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.

    Hi Flut!Good job!
    I need two clarifications :
    In the player profile you can delete the background of the smartphone , leaving only the classic rectangle ?

    I followed the pdf file but I just can not understand how to view the competition logos on the title bar and on player detail and the kits in player details.
    I did not understand if I have to create folders but especially what to put inside....
    Thanks.

    Hi zyndar. Thank you. I already fixed it.
  • zyndar's avatar
    Hi Flut,

    Here is my next input.
    The buttons under the 'Average Positions' are black.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi all


    Sorry but I have not had time to answer all the questions.
    I will try to solve some of he bugs you reported for the new version of the skin (some of them I already fixed it).
    However the "bugs" concerned to the screen resolutions I can't fix it. As I said in the skin post, the skin is made in order to work well in my own screen (1920x1080) and I have no intention to do versions for other screen resolutions (sorry...:( )

    Answering the people ask me about the logo packs and kits I use: logo: FMIF logos (an italian forum); kits - FC Kits (you can find it here in FM Scout).

    Concerning DF version..maybe later...

    First off, I love this skin!
    I am just trying to work out a few minor appearance issues I've noticed. Mainly on the player profiles page. I'm getting the name/birthday/etc under the picture all out of line.
    Like this:

    Additionally, on the player attributes page, the jersey with the name and number on the back is a little off-center.
    Like this:
    http://i65.tinypic.com/14tle0j.jpg

    Any fixes for these?

    Lastly, what country logo pack are you using to get those nice country crests on the profile page instead of just the country flag?

    Thanks!
  • zyndar's avatar
    Thanks a lot Flut.

    Another note from me is that on this screen the advised/current number of staffs is not visible.

    Flut,
    Amazing work, thanks! I have the same question MYKAL has. What logo packs and kit pack are your referring to?
  • mykal's avatar
    any chance you tell me what logo packs and kit pack you are using in your examples please, also on the national team screen the left jersey icon is being overlapped by the national flag
  • ahcadam's avatar
    Hey Flut, great skin...shame I only have a 1366x768 laptop monitor...how much is the skin distorted or affected by the smaller size?
  • Ackery1's avatar
    Could you do this skin in 1600 x 900, 60.00Hz?? Thanks

    DF 11 facepacks version?
  • armbi's avatar
    No, no you don't understand. Attributes container has widen, as I wanted, you made it. But it doesn't change the very same attributes number which is sticked to the right in every column. What I think would work is to move entire column. I did that with some skin in the FM 15, but that skin had separate panels (A on the attached screenshot) and inside those panels where the lines where I changed red marked value (B on the screenshot).

    Your skin panels folder doesn't contain these panels.

  • Flut's avatar
    @zyndar: HERE is the file to fix the bug you reported. Put it in the panels folder of the skin (I suppose you play with white skin).

    @armbi:Thanks for your words. Concerning the problem try to do the following:

    1. go to player profile panel (that one I sent you)
    2. search for
    <container default_height="430" priority="1">
    <layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" offset="0" layout="-1,-2, -1" gap="1" />

    3. The values -1,-2,-1 concerning the width of the top boxes in that panel. As you can see the central boxes have 2x the other boxes width. Instead that numbers (that are relative numbers) you can use an absolute value for the central box. You have to use the try and error method. Start, for instance by layout="-1, 600,-1" and take a look in order to know what is the result. If 600 is high (the box is larger than you want), reduce the value; if 600 is to low (the box is smaller than you want), increase the value.

    Once again - big thanks mate! date widgets now works perfect! But still got dots instead of numbers :( I don't want to bother you with such details, you surley got enough making corrections for anyone. Could you tell me what xml lines to change to have the effect I talk about. I can try myself.

    Man, seriously your skin is fuckin peace of artistry. You cared for many many details so that skin looks just beautiful not like this SI default skin...
  • zyndar's avatar
    Hi Flut!

    First of all thank you for the skin, I really appreciate your work!

    Can you please modify this screen, as the subs panel is too dark and player positions cannot be read at all?
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi armbi

    Here is the files with the changes you want.

  • armbi's avatar
    FLUT, maybe just tell me what lines in profile xml I should edit to enlarge attributes container in horizontal
  • armbi's avatar
    Hi FLUT. Thanks for the quick replay and your work! I appreciate! But I meant not to change sides of the 'attributes container' and 'scout report container' just to widen 'attributes container' because some uncovered attributes have dots instead of numbers (as in the screen attached)

    And second problem is that the date is black on black background on some FM screens (also marked in the screen attached), could you make it only white.

    Big big thanks!

  • armbi's avatar
    Hello FLUT! Firsdt of all I'd like to thank you for your skin! It's god damn awesome job!!! Best skin ever! I love it! However I got some questions.

    On the first screen I have a problem with yellow background that makes statistics unreadable. How can I change that?

    On the second screen I'd like to spread attribute container to the left or right or both (yellow arrows). And also put the date from the right edge of the header to the left (as yellow arrow shows on the screen). Please help.
