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.

I see the drop down menu, but it does not make the picture bigger, unfortunately, like in GZ Skin (if you know which skin I mean under GZ skin).
Hi Bartdude and Hi Kfnielsen: thanks for your continuous support.
Hi FMBard: You’re right. There is a slight misalignment of the heat map in the Pre-match analysis inbox. I don’t know why. I already tried to understand why in order to fix it but without success. Regarding the CA/PA delete the following code in

Hi Rekoshooter: thanks!! Regarding your question: what is the drop down arrow menu you use for player picture?
But I have 1 question. Is it possible to make the photo of a player bigger like, for example, in Gunzo Skin?
You are mad
I want to use the original theme of fm 2018 but I want to change the background. I am using Resource Archiver 2018 to change it from 17 to 16 using this program, but if there are anyone who knows that I can not find the background folder and dfeault image at 18, I am waiting for your help
Small question about the TV logos for the 3D Match.Any chance to get them to work on your skin?
Hi shashikiran: please read the instructions in the read me file.
Hi chrgross: the skin already includes the instant result button.
Is it possible to pin the taskbar?
Any chance this skin could come with a instant result button like Wannchup ?
