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.

    The Skin is optimized to work with HD and 4K Resolution.

    The only thing you can try are different zoom settings, but there is no optimization for your requested resolution.

    Cheers,

    @aktham @Flut

    Thanks, but the option is unchecked. Now, after starting FM today, everything works fine and was set as I've set it yesterday. Funny thing. :-)

    Thank you all for let me know the skin is working well!!

    reinergu: in my game is okay. Maybe you shoud clear the cache, exit the game and load it again.

    vonreichsm: as you can see is okay in my game. Maybe there is a conflict with other skin in your game...



    Doddo: I started to work on light skin before the SI update but lots of things should be adjusted Now, even more. I really don't know when I will return on that....If I will have time, maybe in Christmas holidays,but I don't knw yet..sorry, for now.

    Thanks for your great Skin Flut. Look forward for the light skin my friend.

    Been using your skins for years (mostly the "light" version). Makes the game so much more immersive. Thank you !

    Hi flut and thanks for the now running new version. I think i´ve found a bug?
    Have a look at the tactic screen at the match. I can´t find/see this in your skin:

    Works well.
    Thanks.
  • jeff44's avatar
    works well as far as i can see well done for quick update
    Really appreciate it mate keep up the good work
  • reinergu's avatar
    Hi Flut,

    yes, indeed, it works well... Thank you for your effort.


    At the Home Screen (F2) I have a little problem. I can set the tables and the next time I visit this Home screen it is not as I set it. So it doesn't save my settings. Does that has a reason?

    Cheers
  • Aktham Shraiba's avatar
    WORKS WELL TILL NOW
  • Aktham Shraiba's avatar
    Thank you very much FLUT really appreciate your effort ...
  • Flut's avatar
    HI all: I believe the skin now is running well. I believe I fixed that annoying problem regarding the slow running. Please test it and let me know if it is running well. And thank you all !!!

    In meantime, as you can see, I did some more tweaks. The major is in match scoreboard. I believe you will like it (I still couldn't find how to color the names of the clubs but I believe is okay as it is now)

    cheers

    Thank you FLUT for your effort .... it is a little bit better now at least we can play comfortably but the player panel changed a lot and it is expected to see after removing files .... waiting for the final fixed skin .... Thank you again

    Hey Flut,
    First of all thank you so much for the work you do - I have been using your skins for so long I don't enjoy playing without them anymore!

    I've been monitoring this page since thursday and just deleted the files you mentioned, and it does run at a usable speed now. Still slower than what would be ideal but better than without removing the files which was unusable imo.
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi all: again I would like to thank you your support and stimulous. I did some tests and although not completely solved, because, as Batdude said, the panels full of changes run slower, I believe I can reduce a lot the problem. There are two graphics folders slowing the game (tables and tabs) and also player overview panel, club overview panel and team report panel. For now, if you want, remove the folders tabs and tables (in graphics), header.xml (in panels/generic) and player overview panel.xml, club overview panel.xml and team report summary.xml. Try that and please let me know if the skin, although a little bit slower than the default run well. I will try to completely change that panels. So, sorry but I don't know when I will able to release the new version. Thank you all.

    Same Problem here. After the SI Update, the Skins reacts very slow. Clicking on a player needs about 5 seconds to open the players profile...

    Is there an option in Steam to go back to the previous version of the FM?
  • carR9's avatar
    Hi Flut, some skins have the same issue and others..works well, I don´t know why, I've tried several
  • franck69's avatar
    Thanks Flut. Meanwhile, i have switched to Priisek and the game is totaly fluid
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi all: only now I could look at your comments and the reported problem. I also quickly load my game and is also slow. I don't know why but as soon as possible I will try to do something. I don't know if I will be able to manage that proble. Is a shame. SI every years "kill" the skins edited by FM fans!!
