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 am trying your suggestion by using the match inbetween highlights and see how it goes. I just finished a season, so it's going to take a little time before I'm playing another match, but I will let you know how it works as soon as the season begins.
Thanks for taking your time answering and suggesting possible solutions!
@wallace: yes, the standard sort by position, as in the flutskin (in my game and for the most part of the players). However, in a few of the fm players it happens that problem you also have. I can't explain it but maybe there is a conflict with some other skins or something like that. You can try the match in between highlights I included in the pack as an alt xml (of course is not the same and have less information since it a file from an older version of the skin)
The standard sort always sorted by position as in the tactics overview in between picture.
i change this:
<!-- background attribute box colours Flut 17 v1 -->
<colour name="unknown attribute background" red="111" green="111" blue="110"/>
<colour name="low attribute background" red="250" green="250" blue="250"/>
<colour name="normal attribute background" red="250" green="250" blue="250"/>
<colour name="good attribute background" red="241" green="211" blue="143" />
<colour name="excellent attribute background" red="253" green="88" blue="80" />
but nothing changes.
But i want the background black, and the colour of the letters changed in the colorous of my example...
can you help please?
Regarding the second one, try the following:
go to match in between highlights panel and search for
id="sek1" default_item="hmtt"
change it by
id="ssss" default_item="hmtt"
However, the standard skin contains an automatic sorting after this position? Can I adjust it that way?
It's the only thing that bothers me about this skin. as soon as a striker comes in, the new player is at the bottom and the one who goes out is at the top of the start eleven.
the skin otherwise is the absolute hammer and therefore I really want to use it. However, I spend a lot of time in the match in Beetween highlight screen and I would like to have a clear overview and order.
the heatmap is still on the top left, not the home team. did I change something wrong?
Can it be helped?
Thanks for answering. I have tried your suggestions, but the lag is still there unfortunately. To specify, I'm playing matches with extended highlights, and it's only between the highlights in 2nd half the lag is there. When there is a highlight shown, there is nothing and the game plays smoothly.
I only have this one skin in the skin folder, as you also mentioned. Will see if I can fix this somehow, or else I'm just gonna deal with it, as it is not unplayable at all. It's just a bit laggy
match team stats ibh bottom2 and match team stats ibh bottom3 (located in the match folder of the skin)
and change the code:
<boolean id="sort_disabled" value="true" />
by
<boolean id="sort_disabled" value="false" />
2. Try to include the following code in each one of the boxes code
save_session_state="true" ( I couldn't test because in my game the panel remembers the last choice...)
Find all codes for the 8 boxes, which are similar t the following
<widget class="match_view_selector_panel" file="client_object/client object viewer selector match1" pause_match_on_menu_opening="true" id="all2" default_item="AMtu" minimum_width="400" default_width="-1" priority="1" >
and include that piece of code
<widget class="match_view_selector_panel" file="client_object/client object viewer selector match1" pause_match_on_menu_opening="true" id="all2" default_item="AMtu" minimum_width="400" default_width="-1" priority="1" save_session_state="true">
1. always sort by position in both teams. In terms of presentation, it is very bad when the substitute player is at the bottom and the one who is no longer on the pitch is in the middle of the squad.
2. At the top left, I always have the home team's headmap at the beginning. the change I am making is not taken over.
I am epxeriencing the same thing. At second half tha mtahc starts lagging. It's not unplayable, but hopefully Flut is working on a fix for it
<container class="animated_wipe_cycle_fade_container" id="teec" interval="9">
increase the value 9 (it means 9 seconds).
cheers

With this new update 1.8, I come back to an old problem that I had that was the order of the posts displayed in match.
With the old version until 1.8, the order was the same but we had the opportunity to sort it out, which is no longer the case. You told me it was impossible to sort automatically in 1.5 but is this still the case? And is it possible to postpone the sort option by clicking on the column as before?

Hi kfnielsen: thanks!!!!
