No problem. 🙂

The id="plCO" container above this should work the same way if you also wanna change the background colour or colour of the name of the goalscorer. 🙂

 

Just played a match…Was a bloody nil nil draw. so had to reload the save to get a goal and lo and behold, it worked 🙂 Thank you. My ocd is now in order lol.

 

I tried the added lines you suggested to alter the text colour, but it had no effect, but…changing the "bg" to white did indeed work, so it's all readable now.

In the match caption panel small.xml can you try to change in line 94 the red_replacement to a colour you like (currently it is bg)? It should be the background colour of the goal number display (which you can not read).

 

   <container class="contrast_box" id="inCO" appearance="boxes/custom/solid/paper" red_replacement="bg" height="30">
   <attachment_group class="horizontal_arrange" horizontal_offset="15" horizontal_alignment="left,extend" />
   
   <widget class="text" alignment="centre_y,left" auto_size="all" id="AcTx">
    <string id="size" value="large" />
    <string id="font" value="text" />
    <string id="multiline" value="true" />
   
   </widget>
   <widget class="text" alignment="centre_y,left" id="AcTs" auto_size="all">
    <string id="size" value="large" />
    <string id="font" value="text" />
    <string id="multiline" value="true" />
    
   </widget>
   <widget class="picture" id="crdP" hidden="true" scale_picture="true" height="30">
    <string id="image_alignment" value="right" />
   </widget>
  </container>

 

EDIT:

If you want to change the colour of the text instead you can try something like this:

  

 <container class="contrast_box" id="inCO" appearance="boxes/custom/solid/paper" red_replacement="bg" height="30">
   <attachment_group class="horizontal_arrange" horizontal_offset="15" horizontal_alignment="left,extend" />
   
   <widget class="text" alignment="centre_y,left" auto_size="all" id="AcTx">
    <string id="size" value="large" />
    <string id="font" value="text" />
    <string id="multiline" value="true" />

    <string id="colour" value="white" />
   
   </widget>
   <widget class="text" alignment="centre_y,left" id="AcTs" auto_size="all">
    <string id="size" value="large" />
    <string id="font" value="text" />
    <string id="multiline" value="true" />

    <string id="colour" value="white" />
    
   </widget>
   <widget class="picture" id="crdP" hidden="true" scale_picture="true" height="30">
    <string id="image_alignment" value="right" />
   </widget>
  </container>

 

Thank you so much 🙂

Can you post a screenshoot of your problem?

You might wanna change a <container background_colour="colour-with-more-contast"> in match caption panel small.xml

 

I looked in the Rensie .xml for that line and it isn't there.  Anyway, here's a screenshot of the issue. I just want the dark blue text (under the player's name) to be white…

Edit, it's not related to Cardiff's colours, it happens no matter what team scores.

Couldn't figure out what to alter. If that's even the right .xml in the first place.  Is there anyone that can be more specific about what to edit?

match caption panel small.xml

 

but you've posted in the wrong place i think

@Footygamer 

 

Thank you. Yeah I haven't posted on here in years lol. Guessed Skins, because assumed it was a skins issue.  Thank for the help though, will find that file and have a fiddle with it.

Hi. I'm using the Rensie Skin. Started a new save using Hull. My issue is this…During a match when a player scores, the season goal stats that appear under the player's name and face popup, is dark blue on black, so it's impossible to read it.  Wasn't an issue in my previous saves using the same skin. Is there somewhere I can configure it back to white text?

So you're trying to hawk out a tactic that you admit concedes lots of goals?! Good luck with that.

yesss they fixed the thing were the tactics buttons stay greyed out in the match if you make a change with shouts. thank christ for that because that was destroying the game for me.

anyone else have this or have a solution to it.

make a tactical change during a match and 50% of the time the on the fly and tactics button stays greyed out for the entire match without taking effect!!! makes being a manager pointless kinda.

anyone know a way of resolving/a workaround for this, or is just a case of waiting for the patch?

this is going to sound really stupid, but i've installed the game from disc, done all the steam activation stuff, the game loads fine. my question is this: where are the game files installed? i know where the files are where you add graphics n whatnot. but i'm talking about the GBs of game files? i never had 2012 but had 2011 and it installed the bulk files in Program Files, under a directory called sports interactive. can't for the life of me find em on 2013!

any help would be appreciated
