FM Tutorials - FM2011 Display logos or kits on the Match Overview Screen
You can now choose whether to display logos or kits on the Match Overview Screen.

This is a fairly simple change, in 4 steps:

Step 1: Extract xml

First you'll need to extract the 'match incidents.xml' file from the panels.fmf file located in the data folder of where you installed FM2011.

Step 2: Copy xml

After you have extracted the file copy it to the panels folder for the skin you are using.

Step 3: Open with Notepad

Now open the file in notepad or similar and locate these lines:

<!-- team kit picture -->
<!-- comment out to show logos instead of kits -->

<container height="100" width="100">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="4" layout_children="true"/>

<container class="kit_picture" id="mikp" scale_picture="true"/>
</container>


<!-- team logo -->
<!-- uncomment to show logos instead of kits -->
<!-- <container height="80" width="80" col="0" row="0">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="4" layout_children="true"/>

<widget class="picture" id="milp" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" height="80" width="80" image_alignment="centre"/>
</container> -->


Step 4: Locate and edit

To get the logos to display, uncomment the logo code and comment out the kit code so the above lines should now look like this:

<!-- team kit picture -->
<!-- comment out to show logos instead of kits -->
<!-- <container height="100" width="100">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="4" layout_children="true"/>

<container class="kit_picture" id="mikp" scale_picture="true"/>
</container> -->

<!-- team logo -->
<!-- uncomment to show logos instead of kits -->

<container height="80" width="80" col="0" row="0">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="4" layout_children="true"/>

<widget class="picture" id="milp" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" height="80" width="80" image_alignment="centre"/>
</container>


If you want to change the size of the logo you'll need to change the values of the bold text above and change the bolded values in these lines aswell:

<container id="tntb" height="100">

<layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" layout="100,-1"/>


If you want to enable the logo on the split view overview screen you'll need to extract the 'match incidents small.xml' file from the panels.fmf file and change this code:

<!-- team kit picture -->
<!-- comment out to show logos instead of kits -->

<container class="kit_picture" id="mikp" scale_picture="true"/>
<!-- team logo -->
<!-- uncomment to show logos instead of kits -->
<!--<widget class="picture" id="milp" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" height="60" width="60" image_alignment="centre"/>-->

</container>


To this:

<!-- team kit picture -->
<!-- comment out to show logos instead of kits -->
<!-- <container class="kit_picture" id="mikp" scale_picture="true"/> -->
<!-- team logo -->
<!-- uncomment to show logos instead of kits -->

<widget class="picture" id="milp" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" height="60" width="60" image_alignment="centre"/>
</container>
