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.

    Hi Feeljay
    I already fixed it. Thanks for your report. In the next version the panel will be okay.

    Hi Guiseley
    Thanks.
    I fixed also the problem (the first one) you reported. Now the panel have a scrolling box.
    Concerning the yellow, I will be fix the problem when the Resource Archiver will be released because this is a new panel of FM16 and I have not access to that panel yet.

    cheers

    One other thing... if you go look at league player stats that top section at the top the yellow with white text is hard on the eyes chance the yellow could be changed to a different color?
  • GuiseleyFan00's avatar
    great job on the skin... currently using the 1920x1080 or what ever it is that it's recommended... anyways when i go to board and look at my staff in the lower left as to what i can sign and cant the scouts and anything under my under U18 staff is cut off and I cant scroll down to see how many scouts.. I can post a screenshot if needed

    Hi richy

    Go to news_item_panels folder (inside the panels folder of the skin) and delete the file:

    season expectations option panel.xml

    This, fixes the problem you noticed.

    Hi richy
    Could you please put a screenshot?

    Andre
    Unfortunately this year I will not make a 1366x768 version. Sorry.
  • JoseBourinho56's avatar
    I love this skin but I've noticed when you're selecting your expectations before the start of a season the boxes are glitched and don't appear, so I have to revert back to default then back, just to select my expectations.
  • Andrefm12's avatar
    can it be used for 1366x768 resolution or will you update it like you did for last years game?

    After that, go to graphics/boxes/subsection/standard and open the xml file named paper24

    Search for:

    <colour id="red_replacement" name=""/>
    <colour id="green_replacement" name=""/>
    <colour id="blue_replacement" name=""/>

    and change to

    <colour id="red_replacement" name="grey"/>

    Hi TaINtB97

    You can find it in FMIF forum.
  • TalNtB97's avatar
    where i can get download to your logos ?
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi DAZS8
    Yes, of course.

    You just have to go to client object browser.xml and change the code

    <widget class="picture" file="backgrounds/default" id="lggg">
    <record id="object_property">
    <integer id="get_property" value="lggg" />
    <integer id="set_property" value="pict" />
    </record>
    </widget>

    by this one:


    <!-- background picture - covers entire screen -->
    <widget class="background" file="backgrounds/default" id="bgnd">
    <record id="object_property">
    <integer id="get_property" value="bgnd" />
    <integer id="set_property" value="file" />
    </record>
    </widget>

    Hi Kevinho

    Go to match view selector highlight popup.xml find the code:

    <container class="subsection_box" id="SUBP" appearance="boxes/subsection/standard/paper" font="fonts/capitals_bold" colour="title">

    and change paper for paper31
