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

    It's not down to skin creators to compromise their designs by making lower resolution skins "can_9",it's about you using a setup that allows FM to be viewed at the resolution it was designed for,i.e.1920x1080
  • Bartdude's avatar
    A further evolution of the already best skin in FM. Nice work guys !!
  • can_9's avatar

    Hi troy: thanks!! Regarding your answer you just have to go to scoreboard.xml (located in panels/scoreboard_selector), open it and change the code:

    <container id="1scb" hidn="false">

    by
    <container id="1scb" hidn="true">

    and

    <container id="8scb" hidn="true">

    Great skin and its FREE ;)
    Regarding scoreboard it would be great if the EPL is the default one.
    Thanks in advance
    cheers

    Hi micasyt: Regarding the scoreboard, in fact that add on works like the TV logo. Thus if you go out of the panel when you return the default will be displayed (the same when you start a new match...). However, if you want you can change the deafult. What is the scoreboard you want to use as default?

  • andymoore1000's avatar

  • Flut's avatar
    Hi andymoore: you just have to put the skin folder, as the other skins, in the skin folder of the game (check if there is no another folder with the name of the skin, inside the skin folder when you extract it)
  • andymoore1000's avatar

    Hi Macboss: In fact the scoreboard selector works similarly to the TV logo selector and the background selector and when we go out of the panel when we return the default will be dispalyed..

    Hi Flut,
    During the matchs, you select one logo of scoreboard, for example, premier legue, and if you have enter in tactics to make a subtitutions or whatever, when you come back the match, the logo of scoreboard has changed and now appear the logo of flut again...
    And then if you want the logo of premier league, you must select the premier league logo again.
    This occur always that you enter in tactics...
    Can you fix this, please ???

    Thank You mate !!!
