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..

Thanks for your efforts mate ,
Happy New Year to everyone

https://abload.de/image.php?img=flutmatchohjfn.png
thx for the answer. Now it collapsed. Such a little thing i didn't recognized :-)
luismatos: I will try to answer your questions in the PM you sent me.
daqiqil: thanks! Could you please put a screenshot of the specific option (in the basic skin) you are talking about? I really didn't undertsant well about what you are taliking about.
Reynders: ah ok. No problem. In fact I understood you want to remove all the match inbetween highlights panel. Regarding that panel on the left side I believe you clicked on the clock and thtas why it is displayed. If you click again it will be collapsed and will be displayed correctly. However, if you prefer the original one, please look at my last comment to vonreicshm. There I explained how can you return to the default left panel.
sory but my english is not so good. I mean the panel at the left side on my screen during a hihglight. Is there a possibility to turn that off. The inbetween match panels are TOP! And the skin is absolute the best for me i ever saw except that one thing ;-)
Instalei o jogo agora mesmo e fiz o download da skin, do 2D kit pack e dos 3 packs dos estádios do DAZS8.
Será que podias ajudar me a meter a tua skin sem problemas? tenho medo de fazer asneira e depois não conseguir reverter isso. Cumprimentos, Luis
Hi Reynders: like DAZS8 I don't understand why you don't want the match inbetween highlights panel, since if you don't have it, you only can see the pitch without any animation. But if you want to do that, I believe you just have to go to match in between highlight.xml, remove all the code except <panel> and </panel>
WHY!! would you want to?
i mean is there a possibility to get rid of the match inbetween hihglights screen?

reynders: sorry but i didn't understand your question. could you please explain a little bit more?
max_power: what is the specific panel you are talking about? Regarding the circles in tactics during the game, I didn' edit that panel. So, is the default one which is displayed (as far as I remember..)
Aktham: As I said in the day I release the skin, it was a bug I fixed a few minutes/hours after that release. In that moment I place a message saying that I reupload the skin with that bug fixed. Thus, you can download the skin again and that bug will be solved.

How can i get the default? Which panel i have to delete?
is it possible to switch out the left side bar during a match?
No problem. It was my bad english, so you couldn´t understand. Hihi. Now everything is ok. I changed the colour to grey and everything is like before.
Thanks again for the skin and for the suport.
vonreichsm: thanks. Now I understood the problema. And yes, I choose a wrong colour for substitutes. For changing it go to graphics/tables/custom/squad/substitutes and change the colour in the xml (I changed now for green 900 but of course you can choose a colour you prefer)
proton6: sorry but I didn’t understood you problem. Could you please explain a little bit more and put a screenshot?
godlike_II, Klapco and Doddo: as you can see, everything goes well (now playing with Stuttgart as you suggested)
MirkoBini: sorry but I really don't understand well your problems. The problem regarding the logo in the player picture, I already answered here in the thread. The other I don't understand but I remember that the skin works well on 1920x1080, full window, icons only, 100% zoom. If you are using a 4K screen, you should adjust the windows display settings for 200%.
i see that you want to pull a substitute into the team. You can see the background of the players on the pitch who play that position. try substituting your current striker (Medi Taremi here). But you have to pull the player and you will see, no player of the substitutes bench shines.
