FM 2016 Skins - FM 2016 FLUT skin v2.3
FM 2016 FLUT skin v2.3
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 White 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.



This skin is compatible with DF11, Scope and Cutout Faces
.


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 Skin in FM16

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

  2. Place the "fm2016flutskin" folder here:
    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 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.

    ive done exactly what you said FLUT but the skin is still as white as it usually it isn't transparent at all
  • Valeron's avatar
    Thanks once again, Flut! That did the job perfectly. Good job on continuing to make Flut Skin better and better!
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi decham: If you use the dark skin, the panels are transparent. Then you can see the backgrounds. However, if you want to see the background stadiums, you ou 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:


    <!-- background picture - covers entire screen -->
    <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.

    Hi Erik: Please read the pdf "How to remove..." included in the skin pack.

    Hi Valeron: go to player personal details panel1

    search for the code

    <widget class="picture" id="lgtF" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" image_alignment="centre">
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="0"/>
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" />

    and increase the value of the inset in the last line.

    cheers

    how do i make the boxes transparent so i can see backgrounds.
  • Valeron's avatar
    Hi Flut, could you please tell me which file and which lines I need to edit in order to shrink the club logo size right next to the player portrait? See: https://fmshots.com/bk/19Og0em.png. Thanks in advance, and happy new year!
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi zoti: I think your problem will be fixed in the next version (where I place the boxes a little bit higher....

    Hi toman: the space for player picture is bigger in DF11 in order to adjust to the DF11 pictures style.
  • Toman's avatar
    Hi Flut,i have question for you... what is different between classic Flutskin and DF11 version?sorry for my english
  • zoti's avatar
    Hi Flut, i love your skin. I have a little Problem, i play in windowed mode (i know the skin isn't optimized for windowed). On my tactic screen http://www.pic-upload.de/view-29227689/tacticscreen.png.html you see my problem, the arrows mark this, how i get this higher?

    Thanks
  • Flut's avatar
    I'm pleased it works. And thanks for your support Caliburn.
  • Caliburn's avatar
    Hi Flut. Thanks for all your help. Everything worked. My compliments on a great skin and all your hard work. You definitely make the best skins for FM. I always download your skins every year. Thanks again!!!
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi caliburn: you also should include the tactics icon info panel overview.xml
    It works well.

    Hi orasinho: I couldn't saw your screenshots again..the link doesn't exist.

    Hi Flut. Thanks for the help. I placed the kit folder from v1.4 into the graphics/pictures folder of v1.2 but the blocks in the tactics pitch still showed up instead of the kits. Do I need to edit an xml file or copy over a panel from v1.4. I'm testing things out on v1.2 to see if it will work. Thanks.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi caliburn: the kits are in graphics/pictures/2d/outfield/back/tactics
  • Caliburn's avatar
    Hi Flut. I did reload my game but I still got the light green colors. Maybe I need to clear my cache. Also, what panel or xml instruction is necessary to change the blocks to kits on the tactics screen?

    Thanks.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi caliburn: I tested in my own game and it worked. Don't forget to reload the game.

    Ho orasinho: sorry but your links don't work....

  • Caliburn's avatar
    Thanks for the reply Flut but unfortunately that didn't work. I deleted the pitch colors but the light green color of the pitch on the tactics screen is still there. I'm not sure what else to do. I just want the original green color that was there in your previous version or the green color that is in your dark version or even the green color that is in SI's original skin.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Caliburn: go to the settings.xml and delete the following code:

    <!-- Pitch Colours -->
    <colour name="condition_perfect" red="119" green="193" blue="147"/>
    <!-- Perfect -->
    <colour name="condition_muddy" red="84" green="110" blue="59"/>
    <!-- Muddy -->
    <colour name="condition_damp" red="47" green="104" blue="37"/>
    <!-- Damp -->
    <colour name="condition_dry" red="121" green="143" blue="60"/>
    <!-- Dry -->
    <colour name="condition_water_logged" red="40" green="96" blue="51"/>
    <!-- Water Logged -->
    <colour name="condition_muddy" red="89" green="99" blue="55"/>
    <!-- Muddy -->
    <colour name="condition_frozen" red="74" green="103" blue="74"/>
    <!-- Frozen -->
    <colour name="condition_snowy" red="156" green="203" blue="162"/>
    <!-- Snowy -->
    <colour name="condition_hard" red="84" green="113" blue="70"/>
    <!-- Hard -->
  • Caliburn's avatar
    Hi Flut,

    Is there a way I can edit the pitch color in the tactics screen. I would like to change it from the current light green color to the standard green color of the previous version or the green color that is present in the dark version.

    Thanks.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi tylerr: could you please place a screenshot of the first? Concerning the second one, in fact I can reduce it, however I like it as it is. Sorry.
  • tylerrr's avatar
    More I use this skin the more I'm blown away with it. Crazy good.

    Two other little things I found.

    1. When viewing a draw, the bottom of the screen, where the teams yet to be drawn are listed, remains blue and therefore really hard to see.

    2. The size of the text for interviews is a little too big.

    Again, just little things. Want to help make this even better. Cheers.

    Might be too late but I'd actually prefer the club logo on the left side instead of physical condition. Sorry. :P
