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).

    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.

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.

    In the previous pic, I should see stadium pic over "ST JAMES' PARK but I see nothing..or am I wrong? and here: https://i.imgur.com/C5td3iN.jpg I should see the stadium pic under St. James' Park..or am I wrong?
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi ncamb: In fact everything is okay. In some panels (like the club overview) because the citypics have the same code that background satdiums, the citypics will be shown as background. In the panels like the stadium panel the stadium background will be shown

    Hi kirkhenry: I don't know what happens because as you can see everything is okay in my game. Maybe is a conflict between skins. Try to clean the cache keep only the 1.7 version in the skins folder and reload the game.

    Hi Flut,

    I'm trying to use dazs8 backgrounds for stadiums but I can't get them to work.. I've tryied changing the config in something like this but it didn't work: <record from="porto" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/745265/background"/>
  • sarum's avatar
    clear cache did the trick! Thanks Flut!
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi sarum: are you sure you tried exactly what I told you and in the code I told you?
    If the answer is yes, exit the game, clean the cache and reload it.
  • sarum's avatar
    Hi Flut,

    Thanks for your quick reply. However, i have tried that already, but for some reason it didn't work. Still same color after i made the change and reload the skin. :(
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi sarum
    You can change it in the settings xml.
    Search for:

    <!-- background attribute box colours Flut 1.6 -->
    <colour name="unknown attribute background" red="210" green="210" blue="210"/>
    <colour name="low attribute background" red="241" green="159" blue="193"/>
    <!--<colour name="normal attribute background" red="248" green="207" blue="0"/>-->
    <colour name="normal attribute background" red="128" green="188" blue="244"/>
    <!--<colour name="good attribute background" red="83" green="184" blue="66" />-->
    <colour name="good attribute background" red="15" green="158" blue="15" />
    <!--<colour name="excellent attribute background" red="62" green="211" blue="62" />-->
    <colour name="excellent attribute background" red="28" green="207" blue="28" />

    Change the values of
    <colour name="good attribute background" red="15" green="158" blue="15" />

    After that exit the game and reload it.

    Hi Flut,

    Is it possible to change the background attribute box colors? Right now both good attributes and excellent attributes' color are very similar (green). I would like to change good attributes color to something else other than green. I have tried to change the fm2016flutskindark settings.xml file, but nothing happened after i change the color.
  • Flut's avatar
    I don't know how to do it yet. Sorry.
  • fascinoso73's avatar

    Hi fascinoso:
    Place THIS in the panels folder of the skin

    and

    THIS in the settings folder of the skin
  • fascinoso73's avatar
    how to make the Sidebar completely transparent?
  • Flut's avatar
    No one of them. You can find the stadium pack of DAZS8.
    Look down at the posts of DAZS8

    I don't really understand. I have one config like

    to="graphics/pictures/club/1301165/background"/>
    <record from="1301175"

    and one like

    to="graphics/pictures/stadium/1004/stadium"/>
    <record from="1004103"


    I don't understand the difference in what you've posted to me

    <record from="porto" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/745265/background"/>


    How can I mass create for this? Which of the above is "ok" to use
  • Flut's avatar
    Because you need to have a pack with background stadiums with the config as I told you. If the config is different you only can see the FMC Stadium.
  • Citizen Sandman's avatar
    as I mentioned previously http://s191.photobucket.com/user/robothouse_2007/media/save_zpsheshdjwq.png.html

    then two seconds later it shows a working stadium. Why do I not see both
  • Flut's avatar
    I didn't understand your last post. Sorry.
  • Citizen Sandman's avatar
    yes but I have only 1 out of 2 stadium pics showing. you seemed to imply before you have have two alternating
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi citizen: In order to show the background stadiums the config for stadiums should be similar to the following (note that the ID is the unique ID of the satdium and not of the club)

    <record from="porto" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/745265/background"/>

  • Flut's avatar

  • topotamolder's avatar
    nevermind, I fixed it!

    Thanks again for your wonderful work
