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..

Sw33z : thanks. Regarding your questions, the scouting card is now black for the next version of the skin and the bench players layer is now blue.
zabak: thanks. That problem will be fixed in he next version as also the search bar colour when we go to search a player starting with a club with white colour in titlebar.
clouston1: thanks. Try with sidebar icons only 85% zoom and show me screenshots please.
nikolaosaek: I sent you a PM. Regarding the preferred moves its already fixed
jculpin: could you please place a screenshot with the problem?
Luka Modric: thanks!!!
TS.- Thanks!! Regarding your requests: 1. I will try to not Forget it. 2. Same, but I don’t remember. Thus if you could put a screenshot it will be great. 3. Same. I will try it.
unitedarestillthebest : I sent you a PM
1nscrutable: you should have the mini stadiums pack
paulparrot: first of all, thank you. Regarding your question, you can try different values of zoom. However, I don’t intend to adjust the skin for other resolutions since is a hard work. Sorry.
Dirkhochheim: thank you
lucavel85 and willyfk: thanks and thanks for reporting. I believe I already fixed it and it will be inluded in the 2nd version of the skin.
You are placing lots of questions and requests. So, I have to beg you:
1. Please report bugs and place screenshots to better understand them
2. Please read the thread befor posting because it already started the same thing that happened last year (some questions were already answered and is "terrible" to see many repeated questions)
3.Try to not make requests just because you prefered or like something, i.e., try question with "common sense"
4. Please be patient if I don't answer quickly
After all, this is only the first version and I know it can be much improved but ... slowly (my time is not only dedicated to the skin and it is not infinite).
is there away we can have kits displaying on scoreboard instead of managers names please

How can I fix it to Transparency.
I use notepad++ to change panels.
What is the object changing that area transparency in panels folder?
Thanks to you for every skins.
My 1st issue is at team view the info is not shown well.
2nd: at player profile the thinngs get worse. I event cant see his prefered foot. info in the photo.
3rd: on player training screen his preferred moves are nOT visible. This is an issue that existed last year too.
And 4th: the left bar, the one you make it to team color, the text is too big. It goes over the team logo. Thanks man.
Same problem here! Up from the second season I can't see it properly.
Amazing work, btw. This makes FM much more enjoyable. Many thanks!
