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

    Flut - thats amazing. Can you share the files so that I can do it in the current version? Missing it big time... Here is my email: [email protected]

    One last question for you Flut. I like having a flat black background so I created a black 1920x1080 jpg and put it in the skins background folder named default. It works except for the club info pages. The citypic file becomes the background then. Is there something I can toggle to make the background the black jpg for those pages? I dont use any other background images.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi death ball: in order to not display the hidden attributes you just have to delete the file additional attributes panel.xml and reload the game (it assumes the default). However, of course you can share your xml. :-)

    Regarding your second post, sorry but I didn't understand it....

    Hi Bengo: yes, I removed the BS (the screenshot is from the old version, before I remove the BS) because it causes crashes in the game....
  • Death Ball's avatar
    @bengo It's a bit hard to see with some colours. It's at the rigth just in the line below the button of continue.

    (Sorry about double posting, missed I could edit)
  • Death Ball's avatar
    Hello. I loaded your skin and saw it shows potential in numbers and other hidden attributes beside the usual ones. Since I don't want to see any of that and there's not a version of the xml without them, I worked and got it susbtituted with the usual non hidden things like personality, media description, status icons and preferred moves, which was quite a bit of work.
    Is it okay if I share the xml for other players who like your skin but also don't want to see hidden stuff? Or perhaps I could send you a PM with the xml to add for those who want to replace it? Or just nothing and whoever wants it has to figure out how to do it himself? Or should I discard it and choose seeing it or use another skin? Since this is your work I want to be 100% sure I don't do anything you don't like about it.

    @Flut Thanks you are a legend. Was the BS removed for 17? I see it in the screenshots but it doesnt seem to be showing up in my game
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Raja: yes. In the next version I will include more stats in player ratings (I already did it :-) )

    @troy: thanks. Unfortunately I couldn't find how obtain the same colour of the header yet...

    @bengo: thanks for your support :-) :-). In order to not display the hidden attributes you just have to go to the player folder of the skin and delete the file player additional attributes panel.xml
  • Bengo's avatar
    Amazing work again Flut. Si needs to make yours the default skin lol. My only critique is in the player panel. Im not a big fan of having the CA/PA and other hidden stats view-able. Breaks the mystery a bit. Was there an opacity control for the background implemented yet?
  • troy's avatar
    Hi flut
    Very nice and detailed Skin
    One question though
    I really don't like the menubar's colouring
    Like im Man utd and the menubar is way to red can it be like the color ala the header?
    cheers
  • Raja's avatar
    Flut, thanks again.

    Any luck in getting player stats in the match floating windows? (Home/Away player ratings)
  • sinock21's avatar
    Great you are a leader, thank you very much this works very well consequently
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi sinock: thanks. In fact I forgot to change for the right xml. In the following path skin/panels/generic, you will find a xml with the name "sidebar menu table_". This is the right xml. Rename it for "sidebar menu table" and overwrite the other one. That's it (reload the game). Let me know if is everything okay.
  • sinock21's avatar

    Hi nabil: you can change it in the graphics. Go to tables/custom/fixtures, open each one of the folders, open the config and change the value of red_replacement and green_replacement
  • nabil_dx95's avatar
    Hi flut, can u tell me how to change the colour of the different type of fixtures in the fixture list
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi lucastolrezende: thanks. Regarding your answer, unfortunately I not intend to do the skin for any other resolution. Sorry.

  • lucastolrezende's avatar
    Any chance of a 1366x768 version? It's my max screen resolution, :(

    Anyway, congratulations for your job!
  • Flut's avatar
    Thanks DAZS8!! Yes I tried to do the transparency enough to be readable and also to show the backgrounds in the "right way". Cheers!!
  • DashingDaz8's avatar
    Thanks Flut, brilliant skin.....shows our backgrounds perfectly
  • Flut's avatar
    Download link updated: fixed continue button.

    @lallana: thanks (also for your suggestion)

    @Bartdude: thanks :-)

    @Fearless: Thanks!! Regarding your answer, go to graphics/icons/custom and delete the folder star rating
  • Fearless1885's avatar
    Have used your skins for the last few years mate, always 10/10.

    My only issue with this skin is the ability stars. You told me last year how to remove your circular levels for the official stars. Would you mind sharing that information again so i can change this? Many thanks mate.

    Keep it up.
  • Bartdude's avatar
    The best skin so far by some margin,well done guys !
  • lallana's avatar
    hi flut! thanks again for the new overview panel. I think that the symmetry gives the right importance both to city and the stadium picture, and I hope that other players will enjoy it ;)
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi DAZs8: thanks. I will fix it soon and reupload the skin (today..but latter)
