giglet13 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) I'm really new to this but trying to ease in with tweaks on existing skins for my own use, to learn how! Any help would be great! I've searched forum for some keywords but not found anything yet for the two below... Full Team Name Scoreboard It's part of the Material Skin available, but just wondered if anyone could share the 'how' of making it happen? I've had a look through some of the configs in the skin but I'm very new to this so not sure where to start! Player Faces on the Bottom of Match Screen Line Up/Subs Separately I saw this shared on Twitter for a work in progress, and would also love any help more experienced Skinners can share on making this tweak too; Edited December 7, 2020 by giglet13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giglet13 Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 So I've managed to decode and use panels from two other skins to get Scoreboard and Player Faces on bench - One thing I've got left though, and hopefully very basic, is the team name colours in the Scoreboard. I've got the background and base colour sorted - but for my team it changes the team name to highlight in a light blue - I just want this removed/switched off so where would I be looking in the Config for the line governing this? I can see most items (where i've switched colour names to white) and that works for all teams except my own which still have the highlight! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyewu Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 So far, no one has been able to answer how we can have the long names in the scoreboard while having the team background primary color and the team text the secondary color. The best I've seen or came up with myself after fiddling with the FLUT skin "match score area panel" is to get the long team name with the text being the secondary color of the competition. If I resort to using the 6-letter name for the team, then the it will work properly........for some reason the code that gives us the long team name does not allow for the text to be the secondary color of the team. What I did last night while playing my first friendly with Sevilla, is change the text color to "red" instead of "secondary" and it worked....so it will accept specific color commands....so I had the white background and the red text rather than white on white (since Friendly Competitions secondary color is white).....but I don't want to have to do that for both teams every game I play !!!

One of the mysteries of FM21.... I've done this to set text colour as white - but it still leaves user controlled team as a light blue highlight. I'm using the Match Scoreboard Panel from Material Skin and the remaining Match Panels form the Kojuro Skin to get the set up I'd like. The rest is the TCS Skin. My knowledge only goes as far as blending and tweaking elements others have built really so anyone who knows more that can guide would be awesome!

Skin Masters have come up with some good ones over the years, so it's a shame this is constricted. So I'll either manipulate the color in the "match score area panel" before each game I play or see if I can stomach the disjointed 6 letter team names for the sake of proper team colors {How do I cut Borussia Monchengladbach down to 6 letters :-) } Thanks for confirming bluestillidie00 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexpuk2002 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I have managed to get the background colour for the home and away teams to display their team colours but I can't seem to get the text to display the team secondary colour. When you use the secondary option for the team name it changes it to the secondary colour for the competition instead of the team. This is how its looking so far.

We have been fighting to get a fix for this for over a week, but no one can figure it out....very frustrating......some of the great skinners have given up on it......I can't believe there isn't a way to fix this.........you have to decide if you want the the correct team colors with the 6-letter name (which looks like an eye chart in most cases) or the full team name with the wrong text color.

Watson156 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Just a quick thought that might be simple/stupid. Instead of using secondary as a colour and it uses the comps one, could you say clubs secondary? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing has to be edited in terms of graphic, at least the basic stuff like this. just find the line 99 in the 'match score are panel.xml' and change the red_replacement="bg". Black instead of "bg", or you can insert other colour or "bg accent" to have it back purple. If you would insert white colour, you would have to change the scoreline text colour to black or some darker than white. I went with "bg" in the end as it fits better with the rest (mainly is the same as the box with the time) after I turned the recoloured match title bar off. So it looks like this. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
