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.

    Hey just wanted to thank you Flut for your wonderful skin (can't live without it since fm 13)

    There is only one thing that I don't like about the skin and that is the attribute colors. I like having other colors like Red for excellent attribute, orange for very good and so on.

    How can I change the attribute colors from the player profiles? Tried editting the fm colors section in the skin configuration xml file but didn't work.

    Please! The skin would be perfect with these changed to my liking

    Thank you very much DAZS8!!!
    I just joined Football Managers community a month ago and it isn't that easy to find all informations/files because there isn't that main place/website where you can find all stuff you need for a complete FM modding experience. Also there are many misleading information about modding FM in the world wide web. Most people focus on folder structures when they try to nail down something non-working. But in fact all is about correct config editing. At least in FM16, I don't know anything about earlier modding.
    Also your closed facebook group isn't that easy to find via google =D But I joined it and am downloading the background pack with stadium ID config.

    Don't get me wrong, I love modding, I know that 99% of modders do their work in free time, so again, a big THANK YOU for hard work to get FM16 the way you want :)

    Thanks to Flut, too, for your fast answer and really good support for your skin. Got many informations I needed about manually editing the skin right here in this comment section ;)

    I am also working on an update pack that will have outside of stadium pictures with these id's
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi chrischaan: First of all thanks. Concerning your question, I think you're right and I really don't know if you can find a pack with the configs like you showed. I downloaded the pictures I have for a long time ago. Try to find it for FM 13, 14 and so on...
  • chrischaan's avatar
    Hey Flut,

    while trying to make background stadium pics work alongside FMC stadium pics in "pre match panel" I figured out that I have to link the background pictures this way:

    <record from="8714658" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/29074562/background"/>

    While 29074562 is the stadium ID of the team I want the background pic to be assigned to (in this example the team is "Ingolstadt").

    Unfortunetly there seems to be no stadium background pack which offers configs like this! I know you mentioned a pack of Sortitoutsi a couple of posts back, but it only offers compatible configs for UK leagues (in fact, i didn't check all configs, but the major league ones) :-/ Is there any other pack out there I overlook or do I have to go through config-editing-hell by myself? =D

    Thanks in adavnce!
    ...and of course for the wonderful skin ;)

    Thanks Flut! The best skin for FM 16 :)
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Dennis: Thanks ;-)

    You just have to go to the settings.xml and change the following values

    <!-- 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="128" green="188" blue="244"/>
    <colour name="good attribute background" red="15" green="158" blue="15" />
    <colour name="excellent attribute background" red="28" green="207" blue="28" />

    After changes, exit the game and reload it.

    Hi Flut. Great skin you've made. I got a question for you. Is it possible to change the color of the players attributes?
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Rmutt: that boxes are in the following path graphics/buttons/custom/status and each one of them have a colour. So, I think if you try to change the colour of that boxes in the settings folder it doesn't work.

    Thank you for the response, here's a pic:

    As you can see all my "info" boxes are red.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi rmutt: thanks. Could you please place a screenshoit of the problem?

    Hi moomind: the skin works properly in 1920x1080, full screen mode, 100%
  • Rmutt's avatar
    Hi Flut, great skin been using it for a long time.

    I'm having a problem with the "player status information" tabs on the Squad/Tactic/squad selection/etc screen. Regardless of the info (wanted,PR, Rsv, Sus, etc.) they are all red colored boxes. I've used the settings.xml to change attribute colors for players successfully and have found where I should be able to change the info colors but they all seem to be overridden by red regardless of what colors I select. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    Hi blindsniper: you see the stadium background in the match pre match panel (the picture alternate between the FMC stadium and the background stadium).

  • BlindSniper's avatar
    Flut, thanks for your skin & packs. I've read your tutorial but still have a question: how should those 3 packs work? In the club info I see the city to the left and I see the stadium from FMC pack among the changing info to the right. And where should I see the one from background pack? Cause I don't see it.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi citizen: You can find it in sourtitoutsi
  • Citizen Sandman's avatar

  • Flut's avatar
    Hi citizen sandman: The second is also the stadium picture. However one of the pics is from the FMC stadium pack and the other one from background stadium pack-
