Alexpuk2002 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Every year I edit my own personal skin which I don't release as it is a mixture of panels taken from other skins and edited to my own standards. The skin I use is a light skin and every year there are usually a lot of areas that need editing which is mainly changing the colour of the text from white to something more readable. I have created this thread so I can put up any screenshots of areas where I come up against these issues and cannot figure out myself how to fix them. Below are the issues I have come across so far. 1. How to change the text in the red box from white to "text" colour. 2. How to change the text of the player from white to "text" colour. 3. What controls the graphic for the box below that is in the red box. I would like to use a different graphic. 4. Which file controls the players name on this screen. I would like to change this from white. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the extent I just added colour="text" to basically any of them that had a person_button. There were also ones that I could never find. So it might not be that at all I will also temper this with I haven't looked at light mode on FM24 yet, so some of the above might've changed since last year.

Alexpuk2002 Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share Posted November 24, 2023 Thanks for those suggestions @GIMN. I have made the changes and the squad planner issue is now fixed. I'll wait until the recruitment focus screen is next back up to see if that issue is fixed. For the news items with the player name I'll have a look at what you suggested and see if that resolves the issue. I'm sure there will be more things that crop up when I get to them but thanks for your help with these. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexpuk2002 Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 Don't think this is a light skin specific issue, but I have found that when I use attribute boxes for player attributes, any value from 16 - 20 appears black, while all other values below 16 are white. I have set the font colour to white in the xml, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. This has only happened on FM24 and was never an issue in FM23 or previous versions.

Alexpuk2002 Posted December 3, 2023 Author Share Posted December 3, 2023 I am struggling to edit the following screen which shows the list of players from the training week in review. I have found the xml file that controls this which seems to be widgets/club training performers list autosize widget.xml and located the following code in this file. <!-- Other players --> <widget class="table" id="ptbl" mode="fill_rows, stripe_rows, hide_headings" layout="-1, 50" auto_size="vertical" colour="text"/> </container> I have added the colour="text" but this doesn't seem to change the text of the players from white to black.

Alexpuk2002 Posted December 16, 2023 Author Share Posted December 16, 2023 I have been struggling to edit this screen (seems like a lot of the issues with white text are in the inbox news items) to change the colour of the players on this screen.

I have got it working pretty well but there are a few areas that still have white text on lighter backgrounds. Can cope with these but I'll keep posting the ones I struggle to fix to see if anyone knows how to fix there. I'm sure some of the panels will probably be hardcoded and can't be edited. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexpuk2002 Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 I have managed to edit the cup draw (FA Cup at least) screen to how I want. I am struggling to find where to edit the Live Updates box and text that appears at the top of the screen. I have taken a screenshot below of what I mean as I would like to change the colour of the box from purple and ideally the text too. I think it is the competition/competition cup draw draw panel.xml but I can't seem to change the text or the box colour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
