FM 2019 FLUT skin dark - Version 1.9


Skin for FM 2019 regular career mode and widescreen (1920x1080).

This is the last version of the FLUTSKIN for FM19. I would like to thank all of the FM fans who support my work with words of encouragement and specially those who rewarded the work I produced through a donation. I really appreciated it. I also thanks all the fantastic FM skinners whose creativity contributes a lot to produce the FLUTSkin as it is today since FM 2013. Thank you all!!

The Skin pack includes:
1. “Round country flags”, “round continents logos” and default logos specially made in metallic style by brian-q from sourtitoutsi. Those graphics will be displayed in the title bar.
2. Background maps for confederations, also made by brian-q. Thank you brian by your great work and for your collaboration!!!

In this version I do not include the pack for regular sidebar (not hidden sidebar) and for regular sidebar, coloured according the club colour. However, you can use it from the 1.8 version.

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, 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:
You can download the 2D kits - SEASON 2018/19 - for displayed in player overview panel and titlebar HERE

You can download the 2D kits - SEASON 2019/20 - 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

If you want to download the citypics only, DAZS8 released the updated pack HERE

    thank you but the red is still dark I do not understand
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi 2pac54: I already comment that I only answer the questions related to bugs or some stuff which can be improved and not the questions related to the personal taste of the FM players. However, the answer for your first request is:

    - You can change the colour of the box in manager home training panel2.xml

    in the following code

    <container class="inner_titled_box" red_replacement="red" id="wrst">

    Regarding the second request, I don't remember now how can you do it. Sorry.
  • 2pac54's avatar


    I would like to go down the icons

    how to change the color of the training report the red became black

  • Magic1111's avatar
    Okay Flut, no problem mate!
    Thanks anyway!
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Magic1111: I really don't know what causes that crashes and since in my game everything goes well I can't help you. Sorry.

    Hi siemde: put this file in the player folder of the skin (inside the panels folder)
    https://www.mediafire.com/file/rn0ii5y210klo0x/player_attributes_comparison_panel_tactics.xml/file
  • siemde's avatar
    Hi Flut, congrats on the skin. Discover you can quickly compare key attributes on the tactics screen when dragging one player over the other, but the transaprent background is making it hard to read.
    which xml controls this panel so it's not transparent?

  • Magic1111's avatar
    Many thanks Flut, it worked perfect!
    --

    One more question that has been bothering me for a while:

    I get in your skin, as well as Andromeda and CL skin, in almost every second 3-D game a "crash dump".

    This is expressed in such a way that in various situations in the 3-D game, the picture suddenly stops, the sound is still heard, and then comes the crash message. If you press OK, you're back on the desktop.

    I can not recognize a pattern .... that occurs in all the mentioned skins in different situations.

    Had even reinstalled the game, the hidden folder in the user's folder (where the cache files are) deleted, and tried without any other files (only with your skin).

    Only the OPZ Elite Skin works fine. With this I play the 3-D games without crash dumps, but I want to play with your skin.

    Can you imagine what that could be? Is your skin too extensive for my PC? Is the memory full? I have Windows 10/64 bit with 8GB RAM.

    I mean, the crashes started to increase only since version 1.8.

    I do not understand why the crash dumps occur on your skin, Andromeda and CL skin, but not on the OPZ Elite.

    Can you help me somehow?

    Many thanks in forward mate!

  • AlexRamos312's avatar
    Hi Flut!
    How can I download previous versions so I can get the regular sidebar?
  • Magic1111's avatar
    Hi Flut!
    Can you please tell me in which file I can set the opaque filter by default value to e.g. 80%? Where can I find the appropriate entry that the filter at each game start by default is 80%?
    Thanks in forward!

    Hi Jürgen Hartmann: :) :) :)

    Hi jeankier: thanks :) !!

    Hi Captain:Thanks. Regarding your question, the skin pack doesn't have that picture. Try to find it in your graphics folder of the game. Maybe in a folder named backgrounds
  • Captain's avatar
    hey flut! awesome job,
    how can i remove this ugly machine picture so other pictures apear, or please teach me how to replace it for other of my choice. thanks in advance. Coz even choosing in BS selector, it changes automatically eventually allways dunno why, while should be permanent choice.

  • jeankier's avatar
    Dear Flut, playing since 1995 maybe the best skin ever. (was using steklo before).. thanks..
  • Jürgen Hartmann's avatar
    Thank you so much!
    I nominate you for football-nobel-prize!

    Cheers mate!
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Jürgen Hartmann: Regarding your first request, here is the file

    https://www.mediafire.com/file/0s8d9z0xnyuh7zk/club_overview_panel.xml/file

    Concerning the second one, I couldn't find how include that information in the table...sorry.
  • Jürgen Hartmann's avatar
    Thank you Flut, that did the trick!
    "and you also have to choose that option in preferences of the game (untick the option "use icons only")."

    You are great!
    Let`s make Football Manager great again!
    Without your skin, I would not play that game - the database is great, but the display of the base game is ridicolous.
    So you make Football Manager great again!

    One little thing: Is it possible to re-arrange the screen of a club:


    Because I liked it very much, as it was in one of your previous versions, to have the panel with the kits and the trophies in the middle!
    Little rearrange of that screen, I think, I would not be the only one who would appreciate this very much!

    And just an idea:
    To add the prices of a player, that were payed in his carreer for his transfers, to be seen directly:

    Just when you think it would be worth it spending your time...

    Thanks mate in advance!
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi Jürgen Hartmann: if you use the NO HIDDEN SIDEBAR and you want to use the wide sidebar, choose the folder NO HIDDEN SIDEBAR ICONS + TEXT (and read the read me file) and you also have to choose that option in preferences of the game (untick the option "use iconns only").

    Hi Axis7114: thanks! Regarding your question, go to the settings of the skin and change the colours in this piece of code

    <colour name="unknown attribute background" red="227" green="178" blue="110"/>
    <colour name="low attribute background" red="246" green="42" blue="42"/>
    <colour name="normal attribute background" red="255" green="156" blue="0"/>
    <colour name="good attribute background" red="15" green="158" blue="15" />
    <colour name="excellent attribute background" red="20" green="247" blue="28" />

    after the changes reload the game.
  • Axis7114's avatar
    Thank you FLUT for making the best skin. I would like to change the colour of background boxes in "attributes with background boxes". What files do I have to edit? I have used 2 hours now trying to figure out with no success.
  • Jürgen Hartmann's avatar
    Thank you FLUT for the files for NO HIDDEN SIDEBAR!
    Really appreciated and I missed it already.
    By the way: In one of the previous versions, wasn`t there an option for a big, wide sidebar on the left side? Or is it me, and I am too stupid to find...

    Cheers Mate!
