FM 2016 Skins - FM 2016 FLUT dark skin v2.3
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.

    reporting back that now everything EXCEPT the pictures works!! I mean they work in terms of they show up, but the player pics are either sitting on top of each other or are cut off. Is this due to me using 2560x1440 resolution? All the citypics and stadiums show up 100% proper now which is awesome!!! See the issue here where the player picture is framed and sitting on top of the already existing picture and in the 2nd example the player pic is cut off:

    Thank you for this great skin. But can you please edit that skin for 1920x1080 resolution with %125 zoomed mod? Some panels overlap when I used zoomed mod. If I use %100 mode, texts are too small, barely readable. I play it in a 15.6 inches notebook, so too difficult to read.

    Hey man!! Great skin, no doubt!! I am not sure if it has anything to do with my 2560x1440 resolution, but everything shows up fine except I have some issues:
    - when using FLUT dark skin 1.3 I only see the citypics, not the stadium pics. I named the backgrounds folder zbackgrounds. If I just name it backgrounds, I can see the stadiums, but they are now in the spot where the citypics used to be just in the center. In the screenies you posted one can see the that you have both citypics and stadiumpics visible at the same time. Neither citypics nor stadiumpics show up in the default skin setting, though I believe that is ok for citypics, yet stadiumpics should show up even in the default skin, right? Why do they never show up together with citypic in center and then the stadium to the right?? Any help would be appreciated!! Pic1 Pic2

    Hi einherjer: thanks ;-)
    Here is the file to fix that problem. Rename it to Club Overview Panel.xml and put it in the panels folder of the skin.

    First of all; i LOVE ur skin mate! The only skin ive used for the last few years :D But i have a question: I used the new panel-xml u made for showing the kits in the profile. But is there a way to change the color of the letters in these two panels: reputation (left of city-pic) and the letters in the panel above the kits? They are black now, and i would like to use white letters.

    Hope u keep on making this skin for many years! :D

    Hi @Zaitsev89 :
    Try the following
    1. Go to Club overview panel.xml and change
    <layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" layout="-3,-1,-1,-1" offset="0" gap="2" />

    By
    <layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" layout="-2,-1,-1,-1" offset="0" gap="2" />

    2. After that, go to club overview details2 and change
    <widget class="picture" id="pict" height="190" scale_picture="true">

    By
    <widget class="picture" id="pict" height="80" scale_picture="true">

    Hi @dassaev :
    Maybe…but I really don’t know (I never tried to find it…). Sorry.
  • Zaitsev89's avatar
    Hi!! first of all.. thanks for the amazing job you did. I'm trying to make some changes to the skin in order to fit it to my 1280x800 resolution.
    Can you guide me to make this part of club overview a little smaller? I need the part with stars, reputation, etc..

    Thanks in advance!!!

    Hi Flut,
    thanks for your support but now i have another question.
    Is there a opinion to change all the "small green text" with a central or general instruction, not panel by panel?

    I hope you unterstand my question and sorry for my english
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi victocoelh: sorry but I will not do a version for other resolutions...;-(
  • victocoelh's avatar
    Flut,
    is the 1366 x 768 resolution version coming out soon?
  • Flut's avatar
    @Rafa92: Sorry but the skin was made for 1929x1080. You can try to use zoom and look at the effect but I really don’t know if it works.

    @troy: I don’t know exactly what are the xmls that DAZS8 keep from my skin. However you can try to find it. Use the pdf I did (“How to remove…”) in order to search that panels in AndroFlut Skin (I suppose you are talking about it) and proceed as I explain in that pdf.

    @dassaev: Use THIS and THIS

    Put it in the panels folder of the skin.

  • Herus's avatar
    After rename it's still doesn't work :P
    Tomorrow i will delete all graphic addons and i will start from beginning - step by step... maybe is some problem with my game... (stadiums, kits and loc. flags doesn't works..)

    Anyway, thanks for reply and support!
    Best regards from Poland!
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Herus

    Rename the folder flags to aaaflags (in order to assure that this is the first folder read by the game).

    Concerning kits it seems everything is okay. I don't know why your game is reading the default kits and not you're kits. Maybe the config of the kits could contain errors....
  • Herus's avatar
    Thanks Flut for you answer.

    1) After replacement this file 'kits' box is working :)
    2) I put 'flag' to graphic folder but Country locator still doesnt work:
    http://i63.tinypic.com/ftn39f.png
    I don't know why...
    http://i63.tinypic.com/axxvrn.png
    3) In case of kits, there are here
    Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2016\graphics\kits\Barclays Premier League 2015-16 v2
    and also doesn't work... You can see in above screen.

    I don't know what i'm doing wrong

    Thanks for your support. You are very helpful
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Herus
    Thanks.
    Concerning the kits, please read carefully the TUTORIAL I included; for maps (country locator) you have to put the folder "flags" in documents/sports interactive/football manager 2016/graphics (as I said in the skin post);

    I noticed that the box on the right of the citypics doesn't work in your game (I noticed that this happens in some games as other guys have the same problem..and I don't know why). So I did a "substitute" (including the kits in that panel). HERE is (put it in the panels folder of the skin)
  • Herus's avatar
    Hi Flut.
    At first thank you very much for this amazing skin!

    I need some support from your side...
    I'm trying more than 2 hours add kits and stadium for this skin, but anywhere i add this files, it's doesn't work :(
    http://i64.tinypic.com/axhaq8.png
    and maps also doesn't work but it isn't necessary.

    Could you write me correct path for these files?
    for example for this: Barclays Premier League Kits 2015/16
    (BTW, sorry for my weak english...)
    Thank you!
  • michaelz1984's avatar
    thanks for the file flut, problem fixed
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi michael: Thanks.

    Is weird..Everything is okay in my game. Maybe there is a conflict with other skins.....Try to clean the cache.
    If doesn't work, you can use THIS. Put it in the panels folder of the skin (I delete that drop down panel and put the kits in that place...).
  • michaelz1984's avatar
