Fair enough, thanks again man.

 

I have noticed that the opponent team name on the league table of the touchline tablet is difficult to see while playing a match. Any chance to change that colour to make it more visible?

 

 

Oh dear, that's a pretty bad miss on my behalf.  I'll take a look and get back to you as soon as I've worked it out - unfortunately it might not be until tomorrow, as I have some assignments I need to work on tonight.

Is that version out? I've just downloaded the latest version and they are still over the left hand side of a players face

 

There should be a drop-down selector at the top right of the player picture.  From here choose horizontal+ (with fitness indicators) or horizontal- (without fitness indicators)

Okay.  I should be finishing assignments…but I'm awful when it comes to procrastination.  Put the attached file in the panels/match folder.  Opposition team will now be the same colour as headings (so that salmon pink colour for the scheme in the screenshot)

A sneaky additional panel.  I've attached the fix again.  This time you'll need to put it in panels/competitions - which means you'll also need to create the competitions folder!

Just to make sure I understand - are you talking about the positions underneath the player details?

 

Firstly, I'd recommend using the FHD version - this is designed for 1920x1080 resolution at 100% zoom, and will work at 1600x900 at 85% zoom.  By default the section under player details will be traits only, and the positions/roles is next to the attributes.  If not, there are little “v” in the top right corner of some sections, which allow you to select appropriate information.  I would recommend selecting “Traits” on the Player card (the bit on the left) and “Roles and Duties” next to attributes.

 

It should end up looking something like this (1600x900 at 85%):

First of all. this skin is amazing and I'm absoulutely in love. That said I have two things I'm not a big fan of:

- First the Scorecards with the player faces: I know you put out another version where the scorecards are beneath but they are still to big. From your explanations I couldn't figure out yet to make them smaller.
- Second the Player Faces in general are to big, the cutoutfaces have a to small resolution and get blurry when scaled up. Can I make the whole container for the Player Picture smaller (Also for staff)?

Thank you in advance!

So I've attatched two files below - these need to go into panels/player/mustermann folder.  They will replace the “Horizontal+” and “Horizontal-” selections.  After that you'll want to make the following edit to player overview panel.xml in panels/player folder.  On line 7, you will see something similar to:

 

<layout class="vertical_arrange" vertical_layout="6,300,2,44,2,17,15,2,200,2,-1" offset="0" inset="0" gap="0" draw_horizontal_dividers="false"/>

 

This might be slightly different, depending on the skin version you are using.  Change the 300 to 180 (2nd number in vertical_layout).  For the version above it should now look like this:

 

<layout class="vertical_arrange" vertical_layout="6,180,2,44,2,17,15,2,200,2,-1" offset="0" inset="0" gap="0" draw_horizontal_dividers="false"/>

This is fucking amazing. Wow damn thank you very much.
I've found a little bug (or maybe something easy to fix and I have another minor question:

1. Is there a way to place the transfervalue somewhere else? (Screenshot 1) (not important just a minor question)
2. I've changed the skin colors for attributes (Screenshot 2 | added green and orange) and this is working fine for the player cards. However for the staff and for custom views I still see the standard colors, this isn't a big deal either, but is kinda confusing especially when I'm playing with the version that doesn't has any attributes (Screenshot 3 & 4)

But again these are just minor details. Overall the skin is amazing and I'm gratefull for your help on my earlier question 🙂

1. You could potentially move this to the top, by editing horizontal no fitness, line 27.  Change it to:

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="1"/>

 

2. How did you change the colours.  Did you do this through the preferences menu, or by editing the Mustermann Graphical QHD Team Colours settings.xml?  (I'm trying to guess the resolution from your screenshot - the actual settings file might be different, but it'll be the only one in the settings folder).  You may need to edit the background colours, too - all profile attributes are lines 342-354.  You want the colour names to be the same for the attribute and the respective background.  It'll end up looking something like this:

 

<colour name="low attribute"        value="bg"/>
<colour name="normal attribute"       value="fg accent1"/>
<colour name="good attribute"        value="orangergb" />
<colour name="excellent attribute"       value="greenrgb" />
<colour name="unknown attribute background"    value="bg darker"/>
<colour name="low attribute background"     value="bg"/>
<colour name="normal attribute background"     value="fg accent1"/>
<colour name="good attribute background"     value="orangergb" />
<colour name="excellent attribute background"    value="greenrgb" />

 

In place of “orangergb” and “greenrgb”, you'll need to put in the rgb values for the colours.  For example, value="rgb(255,204,0)" would be a shade of orange.  You can get this from the advanced settings in preferences when setting colours.  Alternatively, you can use terms like “Orange 700” which refers to the MaterialUI colours here.

 

I hope that made sense!

Excellent skin! Is there a way to add a national flag to player profile? Or how can I do this? For example, between the name and abilities. 

 

Deleted Account #1359833

@gimn85 good Skin. Thanks! 👍

two Feature i like, and i hope you include that

  1. Can you include in the 3d Match real Scoreboard - Clubs with Enblem, Clubnames Fullnames… 
  2. in the tactic menue, can you include player faces. at the moment there are just the kits…

= that would be fine, because it gave more Immersion

I've not been able to get the flag on it's own; only with nationality as text next to it.  So I can suggest doing that so, it will appear like below:

For this, you will need to edit panels/player/player personal details panel, line 62.  Currently it should look like this:

 

<record id="widget_info" class="nation_button" icon_enabled="false" colour="fg" format="[%nation#1-nationality]"/>

 

You need to change “false” to "true", so it should be:

 

<record id="widget_info" class="nation_button" icon_enabled="true" colour="fg" format="[%nation#1-nationality]"/>

I'm happy to look at including scoreboard changes, but it's not my current priority, so might be a few weeks until it is done.  You can take a look at this thread on the SI Forums which should give instructions for doing it yourself.

 

Re: player faces in tactics menu, unfortunately this isn't something I plan to do on the release, but I've attached the file you need below.  This goes in the panels/tactics folder.  You may need to make some changes to get it to look how you like.  Row 126 controls the positioning of the player pictures.  The code is as below:

 

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0,50,45,0" />

 

To change the positioning, you'll want to play around with the inset numbers.

Hey, if you edit panels/player/player overview panel, line 7:

 

<layout class="vertical_arrange" vertical_layout="6,300,2,44,2,17,15,2,200,2,-1" offset="0" inset="0" gap="0" draw_horizontal_dividers="false"/>

 

The “44” in vertical layout, controls the bit with the player name (the FHD version has some slightly different numbers, but it will still have the 44 and that's the only bit that matters) - I'd suggest changing it to 60 and see how that looks; you might want to play around with the number a little.

 

I'll look into updating the uploads soon, but it might be a few days before I get a chance to release.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for this skin. I played a lot of FM about 10 years ago and have recently picked up a copy of the new one. I've always enjoyed playing with skins and graphics and have got to say this is amazing work. It has reminded me of how much I love not only playing the game but also making it look great 👍
