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.

    Spanish Red: The xml changed for fix that bug are:

    - inbox mini profile team fixture info panel element (this is in the news_item_panel)
  • Spanish Red's avatar
    How did you fix the bug responsible for showing country locater instead of logo? I need to do it on one of your earlier pimped skins. Thanks

    do the same as the movie Ratatouille, "surprise me". each version with a twist. we were very grateful for their commitment to do something tasteful.

    tradução:
    fazer ao igual ao filme ratatouille:"supreenda-me". cada versão com uma novidade. ficamos muito agradecido pelo seu empenho em fazer algo de muito bom gosto.

    Flut can do a couple of fonts in the Start Menu to replace those of the Skins?
    I did not understand how to edit or delete it.
    Thank you so much!
  • GuiseleyFan00's avatar
    my game still reads 2.0 thats after i deleted the old directory under skins and copy and pasted the new directory?
  • GuiseleyFan00's avatar
    love the rinaldo player profile screenshot is that what it will be default wise or how do i get it to appear like that
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi fascinoso: you should change all lines with font=fonts/main menu and font=fonts/main_menu_header (you should rename the font - for example main menu - according to your choice).
    However, if you prefer you can not edit the xml and change the font only. For that choose the fonts you want, call the fonts "main menu" and "main_menu_header" and put the fonts files in the fonts folder of the skin.

    Hi Lacazette: sorry but I didn't understand your answer. However, if you are talking about backgrounds, the skin doesn't have backgrounds (the skin accept the use of backgrounds but I didn't include the backgrounds pack). So, if you have a background of Lyon you have to change it (if you want, send me the picture of the new stadium and I can do it for you).

    Hi vonreichsm: Yes, you are absolutely right. I forgot the new version number (thanks for the notice), sorry. However the version is the 2.1. If you want you can change it in skin_config.xml
  • vonholzminden's avatar
    hi flut. thanks for the new version of your skin. could it be that you forgot the new version number in the skinsettings? there is still the version 2.0 called.
  • Lacazette99's avatar
    Hi, can you modify the background of Lyon ? It's a picture of the former stadium (gerland)
  • fascinoso73's avatar
    To change the font in the Start menu, I have to change the style in the line "Header Text?"; semi_bold, shadowed ??
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Doddo04: Thanks :-)

    Hi fascinoso73: thanks. You can change the font of the start menu in the intro panel.xml, located on:
    Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2016\skins\fm2016flutskindark\panels\game
  • fascinoso73's avatar
    Hello Flut!
    Very nice the Skin!!
    How can I change the font of the start menu?
  • Doddo04's avatar
    thanks flut for your great work
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Simque1: Thanks :-) You can find the mini stadiums in the FOOTBALL MANAGER BACKGROUNDS SUPERPACK (the link is above, in the post). You just have to add the stadiums you did and change the config.
  • Simque16's avatar
    Hey Flut...Amazing job with the skin :) I have one question though. I changed some city and stadium backgrounds in Slovenia (mostly updated them) but I can't find the smaller stadium pictures that also appear one the fixtures list. I just want to add three more stadiums to three unplayable local teams and update the stadium from NK Celje :)
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi armbi: thanks :-)
  • armbi's avatar
    Thanks for quick replay Flut ;) I guess I won't do this myself, and actually I wanted to ask you :D but I realize as you say it's a lot of work so I stay with your skin just how it is now. Thank again bro :)
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi armbi: thanks. Concerning your question, the answer is yes, you could do that. However lots of changes in player overview panel will be required and also you have to import lots of xml and graphics from yacs skin.
  • armbi's avatar
    Hi Flut! I'm still amazed at your skin. It's awesome! But I got one question. Is there a possibility you could add in your skin to players profile panels (panini etc.) this:

  • Flut's avatar
    Hi perico: the skin is for career only, don't forget. If you follow all the steps the skin should be shown. Concerning the faces, and logos:
    - faces are cutout
    - logos are from FMIF (an italian forum)
  • perico1991's avatar
    Hola me gustaría saber donde has sacado los logos y las caras de los jugadores muchas gracias
