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.

How to add Flut dark skin in FM16

  1. Download and extract the .rar file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

  2. Place the "fm2016flutskindark" folder here:
    Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2016\skins
    Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.

  3. Start FM16 and go to Preferences screen and then into the Interface tab.
    You should see FM 2016 Flut Skin - v.2.3 - Dark Version as option in the skin drop down of the Overview box.
    Hit the Confirm button.

Please note this skin is provided as is. It has nothing to do with Sports Interactive or SEGA and won't be supported by them.

  • Raja's avatar
    Flut,
    What's the release date of the new version? :)
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi raja. Sorry but I didn't understand what is the "pep talk feedback" and what you ask/suggest. Could you please explain again and show a screenshot?
  • Raja's avatar
    Flut, / Other friends,
    This may be hypothetical. Is it possible to view the "pep talk feedback" in any of the panels?
    Everytime I see it a pain navigating to my Ass.Manager screen and looking at it. Is there a shortcut available?

    Pls help!

    @Flut, hi again, I solved my previous problems and have a new one:)
    at club overview page, i cannot see the clubs key employees, i use df11 facepacks, do you have any solution?
    thanks in advance,
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi teo. Ok.
  • Teo's avatar
    @Flut: thank you for your Help, i have try to solve but i don´t find the way :) Can i write you a PM?
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi attrack, if you want send me a PM and I will try to help you.
  • attrack's avatar
    @Flut thank u for your aswer, i took all the kits and left only the "Liga Nos kits 2015-16 v1.3" still the same, then added the "FC’12 Defaults for FM16" and it still the same, and i didnt get what i need to change to make 3 work
  • Flut's avatar
    @Teo: thanks. Concerning your question, please read the skin post and also the tutorial. In fact in order to look like I showed in the screenshots you have to include the country locator.

    @attrack:
    1. The problem is not related with the skin. You have the FC12 Kits but the “effect” is from other kind of kits. You have to download the default FC12 kits pack because it includes the “effect” kit for that style;

    2. The blue background is shown because you have not a background picture of the stadium. If you download the background stadiums pack, that panel will show two images, one from de FMC Stadium Pack and the other from backgrounds stadium pack.

    3. The competition logo shown there is the right background. The config have to be similar to the following

    <record from="39" to="graphics/pictures/comp/39/logo/background/right"/>
    (in this example, 39 is the ID of competition)

    @fero1907 : Sorry but I don’t know how to help you. Maybe the logos in table are the small logos and in club details the normal logos…..Concerning nicknames, in my game the nicknames are ok.

    @robinsonik: I don’t know what happens. It is supposed to work. Are you sure you changed the right code (those one starting by <!—and finishing by --> are not active). You have to change the following:
    <colour name="unknown attribute background" red="210" green="210" blue="210"/>
    <colour name="low attribute background" red="197" green="221" blue="242"/>
    <colour name="normal attribute background" red="150" green="198" blue="242"/>
    <colour name="good attribute background" red="161" green="193" blue="51" />
    <colour name="excellent attribute background" red="117" green="147" blue="13" />

    @Kirkhenry: as fero1907 already said, please look at my older posts

    @Raja: You have to increase the size of the image you want to use as default (I don’t remember now how to make work well the backgrounds with resolution lower than 1920…sorry). Concerning the The bugs: Solved!!
  • fero1907's avatar
    Hi Flut, I have problem with logo pack I use/ I use metallic logo pack, I can see the small logos at every screen such as league table, but when I open the club page, I see a logo completely different from metallic one at club details. Also I dont see the nicknames of the clubs. Would you suggest something for me? thanks in advance
  • fero1907's avatar
    @kirkhenry, look for the the older posts by flut, i found the solution.
  • robinsonik's avatar
    Was it the line to be able to set your own colors attributes footballer ? I changed , I removed the cache, refreshed skin , ran the game again , and attributes are still in your colors ? What should I do ?

    <!-- background attribute box colours Flut original -->
    <colour name="unknown attribute background" red="210" green="210" blue="210"/>
    <colour name="low attribute background" red="197" green="221" blue="242"/>
    <colour name="normal attribute background" red="150" green="198" blue="242"/>
    <colour name="good attribute background" red="161" green="193" blue="51" />
    <colour name="excellent attribute background" red="117" green="147" blue="13" />

    Hi Flut,
    I am using DARK DF 11 but find the problems in the player profile side. The attributes cannot show in right hand side, how to fix it?
    Many thanks :)
  • Raja's avatar
    Flut,
    I think the Background images resolution i slower than 1920x. So if i make them as ddefault my screen is cut at the bottom and the sides. Do u have the full resolution pics?

    Few more bugs:

    That's cool dude!!! You are awesome.
    Eagerly waiting for the next release!!! :) :) :)
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Raja:

    Thanks ;-)

    Concerning the reported bugs, 1, 2 and 3 are already fixed it and will be included in the next version of the skin.

    Related to the 4, the position box works well in my game…so I don’t know how to help you; I also centered the logos in the next version (however it seems you are using the background logo and in that place you should use the normal club logo…);

    You can change the default background image in graphics/backgrounds (you just have to select the image you want and put the name default (overwrite the default I use).

    Cheers
    flut
