It’s not a bug in the game, but they changed something with the fonts. So it’s not a coding issue. It has to do with the colour settings in the font you are using. See my screenshot, it works just depends on coding in the font itself.

Thanks for getting back to me on this. I use a custom font and I have checked the colour coding from this and it looks to be ok. I have also changed the font for the attributes to the "title" font and it still shows as black. My custom font that I am using is coded like this.

<record>
	<string id="file_name" value="sansbold.xml"/>
	
  <integer id="fill_colour_red" value="240" />
  <integer id="fill_colour_green" value="240" />
  <integer id="fill_colour_blue" value="240" />
  <integer id="fill_colour_alpha" value="255" />
	


  
	<list id="shadows">
		<record>
			<integer id="x_offset" value="1"/>
			<integer id="y_offset" value="1"/>
			<integer id="blur_radius" value="1"/>
			<integer id="colour_red" value="0"/>
			<integer id="colour_green" value="0"/>
			<integer id="colour_blue" value="0"/>
			<integer id="colour_alpha" value="200"/>
		</record>
	</list>

</record>

I am not sure if there is an issue somewhere else in the text.xml file or something.

I have been looking around the forum for a fix to this issue but can't find anything anywhere. Not sure if it is a bug or if something has changed as this never used to be an issue until FM24.

I use attribute boxes on player and staff profiles and the values for the excellent threshold which seems to be 16-20 appear in black, while the rest appear in white. I would like them all to appear in white which it used to do in previous FM's.

The code I use is below.

<!-- Attribute value -->
			<record index="2" id="val" sort_disabled="true" column_alignment="centre" right="0">
				<record id="widget_info" class="attribute_label" alignment="centre" font="attributs2" style="semi_bold" multiline="false" use_attribute_colour_as_bg="false" appearance="boxes/custom/attributes/paper"/>
			</record>

Do you mind showing how the code looks now, just for future ref to myself. thanks

Yes, no problem. The code now looks like this.

<!-- Other players -->
			<widget class="table" id="ptbl" mode="fill_rows, stripe_rows, hide_headings" layout="-1, 50" auto_size="vertical">
			<list id="column_widget_properties">
					<record indx="0" colour="black" secondary_icon_colour="black" />
				</list> 
			</widget>

why "table"?  the color of table elements has never been set like this.  you need to use <list id="column_widget_properties"> and set the color inside the list

I'm not sure why it was set like this. I just got the xml file from the default FM panels after extracting them using the Resource Archiver

Managed to sort it though with the suggestion you made

just a few guesses.

try with a normal colour="black"

or red_replacement="black"

 

None of those seem to work unfortunately 

[[FM24] Light Skin Issues]

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. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong and how to solve this?

Thanks @snowofman that has solved the issue

[[FM24] Light Skin Issues]

Which panel controls this screen? I would like to change the colour of the purple areas.

[[FM24] Light Skin Issues]

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.

[[FM24] Light Skin Issues]

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.

[[FM24] Light Skin Issues]

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.

[Scoreboard Six Letter Team Name]

So I think what controls the team name in the scoreboard is the id= value. In my code I have this set as id=T1nm for the home team which I think sets the team name to the 3 letter team name.

Does anyone know where or what the ID value is for the 6 letter team name?

[Scoreboard Six Letter Team Name]

I edited the scoreboard for FM23 to use the 3 letter team name. Is there a way to get the scoreboard to use the 6 letter team name instead? Below is the thread I created for the FM23 scoreboard I edited.

Which panel controls this news item? Would like to change the player name from white to black.

[[FM24][HELP]Random and Small Skinning Questions]

Does anyone know what graphic is used when creating a new game and selecting the game mode and career setup modes? I have attached a screenshot which is highlighted in the red box. I would like to change this graphic or at least the colour of the black to something else so I can make the text more readable.

 

[[FM24][HELP]Random and Small Skinning Questions]

Also, does anyone know which panel or code controls this section that I have highlighted in the red box?

Thank you for your suggestion, but I don't think it completely solves the problem. I've tried changing the version of Mustermann's light skin to 24 and the set pieces tab is missing, for instance. I'm afraid other older skins would have similar issues. 

 

Besides, after spending a few hours with this .XML file, I really would like to know what am I missing. 

No problem, unfortunately until someone recreates a light skin and has gone through every single panel then there are always going to be certain areas that still have white text. I think some areas are hard coded and cannot be edited which is a pain. 

[[FM24][HELP]Random and Small Skinning Questions]

I have been editing the squad planner for my own skin and was wondering which panels control the player names text. I am wanting to change them from white to black so they are easier to read.

I have been trying to change some colors to have a semi-functional light skin while I can't find a good one. In the Squad screen, I've managed to change the colors of the "Name" column through the fg color name parameter in the settings file, but the remaining columns are still white. How can I change the color of these other fields?

If you are wanting to use a light skin or attempt to make a light skin, then what I have done for the past 2 versions of FM is to use @michaeltmurrayuk light base skin that he created for FM22. While this is not 100% complete and there will be some white text around, it is a good start and the main panels and text are black. You will just need to change the version number in the skin config file to 24.0.0

not in the slightest. This is my research from last year https://docs.google.com/file/d/1xzzCPqIKDvwZXfNKisxed9rdQ1Bn3Hoo/edit?usp=docslist_api&filetype=msexcel

Light skins are a bit of a pain to get working 100%. I have been using light skins since FM 2005 and have tried to keep them going for my own use since they were discontinued in FM19 I believe. While it is possible to change the background to white and text to black, the main issue I keep coming across is that it is really difficult to find all the areas where the text needs changing to black.

@michaeltmurrayuk was the main person who used to create light base skins that we could edit, but he hasn't been active for a few years now which is a big loss. 

Due to the shear amount of work involved in creating a light base skin and the time it takes, I don't think this will happen again. I do wish SI would create a light and a dark skin within the game like they used to instead of just using one skin, but this doesn't look like it will happen either.

I am sure there will be a light skin released at some point, but these just take longer to create than the dark skins

How to change color attribute value in player profile black to white in range 16-20? like in non player profile in picture

FM Base.7z 59.04 kB · 0 downloads

I am having the same issue as well where any value of attributes from 16-20 the text appears in black, but anything lower than 16 appears as white which is what I want them to be. The code I use is below

<!-- Attribute value -->
<record index="2" id="val " sort_disabled="true" column_alignment="centre" right="0">
<record id="widget_info" class="attribute_label" alignment="centre" font="attributs2" style="semi_bold" colour="white" multiline="false" use_attribute_colour_as_bg="false" appearance="boxes/custom/attributes/paper"/>

How did you get the transparency with stadium background and the solid sidebar with the pattern like that?

I'm trying to create this...

It's a little hard to explain but it is set up in the client object browser.xml file. I have attached a screenshot of the code used to create this. The default client object browser.xml pretty much has the code there but you just need to add the code from line 29-39 in the screenshot.

I have also attached the graphics that I use so you should be able to get it set up.

Does anyone know what controls the colour of the text on the training calendar? Or what controls the the colours of the training sessions blocks? Ideally I'd like to change the colour of the text from white to black and the colour of the blocks from the light cyan colour for the recovery block shown, to a darker colour.
