Inbox Screen Background Transparency

[dansh1989]

Iv managed to change the transparency of both the home screen and on matchdays but I'm struggling changing the inbox screen to suit. Any ideas how to change this or remove the grey box background? thanks in advance

If it hasn't changed the inbox is controlled by the 'inbox item' xml file located in the panels folder (though it might be in a subfolder in FM17 - so you might need to wait until the full release when we have full access to the game files).

In that file will be a line like this:

<container class="bordered_box" appearance="boxes/sidebar/standard/right/paper">

That will affect the appearance, to change the appearance you can either change the appearance paths to point to graphics that already have the level of transparency you want, or you can follow those paths to locate and modify the images (though again you might need to wait until we have access to the resource tool to extract the game files).

If you want to modify the middle bit that has the content in (for example the physio report bit) then that is more complicated as the different news items are controlled by individual xml files located in the news_item_panels subfolder and you might need to modify the box class or appearance for once one.

That's great much appreciated!
