Football Manager 2017 Skins - FM 2017 FLUT skin dark - Final Version

FM 2017 FLUT skin dark - Final Version


Skin for FM 2017 regular career mode and widescreen (1920x1080).


This is the FLUTSKIN - Dark for FM 2017 - Final Version

I would like to start by expressing my acknowledgment to all FMfans who keep me motivated to edit the FlutSkin with kind words of support and stimulus.
In spite of my great recognition to all FM Skinners and graphic/addons producers that make our FM experience much more exciting, I would like to express a special thank you to PATRES10, for the tailor-made default kits I included in the skin; to NECJEFF, for the original creation of country locator that I adapted in Flutskin; to JOVOVICH, for the wonderful match intro panels; to SIRWILL and PIKAWA, for the match scoreboards I included in the skin; and, “last but not the least”, to RUNE, who has always shared his ideas with me, was responsible for the most innovative idea to improve FM skins visual – the citypics – and who has been a “compagnon de route” since the beginning of this journey.
All of you are the main source of inspiration that has made possible to improve FlutSkin since the first time (in FM13) I decided to try to edit a skin.


About the Final Version
This version does not include "structural" (or big) changes. It includes, however, several tweaks in different panels, namely in the following:
  • News panel: pre-season report team preview, post match analysis, pre-match opponent analysis and team report panel tweaked
  • Match preview, Match overview and Match pre-match panel: all the lineups in those panels were tweaked
  • Match titlebar score: scoreboard was tweaked
  • Flut match scoreboard (tweaked)
  • Match introduction: League one, Serie A, K League, Bundesliga included (from Jovovich); Liga NOS included (non official intro, made based on EPL league)
  • Board room (“new”)
  • Club overview panel: slightly larger club kits and Last XI tweaked.

I hope you enjoy this version!
See you in FM18!!!

Compatible with DF11 and Scope Faces

Released: 27 August, 2017

Resolution requirements:
This skin was made to work properly in 1920x1080 (1080p) full screen mode. As a result, some panels won’t work properly in other resolutions (and also in 1920x1080 windowed mode).


IMPORTANT NOTES:
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.

You can download the 2D kits for displayed in player overview panel and titlebar HERE

You also can download the citypics (and much more…) in the Backgrounds Superpack made by DAZS8 (with some contribution from myself and other FM Fans), HERE

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

    Flut any plans for 1366x768 version

    Hi douardo: Thanks. I saw your message in PM, thus I assume your "question" is already answered :-)
  • douardo's avatar
    Hi Flut,

    Thanks a lot for your hard work.

    How would I modify the overall opacity of the skin, in order to enjoy the nice pack of backgrounds I've got.
    Either in the dark or white version.

    Hi einherjer: in fact, sometimes the fonts appear deformatted; I don't know why (maybe because some conflict due some xml in panels folder I used are from the FM16 skin...). Regarding the crashes, in my game I have not crashes with this version of the skin. In my game only persist sometimes the problem related to low memory....However, as I already said I don't know what are the files related to that problem and that's why I couldn't solve it yet.
  • einherjer83's avatar
    Have had a few problems with game crash. And when i reload the game, the fonts are bold. Never had any problems with standard skin.
    Tried to verify the files, and they all turn out ok.
    Often in the game, the fonts are replaced with a thick white line aswell.
    Ill add i screenshot later, if you want :)
    I play on windowed mode, but i dont think this is the problem.

    Anyone else had these problems?

    Hi SMiguel: in fact I don't know. I think he still working on it, however I did not talk with him again....

    Found out in an other thread that the brazilian clubs problem has to do with licencing , the guys n the kits downloads section in the Brazilian Serie A 2016/17 seem to know how to fix it.
  • Wolverine78's avatar
    @Flut
    Ok i will do that ,Thanks for the response Flut , I just found something weird in the brazilian leagues , the overall colour scheme of the bars in the club overview and default shirts all have the wrong colours , for ez Corinthians have yellow and Palmeiras have red instead of green , is this the post were i should post this info ? im not even sure if it has to do with the Flut Skin
  • _SMiguel_'s avatar
    Hi Flut about lower resolution, @trainspotting is still working on it?
  • Flut's avatar
    @Wolverine: Thanks for your support :-) Regarding your question, unfortunately I'm affraid you can't do anything based on a skin because we can't edit the name of the cities. However you can do it if you go to the FM editor, change the names of the cities of each club you want rectify, save the changes and start a new game.
  • Wolverine78's avatar
    @Flut
    Hi Flut , thanks for your work on the skin its great , i have a question , how can i edit the city name that shows above the city photo in the club overview ? because i noticed that many of the maltese clubs dont have the correct city name over the city photo , I know all the names that should go on all Cities Photos of each club in Malta but i dont know how to fix it. Is there anything i can do about it please ?
  • Bengo's avatar
    Since the last update Ive had issues with memory errors causing crashes. Have had to switch back to the default skin. Anyone else seeing this?
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi dadaikata: Thanks :-)
    Regarding your question, find for the following code in all xml of the skin (you can use notepad++ for that):

    <record id="widget_info" class="attribute_label" alignment="centre, can_scale,can_scale" colour="white" size="12" font="fonts/ProximaNova-Bold1" style="bold" use_attribute_colour_as_bg="true" appearance="boxes/custom/attributes/paper"/>

    replace that code by

    <record id="widget_info" class="attribute_label" alignment="right, centre_y" style="semi_bold" multiline="false"/>
  • dadaikata's avatar
    Hi Flut, sorry if you have already answered at that question, I'm from mobile so i cannot look at it efficiently... can I completely disable boxed attributes in some way? like removing and xml or so? Thanks a lot, always the best skin out there!
  • Daniel_FN's avatar
    @Flut
    Perfect! I couldn't find required xml file by myself
    thank you :)
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Daniel: thanks for your words :-) Regarding your question, you can edit it in the match team stats floating.xml, located in the match folder (inside the panels folder of the skin). each line of the code (for instance <record id="MPkp" />) is a code for some statistic. I don't remember what code correspond to each one of the stats. Thus I suggest you to use try and error metod (delete one line and see what colunm in the table disappear; after, delete another one..and so on).

    omg! @Flut i've placed it under graphics.. That explaines it! Thx :)
  • Ghriss's avatar
    @Flut it looks like this? :) C:\Users\soren\OneDrive\Dokumenter\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2017\graphics\skins\fm2017flutskindark
  • Daniel_FN's avatar
    Thank you very much for this absolutly best skin! :)
    Can you describe, how I can change & edit columns in table 'Players raiting'? (this is in-match table)
    I don't need outs or goals missed, but need conditions for example. Of course, I can make wider, but table will close visibility of the field

    Many thanks in advance!

  • pmpou1's avatar
    Thanks !!!!!!!
  • Flut's avatar
    @bengo: yes. You are right. This is a bug I tried to solve (I spent lots of time trying to solve it) without success...

    @abbes: great!! And that's it. I remember I did it last year and it was not difficult lol

    @Ghriss: it's weird; take a look and see if the folder extracted have not an other folder with the same name inside it; in that case you should put that folder in the skins folder...

    @pmpou: put THIS in the "player" folder of the skin (the player folder is in the "panels" folder of the skin).
  • pmpou1's avatar
    By the way if you want to move the player picture to the left side of the new panel ??????
  • Oliseh's avatar
    @abbes Thanks mate... it works :-)
