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.

    flut, any idea why I'm getting different kits showing up for Liverpool in the link below. So far I've only seen it affect Liverpool. the kits are fine in the club info page and the config file for my kits seem ok. but in game the match score board its showing a kit for a different team. In the post match panel it just shows a default red kit. Any ideas at all what's causing this conflict? thanks

    bluemoon78 and Skerzos: Thanks. Reagrding the "Highlight Key Attributes for Role” it only works with one of the options. In this case I choose the attributes with background boxes because that is the option I use. If you want to change for the other option, please try to find here in my comments since I remember I already explained here in the thread how to do it.

    muck: I didn’t change anything in 2D match. In spite of that, I tested to play in 2D and in my game nis oaky.

    Tankiro: thanks.
    You can edit 1. in person snapshot club overview16.xml in lenes 53 (for the coloured bar) and 68 for the manager name.
    2. in bergkamp club overview staff panel21.xml and in person snapshot club overview21

    fmnewbie: thanks.

    Luy: thanks. You can edit that problem in . in person snapshot club overview16.xml in lenes 53 (for the coloured bar) and 68 for the manager name.

  • muck's avatar
    GS1981 i have the same problem https://prnt.sc/wqu5zw
  • Skerzos's avatar
    Hey man, great work.
    On the Player Profile, when I select "Highlight Key Attributes for Role" it works fine in the "Attributes with Background Boxes" panel but not on plain "Attributes".
    Is there a way to fix it?
  • Tankiro's avatar
    Hi FLUT,

    Fantastic skin as always and thank you for the continuous support! A couple of small questions: where can I find the XMLs for the linked pictures?

    1. Club > Profile (Manager Panel) - Manager Name obscures face. What XML & code dictates height of text (or perhaps size of image is the issue)?

    2. Club > General (Key Employees Panel) - Similar issue to above with text/picture alignment.

    I play on 85% so aware this is probably the issue. I've worked around other changes but cannot find what values sets these.

    Thank you in advance!

    Pictures here.

    1920x1080 better viewed on 85%

    Thanks for your great skin!!!

    Hi Flut,
    congratulations for the job. I've been using only your Skin for years now.
    I wanted to know if the skin supports 2560x1440 resolution.
    I did a test but the name of the coaches overlaps their photo.
    Should I stop at 1920x1080?
    Thanks!
  • butleriain's avatar
    Flut, thanks very much. Looks great now with the small editing I made.
  • majesticeternity's avatar
    Thank you!

    deeart22: finally I could try that bug you told me related to the injury. I switch to the default skin and also can't continue the game. Thus, I believe is a bug of the game and not of the skin.
  • Dennis2600's avatar
    I've found out how to solve the problem. I just changed the colour of the boxes :) Thanks!
  • Dennis2600's avatar
    maybe both the boxes and the number inside them
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi GS1981: could you please put a screenshot with that problems?
  • GS1981's avatar
    Hi this one doesn't fit my screen, i'm playing at 1920x1080, the tactic screen is to big and cut off and during the match i cant see the buttons to continue etc, i'm playing at 100% zoom
  • Flut's avatar
    majesticeternity: the skin works well in 100% zoom. Try 100%. Alternatively try the following:
    1. go to match inbetween highlights panel.xml and change the values true value and false value of this code (increase that values):

    <record>
    <flags id="alignment" value="horizontal" />
    <integer id="min_value" value="1360" />
    <integer id="max_value" value="1920" />
    <symbol id="set_property" value="width" />
    <integer id="true_value" value="1010" />
    <integer id="false_value" value="1010" />
    </record>

    2. If, for instance, you change the values for 1110, go to line 7 and put the same value in the value

    <integer id="TbWm" value="1010"/> <!-- 1360 - 1920 --> [this is line 7 as it is now]

    Dennis: do you want to change the colour of the attributes without boxes or the colour of the boxes?
  • Dennis2600's avatar
    Hi again Flut. Nothing is happening when i change the colour in the settings.xml. i have to press 'edit with notepad' right? and then change it to what i like. When i go into the game i can see my changes in the settings but on the player profile nothing has changed. Hope you can help.
  • franck69's avatar
    @ Flut : thx... i'm an idiot...
  • majesticeternity's avatar
    My screen resolution is 1920 x 1080, custom scaling at 110%
  • Flut's avatar
    Dennis2600: thanks. You can change the attributes colour in the settings.xml in the following code (don’t forget to exit the game and reload it after changes)
    <!-- profile attribute colours -->
    <colour name="low attribute" red="247" green="121" blue="121"/>
    <colour name="normal attribute" red="245" green="245" blue="85"/>
    <colour name="good attribute" value="green 100" />
    <colour name="excellent attribute" value="green" />

    butleriain: thanks! :)

    1. for the kit number you can edit it in kit icon14.xml in the following code

    <widget class="picture" id="bNUM" image_alignment="centre" scale_picture="true">
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="2"/>
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="74"/>
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" />
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="75" />


    2. You can edit this in person snapshot club overview16.xml in lenes 53 (for the coloured bar) and 68 for the manager name.

    franck69: you should place the skin folder in the skins folder of the game and not in the graphics folder. And try to clear the cache, exit the game and reload it.

    majesticeternity: what is your screen resolution?

    deeart22: when it happen in my game I will take a look on it.

    dugoutfm: look inside the flutskin folder. I believe there is another with the same name. It is that folder you should place in the skins folder of the game.
  • dugoutfm's avatar
    Hi all - need help please installing this.

    I have added the folder to the skins folder and now can see the folder fm2021flutskin_dark in there, and it is available. However, when i load the game and go to preferences, only the original FM Skin is in there. Any ideas?
  • Dennis2600's avatar
    Hi Flut. What a great skin! got one question for you. Where can i change the color of the players attributes?
  • butleriain's avatar
    hi Flut.

    1. Firstly, I believe its a screen resolution issue (my screen is 5120x2880). Which panel can I adjust this part of the player profile screen and which line. I will try and align it myself. But also the icons do seem a little big for the default kit? Squad number and name font size?

    https://imgur.com/a/MY4241v

    2. Secondly. Which panel can I fix the manager name from obscuring the picture.

    https://imgur.com/a/uD1P1b3

    Thanks for your work as always.
  • franck69's avatar
    Hi Flut. I have downloaded your 6.0 version but in game, it's still 5.0. However, i have deleted all old files. It's weird isn'it ?

  • vav's avatar
    FLUT It's a pity, but that's your right) Then I won't expect a light version of this skin, let's play on other skins.
