FM 2016 FLUT dark skin v2.3

Dark skin for FM 2016 regular career mode and widescreens (1920x1080).

Well, I know I said that the version 2.2 of FlutSkin was the last version for this season (FM16). However, I already should know that the edition of a skin is a “never ending story”…
Thus, I'm pleased to present you the version 2.3 of FLUTSkin Dark for FM16.

Once again, thanks to all FM fans and especially to all of the fantastic FM skinners who contribute a lot to produce the FLUTSkin as it is today since FM 2013.

Compatible with DF11, Scope and Cutout Faces.

Compatible with Backgrounds (however, some of them will not be shown, instead, the citypics will be displayed).

Released: 29 August, 2016

Resolution requirements

This skin was made to work properly in 1920x1080 full screen mode. As a result, some panels won’t work properly in other resolutions (and also in 1920x1080 windowed mode).

The changes (some of them are just minor changes) in this version are in the following panels:

Stadium Overview Panel
Game Processing
Calendar Popup Panel
Club General Panel
Nation General Panel
Team Report Panel
Manager Home Panel

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. In this pack I included a TUTORIAL PDF with instructions regarding the structure of your Graphics folder in order to view the citypics, the kits and the competition logos in player details and in title bar.

2. I also included a folder with the files you need to use in order to remove the attributes background boxes (you just have to place the files of that folder in the panels folder of the skin and overwrite the originals)

You can download the FOOTBALL MANAGER BACKGROUNDS SUPERPACK or the City Pics MEGAPACK v4.0 to further enhance the skin.

hi Flut, do you eventually plan to do the fm2017 version of this skin as well, or you will stop here?
Flut • 1 year ago

@gcreber: Here is

the version 2.2

@enestak: Please read and follow the instructions I wrote in the pdf included in the pack.

@rekoshooter: there are various files. You can open the file match in between highlights panel.xml and take a look on it.. Search for file=” and you can look the names of the xml files. Don’t forget that the code inside the symbols  are not active. Also the files pointed by the match inbetween highlights panel also point to other files…

GS1981 • 1 year ago

sorry 3 hours late, just inboxed you mate, up to my eye balls in work, hope you can fix it
GS1981 • 1 year ago

ok will do it now, hope you can because 1080p looks tiny on my screen so its hard to play
Flut • 1 year ago

Hi Gs1981: Thanks for your report. I don't know if I can fix it but I can try. However I need screenshots of that bugs you report. Could you please send it to me via PM? Thanks.
GS1981 • 1 year ago

Hi i found a bug, when you zoom in to 125% it messes up the match engines graphics in the score board and other things like the offside pop up etc, any chance you could fix that? because i play on a 2k screen (2560x1440), i have to zoom in a bit, best skin going tho.
Bengo • 1 year ago

@Flut: Ya I set that to 80% and the blue background and that works perfect. Its just those panels during matches where you see the stadium through that are sometimes tough to read. Its no problem though. The rest of the skin more than makes up for having to look a little closer lol
Flut • 1 year ago

Hi Bengo: Thank you. In fact in order to decrease the transparency in that panels you have to edit several graphics. Did you already tried to decrease it through the background selector? You can do it by clicking on the percentage number that appears when you go to background selector (BS button).
Bengo • 1 year ago

Love everything about this skin. Is there something I can edit or toggle to decrease the transparency on the pre-game, in game, and post game panels. My vision is utter trash so its sometimes hard to read when the pitch or stadium is showing through those panels.
Flut • 1 year ago

Hi Qvordrup: I think I can't help you because the code for that map/country locator are the code for flag and you are using the logos as flags. I tried to change the code for the logos (you are using as flags) but without sucess (the club logo appear and not the nation flag). So...sorry but I don't know how to help you.
Qvordrup • 1 year ago

hope you will help even thoug this is not a bug, but a problem I have created my self. would like the badge I use instead of flag to fit on club profile as well as it does on nation view (top missing)
Qvordrup • 1 year ago

it's perfect :).... fixed
Flut • 1 year ago

Hi Qvordrup: thank for your report. In fact is a weird bug that I've not noticed yet. I don't know what happens. I tried to fix it without success. Thus i decided to do a new layout for this panel (with changes in the boxes on the right) in order to fix the problem. I think is fixed now.
Put these files in the panels folder of the skin:

DOWNLOAD

Please let me know if is okay now.
Qvordrup • 1 year ago

Hi flut... this is fu... close to perfect.... I have just found a small thing.... on nation general view a "strange" third kit appear? could you fix this and upload a panel?
Flut • 1 year ago

Hi Bengo: Thanks for your kind words :-) :-)
