So you just downloaded your favourite skin but you’re not particularly a fan of the profile attribute colours and wish to change them but you’re not sure how? This guide will hopefully help you with the process.

The file you are looking to find is fm colours.xml this is found in the settings folder of your desired skin. If that xml file is not present then you would need to open the settings.xml instead.

Then you will need to locate these 4 lines:

<colour name="low attribute" red="40" green="40" blue="40"/>
<colour name="normal attribute" red="40" green="40" blue="40"/>
<colour name="good attribute" red="40" green="40" blue="120" />
<colour name="excellent attribute" red="0" green="0" blue="255" />

"low attribute" is for attributes ranging from 0-5.
"normal attribute" is for attributes ranging from 6-10.
"good attribute" is for attributes ranging from 11-15.
"excellent attribute" is for attributes ranging from 16-20.

To actually change the colours you will need to open an image editing program like Photoshop or Paint. Then find the colour you wish to use and copy the RED, GREEN and BLUE numbers into the xml page.
For example:

<colour name="low attribute" red="40" green="40" blue="40"/>
becomes
<colour name="low attribute" red="210" green="75" blue="60"/>

Then all you will need to do is re-load the skin to see your brand new attribute colours!

I think the method for doing this has changed with the new game?

[jeyg]

How do you change the colours if you want to keep the original skin ?
I tried changing the values at the very end of the file "settings.fmf" (in C:\Football Manager 2009\data), but it only makes everything disapear

[RyArsenal]

I thought this was going to be hard but it was so easy. FM 09 btw..

Red: Low
Orange: Normal
Green: Good
Blue: Excellent

[martyyyyy]

Okey, I know how to change the COLOURS, but how do I change the Attribute "treshold", I think its the word.

I want the colours like this:

1-9 White
10-14 Yellow
15-20 Red

[jeyg]

Don't think it's possible

I finally managed to do it (by using the old settings.xml of FM08)

I searched around the folders finally changing same file as you - thought i'd cracked it - then after reloading, all letters were white on a light background, couldn't see anything.

So where are you at now ? Can the Attribute colours be changed on Original Skin or do I have to use a new Skin, if so does it need to be made for FM09 or do the FM08 ones work (usually use TurnStyle08).

You could give 0-5 and 6-10 the same colours

Does anybody know the default skin colour numbers?

Thanks in advance.

[jordan robb]

Where is the settings.xml? is it...

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\football manager 2009?

[sinashgh]

yah was wondering same thing as 'swog'. How is this different for FM09 and changing default skin attributes colours and even thresholds, is it the same?

[Condor]

so what about fm10?? How can i change the colour of the attributes?

[Mshing]

Can anyone explain how to do this on FM10, i am a total noob so as much explanation as possible would be grateful as I have never tried this before on previous versions.

Thanks
