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 Lemzo: use THIS. Put it in the panels folder of the skin.
  • Bengo's avatar
    @Flut you are a legend thanks. Your work is always greatly appreciated. SI needs to find a way to recognize skinners like you.
  • Lemzo Gaye's avatar
    Perfect, it's done, thank you ! But how can I reuse the oldest panel, with the column "points per match" ?
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Lemzo: go to the panels folder of the skin and delete the following file: league stage panel views.xml
  • Lemzo Gaye's avatar
    Of course !

    This is the new version : league table now

    And this is the version that I want to reuse : league table before

    Thanks for your help.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Lemzo: could you please put screenshots with the new and the old (that one you want) panels?
  • Lemzo Gaye's avatar
    Hi Flut, Thanks for your brilliant skin !!
    However, I regret the league table presentation (home, away, total). I preferred your older version, with only the points per match average, it was simpler and clearer in my view.
    Is it possible to reuse this version ? Thanks for your work!
  • Flut's avatar
    @Bartude: Thanks!

    @Bengo: yes. You can use THIS. Put it in the panels folder of the skin.

    @DAZS8: Thanks :-)

    @Shevchenko: Is not a bug. In fact, if there are lots of trophies, the space for display all of them is not enough (that's why you have a link to the panels of all records and trophies). However if you want, you can reduce the picture of each trophy in order to include all the trophies.
    Go to team container honours panel1 (in the panels folder of the skin), search for the code:

    <container>

    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" layout_children="true" inset="0" />

    Increase the value of inset.

    I had the same issue with the older version.
  • Shevchenko86's avatar
    Hi, do you know why I can have this issue: http://prntscr.com/c10fu7 ??

    I only see some of the real trophies :/
  • Daz8's avatar
    Brilliant skin as always
  • Bengo's avatar
    Is it possible to change the attributes panel where it lists CA/PA, versatility, injury prone, etc back to the previous version where it listed Foot, personality, etc? Id rather those numbers not be showing.
  • Bartdude's avatar
    My all-time favourite as you've used the best elements of other great creators and combined them to make a brilliant skin.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi @tafabane: thanks. Unfortunately in order to adjust for other resolutions it is necessary to edit lots of xml and I have no time to do it (and, honestly,I also have no patience to do it). In the last season (for FM15) I did a version for small resolutions (I did it especially for the FM players and not for me since I play in 1920x1080) but considering the amount of downloads, the effort had no return.
    cheers
  • tafabane's avatar
    We are begging you to make a version for other screens' size. We cannot truely enjoy FM without your skin.
    Please ! For God's sake! :'(
  • pmpou1's avatar
    hi I clear cache and everything works flawlessly!!!!!!!
    thank you for all!!!!
  • pmpou1's avatar
    Hi...... unfortunately the problem still exists
    and now delayed frame.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi pmpou: in fact there is a bug in that panel. You only can see the colour of the kits if we leave the panel and returns. However I fixed it with an alternative. Instead of kits the panel can show the team logos. Put the following files in the panels folder of the skin:

    DOWNLOAD1

    DOWNLOAD2

    DOWNLOAD3

  • pmpou1's avatar
    hi.....
    The kits/logos not appear
    how can I add???? [img]file:///C:/Users/pmpou/Desktop/test.jpg[/img]
  • Flut's avatar
    Thanks spanish Red. In fact I think in my game the country locator only is shown incorrectly in match pre match panel (but I already fixed it today). But thanks anyway.

    Sorry, I found them and deleted them before I got your answer so I can't send a screenshot. I was playing as England and the locaters were showing after the game when the scores for all the internationals were shown and at the top of the screen in the lead up to a match when the two teams are shown in a small font. Hope this helps.
  • Flut's avatar
    The country locator is in the following path: skin/graphics/pictures/flags
    Could you please send me screenshots where the country locator is shown instead of logos? Thanks.
  • Spanish Red's avatar
    I have reached the conclusion that the country locater is not necessary. It brings nothing to the game so I would likr to remove them from the skin. Can you let me know where they are? Thanks.
  • Spanish Red's avatar
    Thanks Flut. The skin is still showing the country locater instead of the logos in a few places, such as the scores after a round of international matches and some other places.
