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 mati: you should have the overview stadiums background pack (you can download the Football manager backgrounds Superpack here in FMScout. cheers.

    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. :-)
  • mati_motorloco's avatar
    man, this is great! thank you! but i have a problem (look at the screenshot please) that generic pic appears for all teams instead of a second stadium pics, can you recommend the mods you use for stadiums? I used Mini Stadiums Superpack, thank you!

    Thank you Flut, I really love the skin! Is there anyway to make it easier to get the player faces, logos and kits in the titlebar and in the player details? I dont get the tutorial at all with all the different maps u got going on there, and the commands in the cfg. Regards

    Hi Bartdude: Thanks for your support and kind words! I also agree that Vitrex is a great skin (and only part of the amazing work of Emil Debski). Cheers!!

    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.
  • alain marion's avatar
    hi Flut,thank you a lot that you work so hard for this excellent skin..i would like to make a notice for the new update..the shout panel cannot be shown at the highlight panel during the game..Also the greek language is not supported by the skin by i have solved this promblem by replacing the fonts..keep up the good work!!
  • Bartdude's avatar
    Far and away the best skin around for FM17 IMO and getting better with each update. Many think Vitrex is the dogs but apart from some good panels unlike Flut it gets the fundamentals wrong i.e. tiny text and background too light with no adjustment. The great thing about FM is the third party creators give you a wide choice and with regard to skins this is mine !
  • pottersmad's avatar
    Fair Enough Flut it's just ashame i can't use your fantastic skin
  • Flut's avatar
    Thanks DAZS8. I already answered you in the chat. Thanks for your support.

    @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...
  • pottersmad's avatar
    Excellent looking skin Flut only problem is i wish you would make it in low resolution 1366x768.More people use that than you think.
  • DashingDaz8's avatar
    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
  • alain marion's avatar
    unfortunately none of the xml that you sent me is working,i use only flutskin and i dont have another folder of skins in the game..thank you anyway!
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi alain: I tested the xml and everything is okay. Maybe is a conflict between some skins.
  • alain marion's avatar
    hi flut i tried but the promblem remains the same..the panels of attributes-- comparison---happiness have disappeared again...
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi alain: use THIS
  • alain marion's avatar
    hi flut..i have placed the new player overview panel that you just posted but the panels of attributes-- comparison---happiness have disappeared from the main panel of the player... http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=vren37&s=9
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi alain marion: thanks. Use THIS

    Put it in the panels folder of the skin.
  • alain marion's avatar
    hi flut,thank you for answering my questions, the skin is working perfectly...I have placed the player overview panel at left side as you told pmpou1 and I want to do the same at Flutdarkskin16..can you help me?
  • D_LO_'s avatar
    Good work sorting it so quick, it's ok though, don't go to any trouble. I can wait for your next version Cheers.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi D_LO_: thanks for your advise. I took a look on the panel and you're absolutely right. However and fortunately I could make it work now. If you want, I can send you the xml working fine with the horizontal view. cheers.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi dassaev: thanks. You can do it in modal popup dialogs.xml (the file is inside the dialogs folder of the skin).

    Hi rares: I will not do it for low-res. Sorry.
  • D_LO_'s avatar
    Posted on FLUT & Andromeda,

    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

    Hi Flut,

    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).

  • Rares2004's avatar
    Will you do it for low-res??
  • hliasp's avatar
    congratulations for the great skin. I have one request..could you upload your kits folder?(I mean the folder for the kits showing in player profile). it would be difficult to make it from scratch for so many leagues, so if you have it ready it would help a lot.. or, is there anywhere that we can download kits in that xml shape? Thank you very much.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi mrRAWmaniac: Thanks. For citypics use the Football Manager Backgrounds Super Pack (you can find it here in FMScout); for kits, I use the FC'12 style but is a question of taste, of course (I consider FC'12 the best kits released).

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