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!!!

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).

Believe me, I´m very happy with the best skin ever!
Again many thanks mate!
Swainf: there is no icon since there is no CL match introduction,
Kfnielsen: as I said before I don't know what happens in some games where that bug arises. In my game everything is okay.
Magic: I will include it in the next version I will release soon.
Jonh Watson: I will not include any real scoreboards.
Postie75: yes is possible. However I have no time to explain you how you can do it. Sorry.
Mykal: you can change the fonts in the fonts folder. Edit the xmls matchtitlebar, titlebar and namex (the different fonts from the default I included in the skin.
May I ask if you have set the work and support on your skin?
I ask, because you are one of the most reliable skin modders, and have always provided support. But unfortunately we have not heard anything from you for a while ... too bad!

For some reason I got the same issue as Jürgen Hartmann regarding the player panel goes back to Plans.
In player overview when I browse through the players of a team, some are reset to "plans" instead of the "tree-ring-grafics" which I like very much there.
In my opinion, the skin is perfect, except for a trifle....It´s my big wish!
I still would like to have an overview of the last and next matches of my team during the weekly process. Just like in the Andromeda skin, only in the look of your skin.
The last solution that you posted a few weeks ago did not work, because I had only an empty, "black box" in the upper right corner.
That would be enough for me, if you bring that in the next version, it's not hurry. Maybe you could also test that yourself before?
I think that's a meaningful feature for everyone, as I'd like to know what games are coming up during the weeks process.
Here is a sample picture from Andromeda, as I would like to have (but just color adapted to your skin).
Many thanks in forward Mate!
<container class="vertical_adaptive_container" inset="5" offset="3" gap="3" mode="distribute_equally" id="Pnla " save_session_state="true" >
Infiltrator: that square is there by default in order to highlight the selected tab and is coloured according the primary colour of the team. However, in the next update I will change it in order to be softer and pleasing to the eyes
mykal: what are the fonts you want to change?
I took a look at the code for the leagues in focus tabs in competition news league overview panel.xml and was wondering if these 3 lines of code could have something to do with why tabs 2-5 aren't saving when I customize the leagues?
<container class="tabbed_container" id="Wwww" default_item="Pnlf" priority="1" save_session_state="true" appearance="boxes/bordered/standard/paper18" save_default_state="true">
<layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" alignment="top, extend" gap="2" offset="0"/>
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" apply_to_children="true" inset="0" />
The default_item code seems to apply to tab 1. Could this code that instructs the game to save the state session be applied separately for tabs 2,3,4 and 5? For example the id for tab 2 is "Pnla", while tab 3 is "Pnlb" and so on.
Great update! Love your skins for years now! Only one thing with this one, am i the only one with this problem? If i point something in de sidebar it gets a white square like this: https://imgur.com/a/UJmamAI
<layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" alignment="bottom,extend" layout="-15,1,-18" offset="0" gap="0" />
by
<layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" alignment="bottom,extend" layout="-16,1,-18" offset="0" gap="0" />
Regarding the manager info on the home page, I couldn't find that line of code in manager upcoming fixture.xml
1. try this: go to manager upcoming fixture.xml and change
<container>
<layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" alignment="bottom,extend" layout="-18,1,-21" offset="0" gap="0" />
by
<container>
<layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" alignment="bottom,extend" layout="-19,1,-21" offset="0" gap="0" />
2. go to club overview details9.xml and change
<widget class="text" spec="text" style="bold" id="TCnV" size="14" colour="text" alignment="centre" >
by
<widget class="text" spec="text" style="bold" id="TCnV" size="14" font="capitals_bold" colour="text" alignment="centre" >
Is there any way I can expand the height of this container to give the information a bit more room on the manager home page? With me using windowed mode it's condensed a little too much.

Also, how can I set the club nickname to higher case?
richbell82: thanks !
Jürgen Hartmann : thanks. Regarding your questions:
1. Try to use the game processing panel.xml from the 1.6 version.
2. Bartdude answered this question
3. Try the following: go to match team stats ibh bottom3.xml
And change
<boolean id="sort_disabled" value="false" />
By
<boolean id="sort_disabled" value="true" />
4. Is a great idea, thanks. However, I think is not possible to do that.
swainf : thanks for reporting. Is already fixed. You just have to delete the following file
news feed social item content panel.xml
Regarding the flag, please read my answer to Klapco
Bartdude: many thanks, my friend, for your always stimulating support . Thanks also for the answer to Jürgen Hartmann
Klapco:
1. Go to player overview panel and change
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="56"/>
By
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="35"/>
2. It’s already fixed for the next update of the skin. However, if you want, go to transfer offer player details panel.xml and change
<widget class="text" id="plas" alignment="left,centre_y,can_scale" multiline="false" font="value" auto_size="vertical"/>
By
<widget class="text" id="plas" alignment="left,centre_y,can_scale" multiline="false" font="value" background_colour="primary" auto_size="vertical"/>
Carlito_85: this happens because certainly you use windowed mode; however, if you want to reduce he pics, go to manager home training panel2 and search for code (there are two pieces of code)
<widget class="picture" id="prop" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" image_alignment="centre_x" height="95" width="95">
Decrease the value 95.
Regarding the tabs for leagues in focus, in fact in my game that bug doesn’t appear when I reload the game (or exit and start it again). I know there are some “bugs” reported that arise only in some computers (like the other one reported regarding not saving the positions panel in the player overview panel). In that cases I can’t help, since everything is okay in my game/computer. Thus, sorry, but I can’t help you. Try to clean the cache and reload the game.
yanzhihh928 : thanks
