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

I have tried 3 other skins without any problems.
Hi Lallana: Following your suggestion I changed again the Club Overview Panel. Here is the panel that will be included in the next version of the skin.
Temporarily I'm switching back to default FM skin, navigating through the last screen that is shown before one actually enters the match and switching back to your skin
Thanks!
Hi lallana: yes. I think it could be done, however implies lots of work because the boxes in the panel are in several xml...But if I will have time I could try to do something similar to your proposal.
Thanks for your support.
go to your preferences screen and tick sidebar icons only
My sidebar is still big and not slim like the one in the screenshots.
I have to make any changes to get the slim one?
I tried with a different skin and had crashes too. interesting.
Flut, Where you able to figure out how to add the match stats to the player ratings floating window?
Between the transparent floating windows looks cool!
Waiting for the next release. Will it be anytime soon?
@daveo72 and @ Raja. Yes. The new version will include a dark transparent background inbox.
@Raja: Yes. You’re absolutely right. The bug in tactics set pieces is already fixed. Regarding the “superpack” you just have to delete the folder “players”.
@alexpuk: Maybe will be a light skin but certainly later because I have not time to manage the two versions now. Regarding the help... you’re welcome :-)
@the clash: I think the skin works also in mac, however I can’t be sure because I don’t use mac.
@Oval and @nymthehavoc: :-)
The skin does not allow u to edit the set pieces, change from left to right, etc. It happens in Tactics section as well as during matches.
Also just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help with creating a skin myself in FM16. You were great.
