Well I was messing about as still cant get stadium pics to work during matches and I thought of an idea that is alot better than the default green background!!

All you do Is take out the default green pic from Right click your fm2007 screen icon and click properties then click find target and cancel your previous screen, then go to data-graphics-backgrounds and move the default green pick to your desktop incase you want to change back to it.

Then within backgrounds you will have all the stadium backgrounds on your current game, lets say you are Barnet which I am I just went to my barnet stadium and renamed it default! I had no idear that would make all those boring green screens would now be my Barnet background! SO for home games this will now show your home stadium!

For away games its exactly the same, and it is no hard work as you can have these windows opened ready to change with your game still running.

Incase you dont know you can press start on your keyboard while your on your game and it will take you to your desktop, if you dont have the start button on your keyboard then ctrl alt and delete will take you there, just press cancel when screen comes up.

What I do is have my home one set all the time as when I go to my reserves and u'18's my barnet background is their instead of green background which is brill!

And on the morning of an away game I just come out of FM and click on my saved windows and change the default pic to the stadium im playing at!! Ofcourse when you do this once you get back to your game you must make sure skin cache is off and always reload skin is on! Then you click confirm and it will load you new default pic!!

Hope this is usefull to people and some can enjoy the game alot better than they was! I have an expert coming in tomorrow to try and sort all mine out properly anyway but this beats what it was!

Sorry mate but yout a bit behind...!

Try and download some stadium backgrounds and place them in a stadium folder... Then create a config file with the <record from="manu2" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/680/background"/> in it (as an example), an you will get your backgounds on matcdays... Remember to untick skin cache, and try to reload the skin...

This has been cracked for some days now!!!

I see thomas is not here so anyone else know what he means?

I have the stadiums downloaded and have them in 3 different locations i think? Which was advised by someone. I have tryed putting the config.xml fix patch into the england sub folder and have deleted cache folder and original config file from england sub folder and the one from data\graphics\pictures\background and I have skin cache off and reload skin on, now what do I do isnt that everything?

What does thomas mean by create a config file from "man2" to graphics/pictures/stadium/680/background"/> in it, Can anyone help?? i must be soo close as some work and some dont??
