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 alain marion: finally I found you're right. In the dark version I forgot to include a xml for shots in match inbetween highlight. In the next version it will be fixed. But here is it (put it on the panels folder of the skin)

    Hi MackbossFM: Since the overlay are already transparent, you have to edit lots of graphics.... Try to start by the folders graphics/boxes/subsection and graphics/boxes/bordered

    Hi nymthehavoc: in this 2.4 version (and the previous) is not possible. In the next version that option will be included. However I make that option available from now on. Download this file and put it in the human folder of the skin; clean the cache, exit the game and reload it; go to preferences/interface and you will find the "new" option.

    hi Flut, is it possible in your skin like in Andromeda to change the own manager picture from 3d to a standard photo picture? if yes can you please say how?
  • MackbossFM's avatar
    hi flut,
    how can i change the transparency in the background ???...i think that is very dark....Can you help me ???
  • mati_motorloco's avatar
    FLUT: everything is working perfet! you are the man!
  • alain marion's avatar
    hi flut,I have uploaded again the skin but I still have the same problem.I have tried to do the same in my other pc but it did not work either..Thank you and if there is someone with the same problem, please let me know!
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi radorapper: In the next release I will increase a little bit the standings space. In fact I will not increase as in the example you put because I don't want to have some letters of the stats panel cut.

    Hi mati: for logos you should do exactly I explain in my previous comment. You just have to duplicate your logos folders and in those new folders change each line of each config as I told you.
  • mati_motorloco's avatar
    GOT THE STADIUMS TO WORK! now, can you tell me how the graphic/logos/backleftlogos folder should be? should I drop for example "Serie A" folder with the competition config modified and do that por all leagues? thanks man you are a saint for fm addicts here
  • mati_motorloco's avatar
    Flut, thanks for your help, after a lot of manual labour I managed to get kits on the left and the competion league logos on the right (not international cups yet) but the stadiums as background for player profile pic keeps missing, I deleted the "Players" folder and the background went blank, so the "Stadium Overview" (which coincides with the first background from the "BS") is somewhat not working, the STADIUM OVERVIEW works properly on "Club", "Match" and as background, but NOT as players profile background (aka Profile Flut Stadium) hope this is clear, sorry, I have renamed "Players" to "zPlayers" but its the same, it loads the players specific background on the Profile Flut Stadium slot
  • rapdorapper's avatar
    Standings is too small..

    did you saw that? Standings is too small..
    Vitrex's Standings is better
    check it:
    I hope you fix this, Thanks

    Hi mati: you have to find the folder with players background and rename it starting by, for instance a “z” (“zplayers”) in order to be read after the other folders with stadiums (the game read the folders in alphabetical order).
    Regarding the kits you have to duplicate your kits folder and change the config of each one of that folders. In the code for each club kit, change “team” by “club” and “kits/home” by “logo/background/left” (you can do it easily with notepad++). After that, rename the folder to (for instance) “aaakitsaslogos” put that new folder in my docs/Sports interactive/football manager 2017/graphics/logos. For logos:
    1. Duplicate your competitions logos folder
    2. For each code inside those configs change “logo” by “logo/background/left”
    3. Rename the folder, for instance with “clubsbackleftkit” and put the folder in the logos folder of the game
    4. Do the same for the nations logos
    5. Duplicate twice your competitions logos folder and change the configs. For one of the new folders replace “logo” by “logo/background/left” (in each code line); for the second one, replace “logo” by “logo/background/right”. Put these new folders in the logos folder of the game.

    Hi alain: in fact is weird. Its seems there are a conflict with something because I noticed that the font for “match stats” are also wrong (and in a wrong colour). The skin is okay, thus maybe you should delete the skin and download it again.

    Hi Mackboss: in fact, this year I had to remove it because the transparency selector causes game crashes.

    Hi paulmpablo: The skin is made for that resolution. Thus you have to do nothing if you have a screen resolution for 1920x1080. If you have a screen with higher resolution you can change for 1920x1080 in the game preferences. However if your resolution is small you can’t configure it for 1920x1080.

    Great skin m8 as always...congrats
    Unfortunately the stadium picture behind the player pic is conflicting with my Player Backgrounds
    If used then the player background appears and not a stadium

    I'm having the same problem as DAZ, how can I fix this? cheers!
  • mati_motorloco's avatar
    thanks for everything flut, I finally have everything running except for the kits and logos on titlebar, should I write a config for EACH team manually? I'm reading the tutorial but can't figure that out, should I create the folder 000000 clubsbackleft? and put logos in there? sorry if I am too dumb to get it, great work! (I'm using your backgrounds megapack if it helps)
  • paulmpablo's avatar
    hi flut, how do I change to 1920x1080 so that all the skin fits properly
  • MackbossFM's avatar
    hi flut,
    In this version we can't change the transparency when select the background ???
    Thank You...!!!
  • alain marion's avatar

    ....not forgetting with this skin you get the crucial down arrow on the titlebar which I look for in any skin and the best ever IBH panel on the match screen !
  • mati_motorloco's avatar
    I have downloaded the backgrounds superpack and looks great! but I want the stadiums in the back of the player profile like your messi screenshot, instead, I get a player background (which are nice) but how can I get the stadium?
