This is FLUTSKIN version 8.0 for FM23!!
First of all I would like to give a great thank you to all FM fans who choose to play with FLUTSKIN and always keep me motivated to still editing the skin and gave me new ideas!!!
A special thank you to all of players who decided to distinguish my work with a donation!! Although just a small part of FM Players who use the skin made a donation (I edited the skin as a hobby and, as you know, completely free), I always feel honoured and happy when people recognize the work done and decide to contribute. So, I reinforce, I have to give a special thank you to that friends of FlutsKin!!!!!!
Also a thank you to all the skin makers who indirectly contribute to my work, and a special thank you to PATRES10, from fmslovakia for the 2D default kits (especially tailor-made for FlutSkin), to MICHAEL MURRAY since I started editing the match inbetween highlights panel based on his amazing work, to QVORDRUP, for the metallic “Round country flags” and his great collaboration in the “country locator maps”, to NUNO KOPIO for the “Square shiny flags” I included as alt files (for using as an alternative to the “Round country flags”) to PMPOU for his great contribution with many tickets to customize the skin, and to DAZS8 for his great work in the addons for Flutskin. I also thank you for the contributes made by NOLEAFWILEN and RICHBELL.
In FlutSkin you can find so many changes comparing to the default skin that I can’t present all of them here. I suggest you to go through the panels in order to see with your eyes all the changes!! (it includes the most required stuff such as instant result during a match, picture of the player who scores a goal in the match, last starting XI in club overview panel, citypics, outside and inside stadiums vision, real 2D kits in player overview panel, etc, etc).

- Note 1: I also decided to keep the panels of the Uefa Cups, Bundesliga and EFL as default. However, I included a new alt for those who prefer using the match titlebar of the FlutSkin, in all competitions.
The pack includes many alt files for customize the skin (please read the read me file included in the pack) and several tutorials: 1) how should be the configs for the stadiums packs; 2) how can you adjust the size and the place of the kit number in player overview panel; 3) how can you do the 2D kits adapted for Flutskin. BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE ALT FOLDERS AND ALSO AT THE READ ME AND TUTORIAL FILES!!
You also can download the stadiums megapack and the citypics released by DAZS8 (thank you, my friend)
HERE, HERE and HERE
Important note regarding TV LOGOS:
Although the default tv logo is the one I use, of course you can easily change it; for that you just have to go to skin/graphics/icons/tv logos. In that folder there is a alt folder with many TV logos. You just have to replace the tv logo.png and the tv [email protected] for that one you want. Of course you should rename the new logos as tv logo and tv logo@2x. You also can use other logos made by you. The procedure to use them is exactly the same. However, I should remember that yo should use logos with the right height. For tv logo you should use 25px and for the @2x you should use 50px.
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 3840x2160 (4K with windows display settings 200%) and also 1920x1080 (1080p) full screen mode, sidebar icons only. As a result, some panels won’t work properly in other resolutions..

Hi rich: thanks. Here is the file fixed for no attributes (should be placed in news_items_panels folder).

The other problem, sorry but I didn't understand. You are talking about what client_object_browser.xml (in what alt folder is that?)
Just tested it and that has sorted the bar across the top and still allows me to use special backgrounds.
If you could change this for future downloads that would be great mate

I only use your skin. No others even come close. So I never have anything else in skin folder except for yours.
Any ideas what files I need to replace to sort the grey out? I had just copied and pasted the files from the v3 for the grey borders.
Also any chance you could remind me how to remove the condition/sharpness on the match screen please? I have removed those two files so I only see the heart and no numbers on player profile etc. would love to have just the heart on the match screen.
thanks matey
Regarding your last screenshot is something eird since if we use the grey style, that bar in white in your game should be also grey (not white; all the bars on the top should be allways grey). I tested it and is okay. So, maybe there is some conflict with other skins....
I am using the grey alt from v3.
I have a couple of ideas. Either have that area grey at all times and not changing per club or competition. Or if it is possible, have a second colour for the text, say black, that can change from white should the background colour merge and become unreadable.

I'm not sure if this of any help/assistance, I have taken screenshots of areas in the non attributes version. Where attributes are still showing. I'm not sure if any of these have been pointed out as of yet. But here they are matey

I think I may have had some folders open and my beagle stepped on my keyboard and accidentally /sneakily deleted some files at random.
Hope you’ve had a lovely Christmas and the new year started off well for you.
Quick one…. Any ideas when 4.0 will be ready? I cannot wait for it. The improvements in 3.0 as always have been off the chart!!!! Super work once again!!
cheers!!

Hi trigger: finally I could find the problem. I believe you can download now this pack and the flutskin style it will be shown in all competitions. In the pack there is a comps folder to place in tactics folder of the skin and other comps folder for match folder of the skin.

Also, is there a way to de-activate the coloured bars on the team screen on players' names? I mean the subs having a green colour and the out-of-selection players have greyed bars over their names. And when you sort them by position, it gets confusing with all these colour mix
