I will use my example within a skin
When in the skin folder (Football Manager 2005\data\skins\<your skin>\graphics\pitch\popup
you will have 18 files containing 1 pixel in each file. BACKUP ALL THESE FILES. Then untick the box in the properties of the files called read only. This will let u edit them.
We will start with body_bottom_left load the file and zoom in as much as you can to look at it it is the size of 1 pixel so you cant do anything with it. change it to your wanted colour then change opacity to 99%. save and move on to the next file.
the design when playing your game will look fairly similar to this :
<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> __________________________________________________ ___________________|_|____________________________ _____________________________________|_|header_top _(right, left, middle)| | | || | | || | | |header_middle_(right, left, middle)| | | ||_|______________________________________________ ___________________|_||_|_________________________ ________________________________________|_|header_ bottom_(right, left, middle) l m r e i i f d g t d h l t e __________________________________________________ ___________________|_|____________________________ _____________________________________|_|body_top_( right, left, middle)| | | || | | || | | || | | || | | || | | || | | |body_middle_(right, left, middle)| | | || | | || | | || | | || | | ||_|______________________________________________ ___________________|_||_|_________________________ ________________________________________|_|body_bo ttom_(right, left middle) l m r e i i f d g t d h l t e </pre>
then load up your game and skin and check if it works by playing a game
