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

374 comments have been posted so far.
But I decided to look back my original skin I was using and that was base17dark skin with few extras in it. But I've hit a problem now with football manager crashes when I now look at the club facilities page on the base skin or the default skin with the game now, even after removing your skin from the skin folder. Does your skin changes anything that I need to put back to get other skins working again?.

Could you help me with something?
On the player profile page, the same flag appears everywhere and it looks strange to me. It's difficult to explain but I'd like to know how to configure the skin files to get from this picture (using Thiago at Bayern as an example)
https://pasteboard.co/GDwLw4F.png
to this (crudely edited in MS Paint)
https://pasteboard.co/GDwLGDo.png
So, the flag under birthplace is the nation of birth, the flag above the club is the club's based nation and the graphics under reputation gone.
I apologise if this appears demanding.
Many thanks,

two days ago I wrote a little bat scipt (~150 lines of code) which makes it possible to create a config.xml out of nearly every trikotpack, which provides necessery links for home trikots to "graphics/pictures/club/XXXXX/logo/background/left" (did check DF11 and FBKits yet, but should work with others). If placed in the correct folder it searches subfolders for config.xml's, scans them for home trikots and writes them all in one single config. For all DF11 Kits 16/17 I'll get one big config file with 5200 entries (~500Kb) which takes about 2 minutes. Example entry:
<record from="Afghanistan/Roshan_Premier_League/oqaban_1" to="graphics/pictures/club/23184343/logo/background/left"/>
You see, the script links the relative path of the trikot png to the FM internal used reference "logo/background/left".
The script needs some more polishing before publication though, e. g. it does not like spaces in folder pathes. But is there a need for a tool like this? I've seen a new megapack only for those special trikots, but this is only waste of time and needs continues polishing (= more time consuming...). If you are interested to check out the bat by yourself, just contact me.
Have a nice day and thanks for your hard work!

@andrew_owen: in fact, as I inform in the skin presentation, this skin is for 1920x1080. In small resolutions the skin doesn't work properly.
When I go to change the screen resolution in FM under the preferences tab I have windowed, maximum borderless windowed, full screen (1366 x 768), full screen (1024 x 768), full screen (1280 x 768), full screen (1360 x 768) and full screen 1366 x 768).
I have tried all of these but some of the text and images still don't fit properly.
I'm not sure why as I have followed the steps above but I can't see the FM 2017 Flut Skin dark - 2.8 updated as option in the skin drop down of the Overview box.
What should I do?
Thanks for your reply.
Here it is:

1. what image are displayed instead of citypic?
2. and 3. Please download the 2D kits for displayed in player overview panel and titlebar (you can see the link above).
I have the following problems:
1- City is not showing on Club Profile
2- On titlebar, city in right on side of the logo
3- On player profile, city also show beside player picture, in front of the kit.
This is my folder structure:
AStadium (FMC)
Kits
Logos
Player
Trophies
ZZZZCity Pics
1. In order to change the colour of background boxes in attributes go to the settings.xml and change the values in
<!-- background attribute box colours Flut 17 v1 -->
<colour name="unknown attribute background" red="227" green="178" blue="110"/>
<colour name="low attribute background" red="246" green="42" blue="42"/>
<colour name="normal attribute background" red="255" green="156" blue="0"/>
<colour name="good attribute background" red="15" green="158" blue="15" />
<colour name="excellent attribute background" red="20" green="247" blue="28" />
2. If you are talking about the highlight in the attributes, in fact I tried a lot but unfortunately those highlights are displayed in one of the modes only (in this case only in the mode with attributes boxes).
I have two questions for you:
1- How can I change the color of the boxes in attributes boxes?
2- When the attributes are not with the boxes it doesn't show the required recommended attributes for a position.
Thanks!

</record>
and delete colour="white"
after that procedure go to the settings.xml search for
<!-- profile attribute colours -->
<colour name="low attribute" red="250" green="250" blue="250" alpha="140"/>
<colour name="normal attribute" red="250" green="250" blue="250" alpha="200"/>
<colour name="good attribute" red="159" green="220" blue="122" />
<colour name="excellent attribute" red="0" green="255" blue="0" />
and change the values of red, green and blue for those one you want
@David: the skin already have that match intro (this is the match introduction edited by jovovich)
