FM 2018 FLUT skin light - Version 2.1
Skin for FM 2018 regular career mode and widescreen (1920x1080).
This is the FLUTSKIN – Light, Version 2.1 for FM 2018.
This skin is compatible with cutout, DF11, scope and PMSC facepacks.
In this version, I included:

- new 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
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, sidebar icons only. 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_light21" 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 light - 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.

Hi Llovely: I can't help because it never happened in my game.
Hi Bloody: Thanks!!
1. Concerning the Match intro go to match preview lineups panel and change
<widget class="client_object_viewer_xml_panel" file="match/lineup intro bundesliga" id="4itr" hidn="true">
<layout class="centre_in_parent_attachment" alignment="all" />
<record id="object_property" get_property="objt" set_property="objt"/>
</widget>
by
<widget class="client_object_viewer_xml_panel" file="match/lineup intro bundesliga" id="4itr" hidn="false">
<layout class="centre_in_parent_attachment" alignment="all" />
<record id="object_property" get_property="objt" set_property="objt"/>
</widget>
and
<widget class="client_object_viewer_xml_panel" file="match/lineup intro flut" id="1itr" hidn="false">
<layout class="centre_in_parent_attachment" alignment="all" />
<record id="object_property" get_property="objt" set_property="objt"/>
</widget>
by
<widget class="client_object_viewer_xml_panel" file="match/lineup intro flut" id="1itr" hidn="true">
<layout class="centre_in_parent_attachment" alignment="all" />
<record id="object_property" get_property="objt" set_property="objt"/>
</widget>
However, if you want to see the lineups you need to click on the "flut" button, after the Bundesliga presentation.
2. Regarding the league overview, it will be fixed in the next release of the skin. Thanks.
Is there a way to set a default league for the match intro? I want to always have the Bundesliga graphics during the match intro, is this possible by renaming the default stuff to the Bundesliga intro?
Great update once again! But one thing, do you plan on continuing to update the panels during the highlights? it's only a slight annoyance, but you have to keep changing the formation panels for each team around depending if you're playing at home or away. For example if you're playing at home, your formation will show on the left, but when you play away it doesn't automatically switch to the right, it stays on the left. It just means you have to change it pretty much every game.
Now the only thing i need is to delete the opponent roles and duty. Could you say me how? I delete:
<!--role/duty-->
<record class="position_role_duty_popup_button_mini"
entity_layout_id="it04" id="rodu"
size="small"
alignment="left, can_scale"
appearance="buttons/custom/tactics/role picker mini/button"
secondary_icon="icons/custom/misc/small down"/>
but than my role and duty are deleted too.
thank you very much. To point 3, i don´t want to delete the player picture. Sorry that you understand it so. I want to delete the player role of the opponent team. I don´t want see that they play with a winger or so on.
1. For the search use this (put it in the game folder of the skin - inside the panels folder). You also can put it in the dark skin.

2. For last eleven increase the value 16 in the next code in tactics icon preview info panel8
<!-- Player picture -->
<widget class="object_portrait_picture" id="pict" scale_picture="true" >
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="16,0,0,0" />
<record id="object_property">
<integer id="get_property" value="objt"/>
<integer id="set_property" value="objt"/>
</record>
</widget>
3. For delete the player picture in match intro, delete the following code in tactics icon info panel overview6
<widget class="object_portrait_picture" id="pict" scale_picture="true" image_alignment="right,bottom">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="13,0,50,0" />
<record id="object_property">
<integer id="get_property" value="objt"/>
<integer id="set_property" value="objt"/>
</record>
</widget>
But if you want to move the players faces in order to adjust the place, change (by try and error) the values in
inset="13,0,50,0"
Don’t Forget when you change that values the face will be move to the left, right, top and down but also the size of the face will be bigger or smaller (that’s why is so difficult to adjust the place for diferente tactics used…)
4. The kits (to the best of my knowledge) can’t be moved using that xml (I tried a lot without success). That’s why we have to move the player pics instead of the kits….
5. I also couldn’t find how to change the font colour of the positions yet (that’s also why I didn’t changed yet…)
How could i move the kits in the pre match panel a little bit to the left, so that i can see the faces?
Thanks arsenalthebest :-)
