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.

Discussion: FM 2016 FLUT dark skin v2.3
449 comments have been posted so far.
A few things.
1. It seems to process slower than other skins. For example when continuing to the next day, there's a slight choppiness to the animation. Nothing too bad but slightly annoying.
2. The larger stars are still the default stars instead of the dots. Making bigger dots to match would be nice.
3. Scoreboard text appears black when watching highlights of another match, not sure why. Fine when viewing matches normally.
4. I think a small analyzer polygon would be good on the player attributes screen right next to the face.
Just my recommendations going forward. Again, amazing work!
Is this error related with your Skin Flut?

Concerning your suggestion, I can try to increase a little bit the player picture, however I'm afraid the other parts of the panel could seem a little bit narrow....but if I don't forget your suggestion, I will try it for a future update. Thanks.
Hi dandy: Certainly I didn't understand exactly the problem because I tried to do what you said (drag the players from the name, from the pitch etc...) and seems everything works...If you could show me in a screenshot, I appreciate.
And...don't worry about your English. My english is also not very good.

Normally you can drag the player by clicking the name.
It only works if you drag from the number.
Look at the red boxes, you can usually drag of the 2 forms, but since the 1.4 can be only from the number.

Sorry for my English is very bad.
Can i make one suggestion for a next update. Do you think in in DF11 you can make the picture a little more dominant in the panel? For me its a little small. But thats my preference.
I'm not that keen on the Ability 'circles' though
Put this file in the fonts folder of the skin
inbox_title
In the game I use russian language.

Of course, as I can imagine, you understand that is normal that the new versions tend to use less changes. In general, we try to adjust some details more than do great changes. Only if we have a really new idea the new version can present great differences from the older versions. In spite of that, if you look carefully at the skin, you can find lots of changes. Some of them more visible than others. For this version, I edited more than 50 xmls in order to do some changes and fix the most part of the bugs. If you look carefully you can find changes in many of inbox panels and, for instance, in match titlebar and in match inbetween highlights. You also can find new fonts and new graphics like role rating bars and circular icons, new star ratings and status icons.
Concerning the tactics panel and the news panel, I partially agree with you. In fact those panels, although made in my own way/style are inspired (not ripped from) in the great work of Emil Debski on Vitrex Skin panels, like many other skins throughout the various versions of FlutSkin have inspired my work (that's why I gave a special thank you to all the skin makers in my post). Reciprocally, many of skins have been inspired by flut skin. Is normal and, fortunately, this has been the way it has allowed that there are currently great skins.
Thanks anyway for your comment.
Hi dandy: sorry. could you please explain a little bit more?
It does not work in tactics section. You can not select the players.
1.4 updated12/20
Next year I suggest you to make a donate version
Concerning the player pic, please use the DF11 version, because it is prepared for bigger pictures. In the player attributes panel (even in DF11 version) there is a bug that I already fixed. In the next version of the skin that panel will work well.
@Solid Snake: Thanks and sorry. As I said before, I will not edit the skin for other resolutions.
@nymthehavoc:Thanks ;-)
@troy: please read the pdf “How to remove…”
@armbi: As I said, the panel is already fixed and will be included in the next version ;-)
@Ticke: The bug you reported was, in fact, due the new patch. However I already fixed it and will be included in the next release. Untill that you can just delete the file
competition fixtures item panel detailed.xml, from the panels folder of the skin.
I'm currently submerged in work and that's why I couldn't answer your questions. I will try to answer all the questions next weekend....(and yes armbi, I already fixed that panel and the capital letters and the bigger size of logos are included ;-) ).
Flut could you fix this issue?
