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).

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..

How do I fix this?
Hi Shefeld: my bad. Sorry but I copied the wrong link. Here is the correct link.

Hi Klapco: are you using the alt for attributes without background boxes? If not, you can find a folder in the skin pack.
Hi jungberg: that's why I allways repeat that suggestion, even imagine that people, surely, already tried it. Is somekind the same that when we have a problem in our PC and ask an advice to a computer expert: the first answer is allways "did you try to turn off and turn on the computer?" lol
Hi tormi: trough the years that is an issue reported for some people. And yes, I believe the skin slow down a little bit the game. However, just in a few panels and not much time (5 seconds...I don't remember that happened in my game; only a little bit slower and nothing that disturbs me). I never found the cause for that (maybe the fact that there are so many graphics and so many xmls pointed one to another, etc...but I really don't know why).
Just wondering if its only me or if this fantastic skins slow down others computers. Sometimes I have to wait up to 5 seconds to switch screens. Compared to other skins that take maximum 1 seconds. If it is only me, any tips for fixing the slowness? I had the same problem with the FM22 version.

Phildw: thanks!!!! Regarding your question, I took a look in the xml in the alt folder (player additional attributes panel.xml), I tested and it works well removing CA/PA from the attributes in player overview panel.
Klapco: sorry but I didn’t understand. The colour of the attributes background boxes are the same in all the skin….Could you please show me the screenshots showing the diferences?
Shefeld Hammer: hi and thanks. Also for reporting that bug that I didn’t notice. In meantime I tried to fixed it correctly but for using the full club names I couldn’t make it. However, I did na alternative way to use the full names in White but now readable. You can use this file (place it in panels/match/comps/eng/efl). If you prefer return to the default (with the 6 letter club names) you just have to remove this file and reload the game).

Can you upload player overview panel.xml from V5 for me?
Thanks.
@lakchakkey: you just have to use the player overview panel.xml from V5
@nikolaosaek and @vonreichsm: thanks for reporting since I don't have noticed that. For making works I had to remove the attributes from Player Panel 5 and 6 and now it works.
Here is the file. Place it in the player folder of the skin
DOWNLOAD
@Vonreichsm: regarding that panel, is not a bug. I preferred to not use that background in order to have a more clean background in that panel. However, you can easily include that background. Go to fixtures list panel.xml and change
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" apply_to_children="true" />
<widget class="picture" file="backgrounds/default" id="bgnd">
for
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" apply_to_children="true" />
<widget class="picture" file="backgrounds/fixtures" id="bgnd">
second thing i´ve found:
At version 6 i have the default (blue) background at fixture and not the right background from fixtures (see screen).
