporter Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 This is how mine is set up. The face changes to logo when a club is chosen. The sidebar and top bar change colours with each team as well. I can upload the files if anyone is interested Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can change that easily enough in the header, that one above in the screenshot is set to 50 where the one below is set to 80 you could set the sidebar to match the top bar as well if wanted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duccio Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Thank you for your suggestion FMReporter - that could be one solution to my issue, but it sort of "wastes" vertical space. I wonder if there is a way to bump the titlebar and the row of buttons below it to the right, and then fill the space between them and the sidebar with a logo.

FMReporter Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Can you share your skin?

duccio Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 In absence of another solution, I will have to just resize the title bar to adjust the logo size... Now I have another question: how does one change text sizes in the game? I placed a settings.xml to the settings folder of my custom skin, but editing text size values there has no effect on font sizes in the game. In past game versions I have had similar problems (I guess I do not learn ) and the solution was to name the settings file correctly. I have tried different names (for example <skin name> settings.xml), but nothing seems to help. Any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using panels from other people in your skin they may have changed the fonts (as I have in mine) so for example I have one called Proxima-reg instead of the Proxima_reg so it would have to be added to the settings file or changed in the panel which its located.

I'm using an instant result skin as a platform for my modifications, and the only changes that were present before my own modifications seem to be the ones directly related to the instant result function. What should be the name of the settings file? The name of the skin's folder <space> and then settings.xml? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duccio Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Here is what I've been doing. Does anyone know how to control the vertical alignment of the text in the titlebar? I don't want to align it to top or bottom, just move it a little bit down because of the golden ratio and nonsense like it. The text "Cittadella" looks a bit rough as well - can text smoothness be adjusted somehow? There is no room for the World button's downward "arrowhead" - can it be removed?
