I am playing around with the scoreboard and trying to re-create the one that is used on Sky Sports EFL games. The closest one to this is the Bundesliga scoreboard that is included in the game. So I am editing that and I have got to the point where I can't figure out how to get the team names and background to show as the kit colours. In the screenshot I am playing as Bradford City and we are playing in black (which is shown as a line under the team name, difficult to see but you can see how it looks on the home team in red). This does not show above and instead is a dark red. Ideally I want to get this to look so the background is the away kit primary colour and the text is the away kit secondary colour. I will post the code of the xml below the screenshot too. <panel> <!--Alternate UI mode--> <integer id="alSM" value="1" /> <list id="properties_to_forward"> <record get_property="disable_animations"

I know there is an EFL scoreboard and matchday experience already in FM23, but would it be possible to do the scoreboard like that which is used on Sky Sports? Below is a screenshot of what is used on Sky sports

I have just purchased a new Macbook Air that has the notch, and I am suffering from the same issue. The FM app does not include the "scale to fit below built-in camera" and when I play FM in full screen mode the notch covers the top of the game. If this option could be put back in then that would help. At the moment I am having to play the game in either windowed mode to see everything, or play in full screen mode with the top of the game cut off

@bluestillidie00 I have shamefully taken your club overview from the 1.2 version of your skin and put it into my light skin. I have an issue which I can't work out, which is the Best 11 section, the players names are in white (shown in the screenshot below). I think the code that controls the best 11 is the following <widget class="client_object_list_table" id="awsl" sort_disabled="true" always_use_latest_object_list="true" should_force_refresh="true" navigation_container="true"> <integer id="contextual_handler_column_id" value="Pnms"/> <list id="viewed_property_ids"> <integer value="Pers"/> <integer value="Pbep"/> <integer value="Pbea"/> <integer value="Pbeg"/> <integer value="Pbav"/> </list> </widget> Is there a way to change the colour to black so it's more easily readable?

You're right it is that panel, couldn't see the code for it as it was further down than what I was expecting. All sorted now thanks.

I have had a look at both those files and the widgets/recruitment meeting TDD invite.xml file controls the section that has the transfer deadline day log in it and the budgets. The news_item_panels/inbox content with recruitment meeting invite.xml controls the In Attendance and Meeting Agenda section. Neither of them seem to control the white text above it or the club logo next to it.

Does anyone know what controls the white text in this screen? Tried to find the xml file but cant see what controls the white text.

I'm the same, I've found that the colour of the boxes in the blue box is controlled by the Picking colours in the settings.xml file, but no idea what controls the text colour

Also does anyone know what controls the text in the red an blue boxes I have highlighted below? I would like to change the text from white to black. If it helps I have used @Olas Nick NY Light Skin as a base so maybe he knows.

Does anyone know what controls either the colour of the text or the colour of the background for the recruitment meeting in the calendar? I have put a red box around what I mean. I'd like to either change the text to white or the box to a lighter colour so the text is more visable.

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

The light skin is nowhere near complete as there is a lot more screens where there is white text, and also as pointed out above the Transfer Deadline Day section isn't right with the light skin

I have made a dark skin version of this

I thought it was the match day header panel, but that file seems to control this screen. When I proceed to the match and get the header I posted above it is different to this screen.

Does anyone know which file controls the titlebar on this screen? I have tried the match day header panel.xml but it doesnt seem to control this screen.

I have managed to sort the game crashing issue, which was down to the deadline day colour settings. 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.

I have had a play around with it and it seems to be to do with the "deadline day" colour settings in the settings.xml file. I have taken the settings from another light skin and had no issues with the skin, when I change the colour values to what they were then it crashes again

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

Thanks for that @GIMN I have managed to sort the white text

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.

Thanks @GIMN I have managed to sort out all the panels that I posted, but I am struggling to find which xml is responsible for this screen above that @Olas Nick has managed to fix

I have just tried it in the base skin and the sidebar is there for me. Try the file I have attached, its just the default client object browser but with the sidebar moved down. Regarding the graphic not stretching across, you will have to edit the graphic or use the titlebar.xml to control the graphic of the titlebar. To remove the existing one I have previously edited the appearance="boxes/custom/interface/content/primary/paper" to show as appearance="". This essentially removes all the graphics. If you are going down this route then I would advise you download one of the previous versions of the base skin that @michaeltmurrayuk created for FM22 or FM21 as he details how to get the transparency right over the entire screen. Hope that helps but see how you get on. client object browser.xml

What I did previously was to move the Sidebar code further down in the client object browser xml. Look for the following code, mine was around line 100 but yours could be further down or higher up. <widget class="sidebar_menu_table" id="side" width="160" navigation_container="true"> <record id="object_property"> <integer id="get_property" value="objt" /> <integer id="set_property" value="cotO" /> </record> <attachment class="test_multiple_globals_attachment" default_value="true"> <list id="get_properties"> <record get_property="TTyp" test_mode="equal" value="1" skip_if_null="false" /> <record get_property="hide_sidebar" test_mode="equal" comparison_mode="or" value="true" skip_if_null="false" /> </list> <integer id="set_property" value="FoHi" /> </attachment> <attachment class="test_setting_attachment" get_setting="force_small_sidebar" value="true" skip_if_false="true" default_value="false" set_property="widt" true_value="45"/> <attachment class="test_screen_size_attachment" alignment="horizontal" min_value="0" max_value="1200" set_property="widt" true_value="45" false_value="160" disable_setting_name="force_small_sidebar"/> </widget> Cut that entire text from your client object browser and paste it below the following code. Mine was around line 325. <!-- main area - contains sections/actions panel and content areas --> <container id="main"> <layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" alignment="middle,extend" gap="0" offset="0"/> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" apply_to_children="true" /> That should move the sidebar further down and put the titlebar across the top of your screen

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).

It is my own personal skin. The home screen is taken from one of the past TCS skins by @bluestillidie00. I think it was around FM19 or FM20 so I can take no credit for creating that home screen
