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.

Hi Carlito: sorry but I can't help you more than I said. I tried to explain how to make it work. Regarding your screenshot, if you download the pack with the 2D kits already prepared for player picture box, that kits will be displayed.
@denisgiordano: in the match incidents right in between highlights you should increase the vaue 100 in this code
<container>
<layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" layout="80,-1,100" gap="10" offset="10"/>
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" apply_to_children="true"/>
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0"/>
Do the same for the other xml.
You said "you should edit it in match incidents left in between highlights.xml and in match incidents right in between highlights.xml". Could you please tell me which exactly line I should change?
https://i.imgur.com/pI0LS6D.png
Also sorry to be a pain but what directory/config would I need in order to get kits to show up in the player profile beside the shirt number?
@denisgiordano: sorry but I didn’t understand your first question. Do you want to edit the skin, placing diferente panels? If so, you should edit the match in between highlights panel.xml
Regarding the second one: you should edit it in match incidents left in between highlights.xml and in match incidents right in between highlights.xml
@carlito: You should use a folder with stadiums with the config like I showed you. That folder should be placed in mydocs/sports interactive/football manager/football manager2018/graphics/logos
Hi swat:: Thanks for reporting the bug. Go to player comparison panel.xml (panels/players) and change
<container class="bordered_box" appearance="boxes/bordered/no margin/paper" red_replacement="white">
By
<container class="bordered_box" appearance="box
I meant these on right and left.
Also, how can I make the kits on these panels bigger?
I just have a problem, I can not change the tactics for corner and free kicks, have you encountered this problem.
Congratulation again for the work.
The stadium images show up fine on the club profile, but don't show up for the player profile. Would I need to copy the stadium folder to another location inside of the skin directory?
1. I think is not possible since the code is the same.
2. You should have a stadium folder with the correct config (similar to the following line - this is an example for one stadium pic . <record from="102980" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/102980/background"/>
3. Please go HERE
Thanks for all of your comments!!
Regarding the issues you talked abouT.
1. The floating boxes during match view:
Try to change in match/match console panel and change
floating_container_appearance="boxes/subsection/standard/paper102"
by
floating_container_appearance="boxes/subsection/standard/paperXXX"
2. Regarding the sidebar in the next version I will update it, move it down a bit and make it opaque.
3. Remove the faces from the tactics screen - Go to tactics folder and open tactics overview side panel.xml
Delete the following code
player_icon_file="tactics/tactics icon info panel overview2"
4. Regarding the oppacity, I also did na opaque version. Maybe it have some bugs yet (I really didn’t test all of it). I will send you in a private message.
- The city pic in the top left of the club profile page displays the same image as the club background. How would I add alternate city pics?
- In the player profile, no stadium images are displaying behind the player image. Instead I get the league background image.
- This might sound like a silly question but where is the option to add our own manager photo? I could only access the 3D model creator from my profile page.
I think thats why they went with a darker skin and a darker match panel in the original FM skin.
This is a fantastic skin, got faces, etc, and no I dont like the faces in the tactics overview on the main tactics page, but overall with cities pics and faces and the logos and the kits, all combined I stand by my fantastic comment. Can't wait for version 2 of these.
My comment is that the font quality could be better, theyre somewhat not very smooth. And the text is too big.
If you want to reduce the stadium image you can do it in two ways:
1. If you want to reduce the space ocupied by the stadium, change the value -4 by other one smaller in the foowing code located in match full time review panel.xml (in skin/panels/match)
<container class="bordered_box" >
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" inset="0" apply_to_children="true" />
<layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" offset="0" layout="-4,-1,-1,-1" gap="3" />
2. If you just want to resize the stadium picture but keeping the space ocupied by the current stadium box, in the same panel and in the following code, you just have to increase the value of <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" />, in the following code:
<widget class="stadium_picture" id="STEp" image_alignment="top" >
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="0" />
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" />
<record id="object_property">
<integer id="get_property" value="objt" />
<integer id="set_property" value="objt" />
</record>
</widget>
@meretrix: Sorry but the skin only works properly in 1920x1080 full window and I don’t intend to edit for other resolutions.
@yuri veiga: thanks. In fact the skin only works well in 100%. For some boxes I included in the skin I had not included the @2x – or I didn’t modified the xml. Thus, if you play in zoom mode, those boxes and buttons don’t work well.
Hi sawt: Thanks for your support.
Regarding your questions:
1. I didn’t include the xml responsible for that panel yet. However here is the xml (I put grey and gold). Put the file in panels/game
[url= https://mega.nz/#!T09HSKAR!EmdHcn2LE4hriiK2Ks4FrkTZ2BB3DQLJYf5MCiqGdF4]DOWNLOAD[/url]
2. You just have to delete the following panel (included in panels/team folder): team report squad depth overview panel.xml
@melnibonian: thanks for your support. Regarding your question, could you please explain a little bit or put a screenshot. Sorry but I didn’t inderstood it.
Hi armbi: many thanks for your support today and all these years. I’m very very pleased and grateful for it!!
Hi restet: I can’t help because for now my game goes well, not freezing.
Hi jeromus: Are you playing in 100%? The skin only works well in 100%. For some boxes I included in the skin I had not included the @2x – or I didn’t modified it. Thus, if you play in zoom mode, those boxes and buttons don’t work well.
Hi jaseyboy: please read the previous comments. The solution for that problem is already answered.
Hi Dawnicide: go to panels/player positions indicator small horizontal2 and change
<container height="142">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" apply_to_children="true" inset="0" />
by
<container height="142">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" apply_to_children="true" inset="15" />
Thanks, troy.. I will fix that problem regarding club affiliate club proposal panel in the next version.
@Peter Li: yes, you are right. I tried to include it but I couldn’t make it work yet.
@Dite De Molay: yes. You can change the colours in the settings.xml
Change the values red, blue and green in the following code (after you should exit the game and reload it)
<!-- background attribute box colours Flut 17 v1 -->
<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" />
@thebantams: Many thanks thebantams!! Of course I really appreciate all the support from all the people, without exception, but when the support comes from great skinners I feel proud. Thanks!!
Hi vonreichsm: Thanks! Reagrding your question, I couldn't see your screenshot. Could you please put another one?

ufff. It was hard to answer for all of you lolol
I would like a smaller image
The best Skin
Is it possible to create a skin for 1366 x 768 resolution ???
Thanks in advance !!!!
first of all let me thank you for this great skin and all the work you are putting into the game for our benefit.
The skin is great but I think there is a problem with the players names as they are not visible during the game in the pitch tab.
Is this intentional, a bug or I am doing something wrong?
Thanks a lot in advance
