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

    @Oliseh, sure mate. First of all you need to have in-game editor (smth about 3£ on steam), then you need to edit in notepad those two files:
    flutskin/panels/players/player additional attributes panel.xml
    and
    flutskin/panels/players/player additional attributes panel1.xml

    Now in notepad Edit->Replace... check "Match case" and replace Pcab with PCAB and Ppab with PPAB.

    Hopefully i explained this more or less clear :).

    I've downloaded, extracted the file into documents/sports-interactive/FM17/Graphics/Skins ? - and i cant see/find it, in my in game under preference
  • Oliseh's avatar
    @abbes will you tell an amateur how you did this??? :-)
  • abbes's avatar
    Flut, i did by myself this what i asked you before ;)

    easy peasy by the way.
  • Bengo's avatar
    Might have found a bug. On the player overview panel if you use the non boxed background attributes. The key attributes dont highlight when selecting a role to the left.
  • abbes's avatar
    @Flut I mean those small square nation flags, which you can for example see in Mitroglu screenshot - on the right side from the kit there are three small pictures like nation logo, club logo and square flag under both of them.

    ah no, sorry, forget it, i think it's the league logo, not the nation flag ;). don't bother urself with my question, my mistake :).
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi abbes: Thanks :-) Regarding your question I think it will be possible (I think I did a try on it last year but I didn't liked and didn't use it and.... I really don't remember how to do it. Sorry.
    Regarding the flags, what are the flags you are talking? Could you please explain in a more detailed way?

    Hi nunixnunix: Thanks :-)
  • abbes's avatar
    @Flut Hello there mate, great skin first of all, i would like to ask you just one thing. There is any way to see CA/PA in hidden attributes section? I mean not just 15-20 scale, but in 0-200, like in the in-game-editor which i bought. Cheers boss.

    And one more question - where i can download those small square one national flags?
  • nunixnunix04's avatar
    @Flut Thank you! That fixed it! With that fix, this skin is pretty much perfect! Great job and thanks for being so active in the comments
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Bartdude: thanks!!!

    Hi nunixnunix: here is the fix for the problem. Put the xml in skin/panels/match (overwrite the other one); put the folder "normal" in the following path: skin/graphics/buttons/custom/match/standard (overwrite the original folder named "normal".

    DOWNLOAD
  • Bartdude's avatar
    This latest version keeps the skin way ahead of anything currently out there,great work !!
  • nunixnunix04's avatar
    Ah nevermind, for some reason my game did not switch to the 2.1 version ever after I changed it to it, lol. Please disregard my first point in my previous comment as I see that you have changed it, sorry.

    However, my second point (about the drop-down during a match) seems to still be a problem
  • nunixnunix04's avatar
    I really want to like this skin because it has pretty much everything you could want, but there are some errors that I don't understand why they are still in the skin. Here are my two gripes:

    1) Whenever you're on a page where the main color is white (or even yellow), like the Premier League or Swansea, the text on the sidebar becomes pretty much impossible to read due to it being white text on white background. This could be fixed by either making the color of the text also based on what screen you're on (making it the same color as the icons next to it), or by just making the sidebar a constant background color. And yes, this can be fixed by setting it to icon-only, but I feel like it's a bug that's been overlooked but a fair amount of people will have to suffer through it.

    2) During a match/watching a match, the button on the bottom right where you can choose what screens to be on top the screen (like formation, match stats, league table) is bugged. When you click on it and try to tick the boxes, the drop-down (or drop-up technically) fades away instantly ( due to leaving the original button). I'm guessing this can be fixed through lowering the drop-down box by a couple pixels.

    I don't really know why this hasn't been fixed, maybe it's just on my computer, but it is really off-putting.

    Espetacular, e a possivel existencia de uma versão para 1366x768, a acontecer, sera sem duvida uma grande noticia
  • Flut's avatar

  • Doddo04's avatar

    Espetacular Flut, falta só o 1366x768... Abraço!
  • Raja's avatar
    Cheers buddy!
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi raja: I'm glad it works :-) Regarding the work to answer all the questions, yes, sometimes is hard, however I know is a consequence of sharing the skin. Thus, I feel better when I can help the people to use it (even if sometimes I feel tired, mainly with questions I already answered :-) ). Regarding a facebook page, tahnks for your suggestion but beyond I'm not a huge fan of facebook (I like it enough but I'm not really a fan) I think it will be also hard to manage it and...definitively I will get into overload :-) :-) But, as I said, thanks for your suggestion and support!!

    Flut - works like charm! Thank you so much for entertaining each and every end users' requests! I know it could be overwhelming at times. But you have got ur own fan base. May be you sud start a Facebook page for the followers (just a suggestion)
  • Flut's avatar
    @Ian Connor: you have to edit the transparency in the graphics folder of the skin. However there are lots of graphics to edit. You can start by boxes/bordered/standard/paper and boxes/subsection/standard/paper

    @armbi: thanks armbi!!!!! I really don’t know if its possible because I never tried it. I think I have to look at the skin files you post in order to know. However I think is a Touch skin (am I right?) and I never looked at that kind of skins….

    @Death Ball: :- )
    @kingpim blue: sorry but the answer is no. I don’t intend to adapt the skin for any other resolution.

    @raja: Here is the files (put it in the match folder of the skin)
    THIS

    and

    THIS

    @Bengo: If you don’t want to use backgroundstry the following: go to client object browser.xml (inside of client_object folder) and change the code

    <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>
    For

    <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>

    Excuse me....

    How to make the skin more transparent?
  • armbi's avatar
    Hi Flut, it's me ypur big fun. I was hoping that this year I would also have your awesome skin and it is, great as last year! But I have a question. Would that be possible to make such a red frame around the text in the titlebar, as on picture attached. I would have then possible to use all three club colours.

    @Flut Ok, thanks. LOL, I didn't think on deleting the file. Nevermind the second post, I think I was thinking on a beta skin instead of this.
