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.

    Thanks Flut for taking my request.

    To make the skin better I'm referring to some more bugs that exist. We can live with these though....
    1. In the "Board" tab, the Staff panel which shows the count is not working.
    2. The "ability" and "potential" ratings in the scout reports that your assistant sends to ur inbox is not working. (I think someone filed this bug already)
    3. Season Expectations where u commit Cup wins, etc at the beginning of the season is not working properly. (inbox)
    4. In the players section, Positions segment is not working correctly. Pls see screenshot:

    Also the logo seems to be misaligned.

    Question: Is there a way I can change the default background image? I did for the TV logo. But for this?

    Again, thanks a lot for giving us such a beautiful skin. In fact skins like these make FM experience way better....

    Thank you armbi!!!!

    FLUT! My friend! I just came here not to ask you about further help (cause I got no problem for now), but to thank you again for you masterpiece work!!! Coloured boxes around attributes numbers in the player profile was everything I needed! I think and a see you gained lots of fans which you deserved. Cheers mate!

    Ok man , thanks for your great work on your skin.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Raja. Thanks. The new version will have the bug fixed and also a resizeable panel with lots of statistic information. ;-)

    Hi wolverine: thanks!1 unfortunately the config for DNK is similar to the citypics. So we only can see one of them or the other.
  • Raja's avatar
    Flut,
    Pls find attached screenshot.

    This skin is one of the best around ever , i really wish i could use DNK Backgrounds ( the ones with the club logo and colour as background : a-dnk-2015-bg-megapack.html) with it , is there some way i can go around this and have Flut Skin with DNK Backgrounds instead of the blue background ? If i could do this it would be awesome .
  • Flut's avatar
    Don't forget that after change the background boxes attributes colours you have to exit the game and reload it (if not works, clear the cache and reload the game).
  • robinsonik's avatar
    Could you add up the corrected file xml ? I did as you wrote , but the colors are still the same?
  • Flut's avatar
    In order to change the atribute background boxes colours you have to go to the settings folder and change the values in the following code

    <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" />

    After that you have to exit game and reload it.

    How to change the color attributes of the players on your own? Despite the changes on its own color in the game menu and as always are default color attributes, and they are not too well chosen .
  • melnibonian's avatar
    Great thanks for that
  • mtmt's avatar
    @Flut: I'm deleted scouted players list panel.xml , and now displays reports Scouts. Thnx :) Amazing skin ;)
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi mtmt

    I already solved the problem you reported.
    In the next version it will be fixed ;-)

    cheers
  • Flut's avatar
    @kabalyer: the panel is the match inbetween highlights panel (however you have to open it if you want to know what are the specific panels responsible for each one of the displayed information)

    @KongeMeier: Thanks ;-)

    @mtmt: that bug is weird. I can’t help you yet because in my game I never saw that panel yet (and apparently everything is okay in the xml I changed…). However if you want to change to the original panel you just have to delete the scouted players list panel.xml (in the news_item_panels folder inside the panels folder)

    @armbi: You just have to download the latest version of the skin. I also will include that kind of boxes in all the other panels with player/managers attributes in the next version of the skin.

    @Raja: Thanks! The second bug is already fixed it; concerning the first one, could you please put a screenshot?

    @gk31: yes. In the next version I will include it.

    @melnibonian: Go to graphics logos and put the name 1.png in the TV logo you want as default.

    @jorgepinho: you can find FMC stadiums pack here in FMScout
  • JorgePinho1991's avatar
    Hello, where can i find the stadiums pack by the way? could you give a link for that? thanks in advance
  • melnibonian's avatar
    Fantastic skin. Just one quick question. How can I change the TV logo during the actual match? On the config file it mentions a file called default but I cannot find it.

    Thanks a lot in advance
  • gk31's avatar

  • KongeMeier's avatar
    I finally found a solution to my issue, so you can scratch my question!
  • Raja's avatar
    Things that are really cool...

    1. Glass (Transparent) windows in Matches .
    2. Team information at the top with the Competition logo.
    3. Players screen - Signature beneath the player image - shows how much you went into details.

    Hats off!

    I like these very much! Thanks buddy!!!
  • Raja's avatar
    Flut,
    Skin for DF11 - Amazing!

    Few minor bugs:
    1. During the match, "Substitution" notification panel is messed.
    2. The tiny floating window "Formation" does not show player names as tool tips
  • KongeMeier's avatar
    Woops! Just saw I just wrote "side" in my question. By side I mean "sidebar menu".

    Again, thanks for your work with this skin!
  • armbi's avatar
    How can I get these boxes around attributes instead of simple numbers???

  • mtmt's avatar
    Hi, Flut! The problem is that the report does not appear Scouts of players, when the default skin all right! How can I fix this?

  • KongeMeier's avatar
    Great skin, Flut!

    I'm just messing around to try and fix a few things to my liking, but I'm kinda stuck on a few issues.

    I've made the side transparent. It works fine when I'm on all other teams but my own. Then it's solid gray. How do I change that?

    Thanks!
