that xml i put up michael im messing about with...been tring for 4 hours solid on making the date & user name on right smaller & too fit...need team name moved on left beside badge

The simplest method:

- Open the panels folder for the skin you are making, click on the header.xml file and copy and paste it there (so you create a file called copy of header.xml in the folder - the copy will be your backup file).

- Now goto the Aurora skin's panels folder locate the file called header.xml copy it, go back to your skins folder and paste the header file into your folder (overwriting the old header). Close the Aurora skin folder.

- Open the file called header.xml in notepad.

- Follow the instructions from my last post, and you should end up with a header like the one I posted (The manager, world, options etc.. bits may be missing but not important at the moment).

The text size will be controlled by the file called SKIN_NAME.xml located just inside your skin's folder (so if you skin was called bob, you'd have a file called bob.xml inside the folder called bob.)

- The vertical alignment of the text is controlled by the code offset in the code in my last post - reduce the number the text moves upwards, increase it it moves down.
