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

Download and extract the .rar file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

Place the "fm2016flutskindark" folder here:
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2016\skins
Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.

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 tummen: Thanks. Sorry but I didn’t understand what “attributes circle” are you talking about. I didn’t understand your request. Sorry. Could you please explain a little bit?

Hi macedorafeal: for the 1.4 sidebar use THIS (place it in the panels folder of the skin). Concerning the other question, please search here. I already explain how to do it several times (sorry but is a little bit tiring to answer the same question several times).

Hi Citizen Sandman: the DF11 version is for use the DF11 player pictures (bigger than the cutout faces)

Great skin!

I just wonder if it's any way to get the "attributes circle" to be shown all the time in the player profile screen?
macedorafael • 9 years ago

Gostaria tambem de utilizar a sidebar que tinha na versão 1.4 . Como devo proceder? Obrigado
macedorafael • 9 years ago

Olá Flut. Sua Skin tá muito bonita. Parabéns pelo trabalho feito. No entanto eu gostaria de mudar as cores dos box dos atributos. Entenda, não é retirar o box, mas sim alterar as cores dele. Como eu faço? Além disso não consegui fazer as modificações de acordo com o tutorial Tutorial for view kits, citypics,locator, comp logosv1.0. Como poderia me ajudar? Obrigado
Citizen Sandman • 9 years ago

what does DF11 stand for?
dhill • 9 years ago

Thanks Flut, your a star
Flut • 9 years ago

dhill: You just have to delete the folder star rating in the following path

graphics/icons/custom
dhill • 9 years ago

Is there any way to change the player "ability" and "potential" icons from the dots to stars (as per other skins) at all please?
Flut • 9 years ago

HI rebelutionist: I took a look on your screenshots and it seems everything is okay. However I think at least the competition logos are missing. You have to duplicate your "normal" competition logos folder and change the config, that should be similar to the following example:

<record from="39" to="graphics/pictures/comp/39/logo/background/right"/>

Hi alain marion: you have to replace this code


<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="236" green="197" blue="1"/>
<colour name="good attribute background" red="52" green="138" blue="4" />
<colour name="excellent attribute background" red="62" green="211" blue="62" />

by this one


<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="140" green="193" blue="242"/>
<colour name="good attribute background" red="151" green="191" blue="13" />
<colour name="excellent attribute background" red="248" green="179" blue="86" />

Don't forget exit the game and reload it.
rebelutionist • 9 years ago

Hi Flut,

Thank you so much! Everything now works fine except for the club and competition logos. I have tried very hard but I just don't understand the PDF Tutorial.

I do not have the folders your tutorial shows and not sure where to get them or what to have in them.

Please look at this link to see my folders: https://imgur.com/a/A18F7

Maybe I am a little too dumb to understand the technical things regarding this part. I am sorry I don't understand what I must do.

This looks like the final issue for me to fix then I will be running perfect.
Many thanks again, your help fixed all my other issues

Much love.
alain marion • 9 years ago

Hello flut, i would like to ask you how i could change the colours of the attributes (1.5 version ) to the colours of attributes (1.4 version)..which code i have to replace?
Flut • 9 years ago

Ho rebelutionist:

Go to player overview panel and find the following code:

1
<widget class="editable_client_object_property_panel" id="pnat" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" image_alignment="centre"><layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="15"/>
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" />

CHange the value "0" of the inset (this will reduce the logo).
If you want, you can also change the value inset="15" (this value move the logo top/down of the panel).

2
Concerning the club and competition logos, please read the Tutorial pdf I included in the skin pack.

3.
In order to activate the backgrounds you 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:


<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>

Don't forget that some backgrounds will be the citypics since citypics sharing the code with some stadium backgrounds.
rebelutionist • 9 years ago

Hi Flut, thank you for an amazing skin it is my favourite!!

I am having some minor issues though, mostly regarding club, competition and national logos not displaying correctly. Also, I have not been able to use custom stadium backgrounds

Could you please assist me in fixing these issues, I have attached 2 screenshots highlighting the problems and if it helps, I play on 1920x1080 full screen. Many thanks in advance.

@Arkon: sorry, I didn’t notice that and nobody else reported that bug. I don’t know how to help you.

@guiseleyfan:

You have to edit it in the settings.xml.
Find the following code and change the values of red, green and blue.
Exit the game and reload it.

<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="236" green="197" blue="1"/>
<colour name="good attribute background" red="52" green="138" blue="4"/>
<colour name="excellent attribute background" red="62" green="211" blue="62"/>

The difference between Dark and DF11 Dark is only in some panels with the player picture. The space is a little bit greater in order to adjust to the DF11 faces style.
