Alexpuk2002 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Every year I create my own personal skin from using panels from other skins and adjusting them to fit my laptop resolution. I usually create a dark and light version of the same skin as I like to switch between both while playing. Since SI stopped creating a light skin themselves this has become difficult to create as there is usually some white text that can't be edited (or at least isn't easy to edit). This year seems to be more difficult as there are more areas that show white text now which wasn't an issue in FM22 or previous versions. Below are the screens that contain white text that I have come across so far. If anyone know the xml file that controls these and how to change the text (I have tried on the finance part of the home screen but the file is full of code that is not easy to distinguish what controls what part).

Alexpuk2002 Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 Also what file controls this? There are a couple of places where the text is white, mainly the player name on the left and the text in the main part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olas Nick Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I don't know if something has changed for you, but after the last damn update, some widgets stopped responding to the color="colour" instruction. in several places I had to change the container type to main_subtle_box (I don't understand why there are so many) to get an acceptable look. it's just terrible, every year the standard skin gets worse and harder to change.

Alexpuk2002 Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 What panels control the Transfer Deadline Day when you click on the Take Part button? I have transferred my skin over from FM22 which is a light skin and when I click the Take Part button on Transfer Deadline Day the game crashes. This doesn't happen on the dark skin I created from the FM23 Base skin that @bluestillidie00 created, so I know it is definitely to do with my light skin transferred from FM22. I am think it may be an old xml file that is the issue and is causing the game to crash. I can upload the skin for anyone to take a look at if that helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start with fonts, then graphics, then panels, when something stops crashing the game, then delete client_object, then club and so on. That's how I troubleshoot crashes anyway. My initial thoughts feel like it might be something in the titlebar.xml or client object browser Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering though as I have set the colours to what they were in FM22, is there a way to change the colour of the text and background of buttons in the titlebar for the transfer deadline day? And also the text in the inbox that is shown in the red box? If i change the "deadline day bg" value in settings then it does what I want, but it also changed the box colour where the news text is (currently the white box in the middle of the page) and makes the inbox text difficult to read.

Steve1977beyond Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Really like your skin, FM looks so much better with a white skin.

Alexpuk2002 Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 It is getting harder and harder to get the light skin to work. SI seem to have abandoned the light skin in favour of just having the one purple skin. I haven't played the game too much as I have been trying to get the light skin to be workable but I have lost the patience with it and not done too much like in previous years. The skin that I have been editing and that is shown in the pics above is a mixture of the TCS skin from FM22 by @bluestillidie00, Tato22 by @Wozzie and a few other skins that I cannot remember, so all praise needs to go to them 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also angry for a long time about the innovations in fm23, but now, despite some bugs, my light skin looks as cool as any light skin from SI has never looked (I think modesty is inappropriate if more than 1000 files have been changed) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
