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 pmpou: you have to change the font named BebasNeue Bold (because it not have the symbols for greek language since appears ???? instead of it)
    Go to the fonts folder and change that font by other one that you want. After that you have to do a search in all the xml inside the panels folder of the skin in order to change the code. If you use the notepad++ you can do it easily. Find in all folders by font="fonts/BebasNeue Bold" and change by font="fonts/the name of the file you choose as new font"

    Hi Flut!!!!
    the problem with the Greek font is continuing....

    Hi alain marion: I tried with the version I update and works fine. Try to clean the cache, exit and reload the game.
  • alain marion's avatar
    hi flut!! thank you for answering my questions right away, i found the way how to place the kits next to photos reading the tutorials!! But with the new skin update ( Version 2.3 released on 01 January 2017) the game can not be loaded, while i load the skin the game crushes every time..I even tried to change the language in English but it crushed again. I uploaded the skin for second time from the site, i repeated the procession and the game crushed again and again..Now i have placed the flutdarkskin2.2 version and it runs normaly...What am I doing wrong?

    The best FM17 skin just got better ! Love the pre and post match inbox screens !

    Hi armbi: you can adjust it in the following xmls (inside panels/custom):
    player profile details df11 and scope
    player profile details1 (and 2 and 3 and 4)

    1. Find
    <layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" offset="0" layout="-5,-2" gap="0" />

    and change -5 for -4

    2. Search for

    <layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" layout="-2,-1" offset="0" />

    and change layout="-2,-1" by layout="-3,-2"

    After that you should adjust the club name in the vertical coloured stripe. For that you have to search for

    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="22"/>

    and change the value 22 by another (a little bit smaller)

    "Hi armbi: Thank for your kindly words :-) Regarding your question, could you please explain a little bit more, because I’m not sure if you want that box with more width or with more height…sorry."

    ok, I'd like this box to be larger especially vertical so that the player info font would be larger :) example: if now this box in the xml file has let say 100 width and 40 height, I'd like it to be 130 width and 80 height with adequately font enlarged.

    Hi einherjer: thanks for your help and support. I think I finally “killed” the bug :-)

    Hi armbi: Thank for your kindly words :-) Regarding your question, could you please explain a little bit more, because I’m not sure if you want that box with more width or with more height…sorry.

    Hi Baller and Hi Entryway: I believe now the skin not crash due “low memory”.

    Hi rofllol: Thanks!! Reagrding your question, please read the other pages because I already answer it lots of times.

    Hi alain marion: in this update I had to return to some default fonts. So, maybe now is oaky for you (I really don’t know because I didn’t test it for greek language). Regarding the kits, those kits in player overview aren’t the same of the club overview. Please read carefully the tutorial included in the pack.

    Hi pmpou: use THIS

    Hi bartdude: thanks for your support and your kindly words. I really appreciate it.
  • entryway's avatar
    A shame this wonderful skin is simply unusable for mea s for a lot of others, that known memory leak bug is occuring all the time. I'm on a [email protected], 32 GB Ram and GTX1080 btw ...

    I'm pretty much done with FM17, blurry fonts, memory leaks ... what will be next?
  • Bartdude's avatar
    Best skin yet for FM2017 by a mile and getting better !
  • pmpou1's avatar
    Hi Flut!!!!!
    if you want to move the player picture to the left side of the new panel ??????
  • alain marion's avatar
    hi flut, i have a problem with the new skin update as concern as the greek characters lots of letters are replaced with ( ? ).. can i do something for this? Also I would like to ask you why I cannot see the player΄s kit next to his foto neither at flutdarkskin16 nor at flutdarkskin17 while i can see all the kits at the teams panel...thank you in advance.
  • rofllol's avatar
    hi@ i would like to change the colors of the attributes, doesnt work ingame so i guess its in the settings somewhere? thanks for the skin!
  • Baller69's avatar
    Not to be unfairly critical of this skin which as been great in years past, but with the xml memory leak unfixed it's essentially not usable. On my dedicated gaming rig I'm getting crashes every 30-60 minutes in game. Which is a shame, because I really enjoy Flut's work otherwise.

    hi Flut! First fo all big big thanks for the new version of the best FM skin in the f**cking world :D I have to say honestly I've tried other skins from fmscout base but none of these is even close to yours. Thanks. i got just one little ask: I see you have enlarged player profile panel, but could you make this little box with age, date of birth, let say 50% larger in most vertically (as in the attached screen)

    screen.

    Would it be helpful if we uploaded a screenshot from where the game crashes?
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Patrik: I changed the fonts and already re-upload the skin. I think now is okay. Please let me know it.

    Hi Zeus: obrigado, Pois, tal como disse no meu post, não consegui ainda descobrir porque acontece isso já que crasha com falta de memória de uma forma irregular...e sem um tempo definido...
  • zeus1976's avatar
    apesar da melhor skin, o mesmo problema ao fim de alguns jogos jogo vai abaixo por falta de memória e eu tenho 16 gigas.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Patres10: I didn't notice that. Because the main font of dark skin now is helvetica I really thought everything is okay...could you please send me a screenshot in order I take a look?
  • Patres10's avatar
    Hi Paolo,

    why the main font now dont support diacritics
