if you go into the file, you can find the picture widget and put transparency="put a number you want"

you were already answered a week ago - you need to use an overlay. nothing has changed since then.

this is a very simple but very bad way. it can be used if the skin does not support city/stadium packs. if the skin supports city/stadium packs, it will simply be an overlay of 2 pictures. in this case, the image of the city will be superimposed on the image of the stadium.

e.g.

if you do not use an overlay, you need to place the widget in a separate container and set an opaque background for this container.

Yes, I had to ask again. because when I did as you describe, the stadium image was completely gone?

what are these two panels called pls? specifically the yellow boxed ones so i can resize them

Believe the first one is widget/scout card report

I'm not sure if it will be labelled in the skin you're using but the one in my skin has a note <!-- LHS --> for that panel

Hi I want to use FMEnchanced's multi praising/critique page on Individual Training panel in a skin I'm currently using. I tried to copy paste the player training summary panel & player training information custom xml file but it didn't work. Can anyone help me with it?

when looking through the files, make sure you also look for classes as it can make a thing work.

it's hard to help when we don't know what your page is doing and not doing. 

 

Edit: My guess would be that you're missing 

team training person table info panel.xml

You're guess was right because of team training person table info panel.xml file missing it didn't work. Now it's working fine. Thank you for the help!

Is it possible to do an average of a set of attributes?

For example add up all the physical table numbers and average them out.

a. Is there an easy way to identify which files deal with a specific panel? 

b. What panel deals with "staff reaction to team news"?

Thanks

a) sadly not - you might find some help in "section meta data" 

b) please drop a screenshot as it's easier to help that way, just so we are sure we are talking about the same.

what is "easy way"? in general, 3/4 of the panels can be identified quite easily and quickly. by name, by content, by obvious "code defects"...

Found it, match team news panel.xml, the portion with Staff reaction to team news.

By an id or something, like search for 213131 in all files, and you find 2-3-4 files containing the id, and it's easier to deal with things.

Thanks, sadly some parts don't have the id to look for. Trial and error works fine, usually it's fast to target something. Also notes from previous versions help too  Still have the folders for each game version.

yes. trials, errors, studying other people's skins, the right set of software, and more and more time.
they also say that FM25 will have a new engine and a completely new UI. It is interesting, maybe skinning will become impossible

I hope they keep skinning since I like ultra light dark skins, informational, and very easy on the eyes. Not a fan of any kind of backgrounds, transparency, etc.

I am trying to do something a bit different with my attributes layout, credit and big congrats to how you have yours laid out. I am struggling to work out how to get the next set of attributes on the line underneath.

 

[jmb1403]

Hi guys
Does anyone know how to extend this box to fit in all of the attributes please?

[snowofman]

2 ways

find the panel that controls the height of the attribute box and adjust it to fit

or

locate the file with your attributes and change height

<record id="table_properties" mode="fill_rows, stripe_rows, printable" layout="-1, 14, 45, 33" row_height="20" row_spacing="1" default_sort_column="name">

who can tell what is responsible for the appearance of these elements? it seems that this is not a tactic icons * .xml

all i know is that it's in
youth development youth candidate squad list panel.xml

but never went deeper to figure it out.

if deeper then this
 

						<widget class="pitch_squad_depth" id="pitc" vertical="true" pitch_length_multiplier="1.02" pitch_draw_grass="true" select_event="slic" pitch_line_colour="faded white" pitch_keep_selected_icons="true" pitch_touchline_width_percentage="30" line_width="1">

but im do not find class, widget or panel pitch_squad_depth

[godzilu]

I suppose you guys still haven't figured out how to replace the background on the Team Selection screen? Reading some other thread. Or maybe this older posts  

EDIT: I've managed at least to make the team transparency zero like this: 

 

File is team squad tactics panel.xml, line 18, added  appearance="boxes/maimaimai/paper" red_replacement="bg" to the container, where my paper is a dark bakcground, and bg too is a dark background. Good enough for me since I hate transparencies.

I know you can change the boxes I've tried adding custom images to the page but they don't show on tactics but will in the tactics embedded and match tactics screens

Anyone knows how to change the background transparency in the Team News panel, for Press Officer Social Roundup on the right? I managed to deal with the left panel, but not with this.

I think I am failing to pinpoint the right container somehow tho it looks pretty straightforward lol. WIll try again today since I am fresh.

EDIT: Turns out I had to follow this: file="human/news feed embedded social panel", I was editing the wrong containers.

Leaving a photoshop batch to do the job while I am out, hopefully I tweaked it enough for exceptions lol. I am blasting the entire papers.

EDIT: Not a good idea to do all in the boxes folder lol, destroyed the game. Reverting to individual edits
