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

    Hi guys: first of all, thanks for your help and reports. I tried to make the new version (this version 2.0) more stable, since some of you report crashes (I deleted the background selector and use a different match preview, since those xmls causes crashes). I tested the skin and I had no crashes and reddragon (thanks mate) also tested the version. I hope now is ok. Cheers and thank you again.

    Hi,

    I am running an absolutely massive picture/bg/stadion package combination with predominantly HD resolution pictures. I dont have a crash for the pre-match or any other areas. The only issue I have is the usual low memory problem which does not relates to Flut's skin.
    That one is quite a joke as I am sitting on 32gigs of memory...

    Hi flut, can u tell me how to change the colour of the different type of fixtures in the fixture list
  • lucastolrezende's avatar
    Any chance of a 1366x768 version? It's my max screen resolution, :(

    Anyway, congratulations for your job!

    when will you put the white version of skin?
  • pil's avatar
    Excellent skin.Been using for a week and no crashes.
  • RedDragon142's avatar
    By far my favorite skin but the game crashes everytime when it tries to go into the prematch screen of the 1st league game, tried it in 2 different saves and it always happens, tried with the default skin and it worked fine. It was also working with the beta version of this skin, so it started to happen when I updated to version 1.0.
  • vadywerwer's avatar
    how can u change panel colour?
  • lallana's avatar
    hi flut! wow, the panel is perfect
  • iwabik's avatar
    I played like 5 matches, not a single crash.
  • Maverix's avatar
    My game crashed when going into the prematch-screen too
  • einherjer83's avatar
    My game crashed when going into the prematch-screen as shown below.
    There is a problem just like this with the Andromeda-skin.
    Even with the standard FM-dark-skin the game crashes even between matches, when reading news. Must be a bug from SI
  • kingpin_blue's avatar
    Pleaseeeee...make a 1366x768 compatible skiin too..I love this skin but i am not able to use it. :( :(

    Flut

    This is the exact page (which does not load) that makes the FM crash.

    Hi again: Thanks. I really appreciate your reports, opinions and suggestions.

    D_LO and thebantams: thanks for your words, specially because you are (excellent) skin makers. I keep trying but, unfortunately (in this case) my game have few crashes (this make more difficult to try to understand the problem...). As I said before I removed the background selector and I return to the default news panel and by now the game didn't crash yet....But as I already said I don't know if the problem is solved. The fact that I don't know the source of the crashes annoys me a lot...
  • D_LO_'s avatar
    bantams is right definitely re. background selector. I've tried several from fm16 skins all the same problem.
  • SCOTTP's avatar
    The skin is awesome but the crashes are very frequent, removed the folder from skins went back to default and not had a crash yet, try and fix please bro :D
  • thebantams's avatar
    To be fare not all of these crashes are to do with Flut's skin. People are reporting crashes using no custom skins or graphics add ons. I also had low memory crash dumps using the default SI skin when going into the match. SI are looking into this. Yes the background selector is an issue like it is for anyone else on all other skins.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi all: Thanks for your help. I already tried to look foe each one of the xml and tried to delete some of them. But I still don't know what happens. However I also changed the panels responsible for the news panel (using the default) and I also remove the background selector and it seems the game is more stable (the game didn't crash yet...but I really don't know if the problem is solved because my game didn't crash when I go to a match...yet). If some of you find the problem, I really appreciate it. In meantime If some of you want to help me and test my "new" version in order to analyse if the game crash, send me a PM please).

    I like the skin but crashes are constant
  • ingey1968's avatar
    if you want a work around until the new skin comes out,i deleted the match folder in panels and replaced it with the one in his beta skin and it doesn't crash. this afternoon i am going to go through every file and see exactly which one it is but can say for sure its not the match pre match file.
  • sinock21's avatar
