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

    @carR9 I have been through the thread and can't see anything regarding the issue I am having. The issue I am having is that the 2d kit in a players profile only sometimes works. In the example the two teams are in the same league with the same config file yet Norwich don't work and Huddersfield does work.
  • Max_Power's avatar
    Forgive me but I forgot a couple of things, if I don't bother you:
    1) the background I decided last year remained, now I always have to change it.

    2) The national t-shirts, in the player's card, remain the default ones despite having followed the procedure to adapt the kits I have to the letter .. in fact the club t-shirts work.

    Thanks again
  • Max_Power's avatar
    Hi Flut, great work as always. But I have to ask three things: 1) but can't you go back to the old view where the player's photo was on the left with the background of the stadium that didn't bother the eyes?
    2) I have adapted my kits folder for the players card (the team shirt next to the one with the number so to speak), but you can see below, slightly, the default shirt. Can it be made smaller?
    3) In the home of the teams the name of the coaches is superimposed on another writing.

    Thanks a lot, keep it up!

  • 1nscrutable's avatar
    Thanks for your answer, Flut. Please forgive my clumsiness but when I open settings with NotePad, I saw something like https://ibb.co/SJh0XcX this. Where should I add the codes that you have told me to do so?
  • speedfreak77's avatar
    great work .... just one question ... why do you see before the start of the game when both teams come onto the field no team lineups? or is that due to the game settings? .... I do not find anything !!
  • carR9's avatar
    @mdrup Below you have the answer.

    Hi Flut, huge fan of your skin.
    I have a quick question about a the 2d kits being logos.
    I am having a problem where some teams are having the national teams kit at their logo but some teams in the same league actually have their own kit. Any I what I've done wrong?

    bluemoon: there are codes for instant result in four xml
    client object browser.xml
    match confirmation panel.xml
    match playback control container.xml
    team squad tactics panel.xml

    Regarding light skin, as I supposed I already said, only later, when this skin will be stable in the general layout and some details. I have no time no manage two skins on these days.

    abeadklate: thanks!! Regarding the "complaint". You have to look the "small hand" and when the hand will be open you can click for instructions (only when the hand is "pointing the finger" it goes to the player profile)
    Regarding the bugs-instruction, I took a look and it seems everything is well. Could you please put a screenshot?
  • bluemoon78's avatar
    hi flut can u say me; where is the match instant results file?? I hope u will do light version skin thx..
  • abeadklate's avatar
    HI. always the best and most creative skin as always. GREAT WORK AS ALWAYS. i am a fan of your skin .
    I just have on minor complaint, on tactic skin when you click on a position to edit individual instruction, it goes straight to player profile. Is there any way to disable this, as the extra clicking is annoying (plus the individual instruction already existing bugs-instruction not displaying correctly).

    Amazing work though. Thanks
  • Flut's avatar
    mindows: maybe you was used another skin before. Sometimes it cause that kind of conflict. Clear the cache, exit the game and reload it.

    1nscrutable: you have to go to setyings and change the values in the following 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" red="157" green="217" blue="121" />
    <colour name="excellent attribute background" red="83" green="249" blue="83" />

    TS_ you can change the font size in player attributes panel4abox.xml
  • TS.'s avatar
    Thank you so much, Flut.
    Can you just tell me what controls the size of font in attributes player pop up overview (the ones without background boxes).
  • mindows's avatar

    Thank you,
  • 1nscrutable's avatar
    Hi Flut,
    First of all, thanks for your awesome work! My problem is that even I tried several times, I couldn't change the color codes in players' attributes page. Can you please help me with this?

    @cholo: Thanks! Regarding you questions:
    1. to edit the general overview you should edit the team container information overview panel club.xml - however that xml pointed for some other you have to find, for instance, using notepad++ open the xml and use the command “find”. Find file= (than you can see each one of the xmls there are working complemmentary with this)

    2. You have to do the same for club overview pnael.xml (responsible for club overview panel)

    3. Regarding the problem with the editor, sorry but I don’t know how to help you.

    4. Concerning the other problem (the continue button) everything is well in my game. Try to clear the cache exit the game and return (and keep this skin only in the skins folder).

    @Klapco: I believe now you understood why the FM players should always have to do the changes (as you imagine I will not remove things that work well in the skin with proper screen resolution)

    @Gambu: You can download the 1.0 version

    Hi Flut, magnificent work, year after year... as i told, we ve a FM with, and another totally difrent without FLUT SKIN! Parabéns!
    Anyone tell me where do i find 2D Kits (profiel players) for these season 20-21?
    Thanks.
  • Cholo14's avatar
    Hi Flut. First of all, thank you very much for the great work creating the skin, second I will tell you about any problem I have. I have a resolution of 1920x1080 and the zoom at 85% is the best I can see, but in the club information screen and in the general screen there are elements that are superimposed on others, cut stars and things that do not look good, if it is possible to fix it myself it would be great, just like I did with the kits. Another thing, with the editor I removed the B team and added it as a reserve team and since then instead of leaving the flag of Spain, it comes out with the Algerian flag, top right, how can I change that?
    Finally, the button to continue at half-time and at the end of the game has disappeared or is not seen, the calendar comes out.
    Thank you very much for everything.

    @flut
    True. That was my suggestion for everything to be resolved in the next updates, not that I am attacking your work. Without your skin I would not even buy the game.Support from me !
  • Flut's avatar
    Hi all.
    First of all I would like to thank you the people who felt that Klapco was attacking my work and gave me support. However, I believe it was not the intention of Klapco. I believe I understood his point. I imagine Klapco thought something like “if the other version also have taht bug, why is not fixed now?”. In order to avoid misunderstandings I also believe I have to explain why. In fact there are two kind of potential problems: bugs and “problems” due the screen resolution used by the FM players. Bugs, for me, are those things that dpon’t work well in the skin – even in the resolution where is supposed to work well (in this case 4k) as, for instance, missing commands or commands that do nothing, wrong text colours, etc ; problems are those things that is not adjusted for some resolutions. The “problem” reported by Klapco (and also by other players) is in that later category. In fact, in the resolution for which the skin was edited that logo works well and, in my view is important to be there (when we don’t have the 2D kits adapted for flutskin, it will be displayed on the default kits since, as we know, that kits don’t have the badge and, with the logo I included the team logo is in the right place with the right size). In other resolutions that problem arises and one of two strategies are required: or reduce the logo or delete it (the easiest solution; that one I already explained in this thread). That’s why this and maybe other “problems” still remaining in all versions of the skin and always have to be solved by the users of the skin without a 4k screen.
    Well, I believe now is more clear. Regarding the reported problem, Klapco, as carR9 and vonreichsm said, I already explain how to solve it. Thus, please, look at the thread and please search my comments where I present the solution.
    And ... please, guys, enjoy the game and don't be angry because it's not worth it.
