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

    is this available on mac? If so, how easy is it to install?

    Thanks alot, Flut! You saved me from buying glasses =)

    @Flut @DAZS8
    you indeed are correct, it works- I downloaded the pack and the folder "stadium" out of the pack was the solution for my question
    many thanks!
  • Raja's avatar
    Flut - thanks! Having boxes behind the attributes is great. I'm sure the positional attribute highlight option will be included in boxes too?

    I tried to use DAZ8's "Football Manager Backgrounds Super Pack", I love the fact that i get to see the stadiums, etc. But I dont like changes to the background image while u navigate between players, tactics screens, etc. (For ex: When I view "De Gea" profile, I see his bg picture and when I see Rooney's profile, I see his picture) Is there a way to prevent that?
  • Flut's avatar
    @Oval85 and @BlackS0ull: Thanks. You can use this (the sidebar will change for the default style). Put the file inside the folder “generic” in panels/generic. Replace the folder “menubar” by this one I sent you (BlackS0ull: the bug in the text colour in the current sidebar is now fixed and the next version will include that fix)

    @MarvinTic: Thanks. In the next version this panel will be changed (the dark transparent panel will be displayed).

    @nymthehavoc:
    Is exactly how DAZS8 told you. You just have to download the superpack and follow the instructions for installing it.

    @Raja: in the next version, in player profile panel will be included an option in the drop down arrow in order to change between with and without background boxes.

    @DAZS8
    I have city and stadium pictures.
    Flut created the skin that way (see his screenshots) that on the stadium screen you can see 2 pictures of the stadium- for me unfortunately I see only 1 picture instead of 2 (the one on the top is a generic picture only) the question is where/how do I define the script for the top stadium picture?
    see pictures below

    Hello Flut,

    Many thanks for your skin, but I have a small issue as another user has already reported. In some cases, depends of the team that I'm selecting, for example Borussia Mönchengladbach the text on the left menu is white on white.

    Could you please fix it?

    Thanks!
    BR,
    BlackS0ull

    Hey Flut, thanks for coming back for another year.
    I was just wondering, could you make a sidebar menu that is just black and white or something? I'm playing with Parma and unfortunately they have a yellow panel with white(!) letters, which makes my eyeballs burn.
    Until I can choose another color I really can't use this marvelous skin.
  • Groot_FMSLife's avatar
    Hi Flut Well, i'm talking about this screen

    Generally rendering white or grey, if its possible could you release a version with dark interface for this part of the game (news interface btw)

    Thanks a lot mate for your work
  • nymthehavoc's avatar
    Flut,

    I am using your skins for many years, it makes the game much better! Many thanks!
    One question- on the stadium screen, you have 2 stadium picture. In my version the one on the top is with a generic picture only. Can you please say how should the script look like for the one on the top? I would love to have 2 picture of the stadiums as well!
    Thank you Sir!
  • Raja's avatar
    Flut,

    Thanks, it is simple and works.

    Can you also tell me how to get the background boxes for the attribute values?

    Reg inclusion of additional stats: I scratched my head too, but cud not figure out. May be you will :) While you do that please provide option to customise other floating windows as well (for ex: In the body lang window, remove status, serial number, etc as they are redundant).
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Dazs8: thanks for your support. I really appreciate it because as you know you are alegend here on FM!!

    Hi Apocalipsus: Thank you!! The new version of the skin will have the option to choose the Flut picture (as it is now), the Flut Fake panini and the DF11/Scope picture :-)

    Hi Leotavo: yes. You can use the skin in windowed mode without borders because it will be displayed with the same dimensions.

    Hi Raja: Thank you very much for your preference!! In order to delete the specific sections (hidden attributes) you just have to go to the player folder (inside of the panels folder), and delete the xml named player additional attributes panel. Of course you need to reload the game in order to apply the default information you want. Regarding the floating windows I will include a little bit more transparency in the next version of the skin. Regarding the use of other stats I need to work on it later (in fact I tried the stats I used in FM16 but not working…yet ;-) )

    Hi Doddo:
    thank you. I really appreciate all of your support. You are special because you always support my work with great enthusiasm. Regarding your question, in the next version it will be very easy to do what you want. Thus when I release the next version don’t forget to ask me again and I will tell you how you can do it.

    Hi Marvintic: thanks! Regarding your question, could you please explain a little bit what is the box you are talking about?

    Hi Bartdude: Thank you!!!!

    Hi Meraklija Vujevic: I sent you a message in order to better know the bug you reported.
  • Meraklija Vujevic's avatar
    you skin is having one big mistake

    there is no tactic option to click when I am watching the game.

    rest is fine and very good.

    but that option is very important when watching the game

    without that option skin is bad and I am not recomending to use it
  • Groot_FMSLife's avatar
    Great Job mate, just can you put message box in dark ?
  • Cardozini83's avatar
    Hi, how can i remove some panels from player profile??
  • Bartdude's avatar
    A great skin and only the beta version,good work !
  • Doddo04's avatar
    My favorite skin is back!!! Great Work flut keep it on!!!
    How can i have the player picture on the left on the playeroverview?
  • Raja's avatar
    There comes my favorite screen....:) :) Thanks Flut. Your skin provides way more details in one view that makes my job as a manager much easier :)

    I have one suggestion. Can you give an option to hide specific sections (hidden attributes such as versatility, imp matches, consistency, injury prone) & (current ability, potential ability) in the players home screen? By disclosing the information the game is less interesting.

    Also in the home/away team match ratings floating window, can you include all stats? (pass attempts, completed, cross attempts, compl...,etc?) Right now it just shows the #, status, pl name, condition, rating, goals and assists. I think you will make those floating windows little transparent like you did in FM16 version.

    Thanks again buddy!
  • leotavo's avatar
    it works at bordless windowed?
  • Apocalipsus's avatar
    Hello.
    First of all I want to say my thanks for releasing the skin still during the Beta of the game.
    I used your skin on FM16 where i used the DF11 facepack.
    On this game i changed to the scope facepack and it seems to be a bit buged with that pack. The picture appears very large, and i can't change it (ususally there was some option like df11, or panini or panini fake i belive)
  • Daz8's avatar
    GREAT WORK!!
    Brilliant to get this much content workable and we are only at Beta stage....well done m8
