FM 2018 FLUT skin dark - Version 2.1
Skin for FM 2018 regular career mode and widescreen (1920x1080).
This skin is compatible with cutout, DF11, scope and PMSC facepacks.
In this version, I included:
- “round country flags” and “round continents logos” specially made in metallic style by brian-q from sourtitoutsi. Those graphics will be displayed in the title bar.
- background maps for confederations, also made by brian-q. Thank you brian by your great work and for your collaboration!!!
- pitch textures for 3D match edited by myself
NEW pack of sites for news panel: If you want to replace the current news sites pack in the news panel by other different pack, you can download HERE a pack specially made by Doddo04 for dark FlutSkin. Thank you my friend!! The pack includes a read me file in order to know how to install it.
Once again, thanks to all FM fans (your suggestions keep me trying to make the skin better) and especially to all the fantastic FM skinners whose creativity contributes a lot to produce the FLUTSkin as it is today since FM 2013. Thank you all!!

Released: 26 August, 2018
A special thank you to PATRES10 from fmslovakia for the 2D default kits (especially tailor-made for FlutSkin).
As always FlutSkin is completely free to download and I hope you enjoy it. However, this year, if you want, you can reward my work donating whatever amount you wish. Any small amount is really appreciated.
You can do so by clicking the button down below:
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 read me file in order to install the skin, the pitch textures addon and the default sidebar (I included two versions: a) "normal" sidebar; b) sidebar coloured according the club colour). I also 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 and VULRAK (with some contribution from myself and other FM Fans), HERE
For those one who experience crashes during the match (for example, when a yellow card is shown) the “alt match in between highlights panels folder” contains a file (match in between highlights.xml) for replace the original one. That xml is from FlutSkin 1.1 and works well in this version. You just have to follow the instructions in the read me file.
How to add Flut Skin in FM18
Download and extract the .rar file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).
Place the "fm2018flutskin_dark21" folder here:
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2018\skins
- Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.
- Start FM18 and go to Preferences screen and then into the Interface tab.
- You should see FM 2018 Flut Skin dark - Version 2.1 as an option in the skin drop down of the Overview box.
- Hit the Confirm button.
Please note this skin is provided as is. It has nothing to do with Sports Interactive or SEGA and won't be supported by them.

Let's keep triyng to answer all (or almost all) of them:
Hi tsukahara: what is the option you use in the drop down arrow of the player picture?
Hi rekoshooter: You can find it in tactics overview side panel.xml (is located in the panels/tactics folder), in the following code
<!--background-->
<record
class="bordered_box"
entity_layout_id="it15" id="bakC"
appearance="boxes/flut/pitchtectics"
red_replacement=""
wants_mouse_events="true" inset="6"
/>
Hi kfnielsen: you can change it in search box titlebar.xml (located in the widgets folder) in the code containing
font="fonts/capitals_bold" size="12"
Hi nikolaosaek: I never played that match. Thus, I don’t know exactly when that bug arises and therefore I don’t know how to solve it. If you can explain me what I should do in order to trigger the bug, maybe I can try to understand it and try to see if I know how to solve it. Sorry.
One question. Which file is responsible for players pictures on tactic pitch? (position on the field and next to it is the picture of a player)
<colour name="default accent" red="255" green="224" blue="0" />
<colour name="default dark accent" red="255" green="224" blue="0" />
Flut, how to change the color of these bars? Red / Yellow because as the words are blank, do not give to see / read anything.
Hi yanzhihh928:Thanks!! regarding your questions:
1. You can change the player attributes boxes colour in settings.xml
2. I don't know how to do it in order to include the "time bar" on the bottom. Furthermore the space on the top is required also for the match caption.
Before are on the following ，Used to be in the following
now Cover the picture
Affect the viewing effect
In the next version will let myself to modify the color of the player attributes?
@Damien: Thanks
@kfnielsen: thanks!! Regarding your problem, could you please put a screenshot? If you are talking about budget adjustment, it works well in my game. Maybe there is a conflict with other skin...
