FM 2021 FLUT skin dark - Version 16.0


Dear all

This FLUTSKIN version 16 is the final version of FLUTSKIN for FM21!!

A great thank you to all FM fans who choose to play with FLUTSKIN and always keep me motivated to still improving 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 recognized thank you to those one who help me answering the questions and requests and adapted the FlutSkin (namely and specially Rosek for the adapted version for 2560x1440, and Richbell, for the adapted version with hidden attributes!!!!! ).
And, of course I don't forget the skinners community who also indirectly contributed to FlutSkin with their creativity.

Also a special thank you to PATRES10, from fmslovakia for the 2D default kits (especially tailor-made for FlutSkin) anf to Michael Murray since I started editing the match inbetween highlights panel based on his amazing work!!

Now is time to stop editing the skin for this season. I wish to return for FM22. Lets wait and see since no one is able to predict the future.

MAIN CHANGES IN v16.0
- Following the great idea of majesticeternity, Tyburn and a31632 (from Sports Interactive community) I included in several xmls a code for personalize the background in specific panels, namely club overview, player overview, board room, human profile and team training. These codes are not “activated” by default but if you want to have a different (customized) background in each one of that panels you just have to activate the codes. In the read me file I explain how you can do it.
- Nation overall panel
- Nation overview panel
- Human profile panel
- Player profile stadium option in player overview panel
- News panel


The Skin pack also 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!!!

You can download the 2D packs prepared for Flutskin (titlebar and player overview panel). For that you should search for that kits pack elsewhere since the download link in FMScout is down due copyright issues.
However, if you prefer edit your own kits, I also included in the pack a .pdf file explaining how you can edit the kits for Flutskin.

You also can download the stadiums megapack and the citypics released by DAZS8 (thank you, my friend)
HERE, HERE and HERE


For those who want to make the game more difficult, now you also can download an adapted version of the skin (v. 15) with the attributes values hidden. This adapted version was an idea of richbell and, although with my help, it was richbell who also did the majority of the changes. Thank you my friend!
PLEASE NOE THAT FOR THIS VERSION WITH HIDDEN ATTRIBUTES WORKING WELL YOU SHOULD REMOVE THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE SKIN


Here is the link: DOWNLOAD THE V15 WITH HIDDEN ATTRIBUTES

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 to add Flut Skin in FM21

Download and extract the .rar file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

Place the "fm2021flutskin_dark" folder here:
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins

  1. Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.
  2. Start FM21 and go to Preferences screen and then into the Interface tab.
  3. You should see FM 2021 Flut Skin dark - Version 16.0 as an option in the skin drop down of the Overview box.
  4. 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.

    KaniuK. Could you please to explain a little bit why/when the skin causes that eyes problem you are talking about? Thanks.

    FMLjungberg: here is my graphics structure. I don't know if it helps you.

  • FMLjungberg's avatar
    @Flut. Thanks for your prompt reply. I have removed all other skins from the skins folder. I can only choose between your skin and the original. The skin is added in the following path: D:\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins\fm2021flutskin_dark, and I can load it correctly. I have unticked "use caching..." and reloaded skin several times but still the stadium backgrounds doesn't show. One thing I noticed is that I had my background stadium pictures in folder "zbackground", I changed to "background" but then my city picture backgrounds also disappeared, I then moved my stadium background pictures out to of the background folder. So both my citypics and stadium backgrounds are now in the following location: D:\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\graphics\pictures\Citypics and D:\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\graphics\pictures\Stadiums. Now the city background is displayed properly on the club info page but still not the stadium background picture, and the stadium background is displayed on the top of the stadium info page, but not in the bottom. Do you have a guide on how to display the backgrounds on each page? E.g. club info page, stadium page and player info page?

    Teoretycznie bardzo ładnie to wygląda. Jest niestety nie praktyczne. Po miesiącu codziennego grania, oczy do wymiany....
  • Flut's avatar
    @Richy: no, sorry :(

    @Winny: thanks! Regrading your question, you can do it in the settings.xml in this piece of code:

    <colour name="unknown attribute background" red="146" green="82" blue="143"/>
    <colour name="low attribute background" red="247" green="121" blue="121"/>
    <colour name="normal attribute background" red="245" green="245" blue="85"/>
    <colour name="good attribute background" value="green 200" />
    <colour name="excellent attribute background" value="green" />


    @munse: here is the link for version8 DOWNLOAD

    @FMLjunberg: I didn't change anything regarding the backgrounds. Maybe there is a conflict with other skins...and don't forget to remove the previous version before installing the 9.0.
  • FMLjungberg's avatar
    Hey! I just downloaded and run the game Version 9.0 version but now none of my stadium backgrounds is displayed on any club information or stadium view. It only displays the "coming soon" default background. All my stadium backgrounds were showing just fine in the 8.0 version. What changed in the 9.0 version? I remember there used to be a PDF describing how to visualize different background graphics in the skin, do you still have this instructions available? I can't find them in the 9.0 version bundle.
  • munse's avatar
    sometimes my computer freezes when i go to player profiles or tactikscrteen.

    it only happens with version 9.0.

    can i download version 8.0 again somewhere?
  • Winny17's avatar
    Hello, great skin! When I change attribute colours in preferences it only effects the attribute background box colour of staff. Is there anyway I can do this for players too?
  • JoseBourinho56's avatar
    Do you plan on releasing a Light version of this?
  • Flut's avatar

    andreponsech.
    : Thanks. Maybe it can be done but since some code as changed and that panel (xml) points to many other xmls it will be a hard work (and without knowing if it works…)…

    Gambu. Thanks. I answered you in the PM chat.

    TedDarrellYadi: I didn’t understand your question. Sorry. Could you please expklain a little bit more?

    Pombini88: Thanks.
    1. For 1920x1080 use 100%
    2. Download a pack with the 2D kits for Flutskin (FC Style)
    HERE or HERE (SS Style)
    Unzip and place the 2dkitlogos folder in this location:

    your PC > Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2021 > Graphics > Pictures > Logos

    DexterHovis: thanks!!! And also for the donation and for the suggestion regarding the player pictures in tema squad.

    reinergu: go to competition news panel.xml, look at the ID of the code with the nespaper you want and change
    <container class="tabbed_container" id="gcol" default_item="ftsc" save_session_state="true" dont_set_embedded_title="true" >
    for
    <container class="tabbed_container" id="gcol" default_item="="[HERE PLACE THE ID OF THE NEWSPAPER YOU WANT TO SEE AS DEFAULT]" save_session_state="true" dont_set_embedded_title="true" >

    donpablo: sorry but I don’t know how to do it. I tried but instead of the player picture the competition logo is displayed…maybe the game doesn’t accept player pictures in that panel.

    Parabens FLUT!
    Seus skins são sempre os melhores todos os anos!
    É possivel compatibilizar o Flut skin 2021 para o FM17?
    Ou ao menos o Player Overview? Este é o melhor!
  • Gambu's avatar
    Boa tarde Flut,
    Uma vez mais... excelente trabalho, como costumo dizer, com a tua skin temos outro FM!
    Estou com um problema, provavelmente na configuração do "config" dos trophies. Não me aparece a imagem do trofeu ao lado do logo da competição, na barra superior, apenas me é mostrado o logo da competição do lado esquerdo (do lado direito, tudo OK)Podes dar-me alguma dica?
    Já fiz alguns testes, mas sem sucesso... qual é o código que as linhas devem ter no "config" dos trophies?
    Obrigado
  • TedDarrellYadi's avatar
    How can I change the mid-match panel as you have shown?
  • Pombini88's avatar
    Boas Flut!

    Tenho várias dúvidas. A primeira é a que distância devo jogar (85%;95%;100%;110% ou 125%). Não sei qual é que é a melhor para tirar o máximo de proveito da skin. Jogo em Ecrã Completo (1920x1080).
    A outra dúvida é como é que eu adiciono os kits do lado direito dos jogadores. É que eu acho que encontrei isso noutro site e não consegui entender como colocar.
    A skin está espetacular.
    Abraço,
    Pombini88

    Thanks Flut!

    Hi Flut!

    Once again, thank you so much for the work you're doing!

    How can I select a default newspaperdesign. Everytime when starting the game the newspaper is set to another one.

    Cheers,
    reinergu

    Hi Flut.

    I've got a problem with the player profile page where I'm getting half of the club crest appearing over the front and back of the shirt.

  • sbugg's avatar
    Wow fantastic you have fixed it. Thank you so much.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi sbugg: but as you can see, after the fix I did I think everything is okay (or am I wrong?)
  • sbugg's avatar
    Hi Flut if you look in the pic attached on my previous post, next to positions there is the old style combined condition and match sharpness icon that SI said they replaced with the heart and the other graphic.
    I was available again when the icons disappeared but was not available when you fixed the problem.
    It was the percentages that people were asking SI to put back because of colour blindness and the fact they just hated the new icons.
