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 fairybru: In fact I tried to explain the best I could in the tutorial: I am sure if you read it carefully and follow the steps you will be successful. :-)

Hi alain marion: I'm glad you solved the problem with the greek language. Regarding the shout panel in inbetween highlights, in my game it works fine.
@pottersmad: Thanks :-) Unfortunately I don't intend to adjust the skin for other resolutions. In fact for FM14 (or 15 - I don't remember) I did it because "apparently" lots of people asked for. However the hard work I had to do it was not justified by the amount of downloads...
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
Put it in the panels folder of the skin.
Hi rares: I will not do it for low-res. Sorry.
Hi Flut & thebantams, just to make you aware the filter doesn't seem to work on the squad depth (big pitch) screen for either of your skins (I see andromeda has a new release today which admittedly I haven't downloaded but it was applicable to the previous version) I have the same problem with my skin. We've all opted for horizontal pitches but regardless this panel doesn't seem to like being inserted into a skin. Simply copying across the base panel seems to cause issues regardless of whether it's modified or not. I've simply chosen to delete this panel for now so just a heads up.. Ta
thanks for your great work.
I have a question about the pop up Panel (screenshot) --> In which panel can i change the background colour (in this example he is transparency).

Hi Ocal: I use the cutout faces but the skin also support the DF11 and Scope.
