FMC FLUT skin for FM 2014 – DARK VERSION v.1.0 [updated 29 May 2014]

Dark Skin, style FMC for FM 2014 career mode (1920x1080)

I'm pleased to present you the updated version 1.0 of FMC FLUTSkin for FM 14 (dark version).

As always I would appreciate it if you could tell me when and in what circumstances (or panels) the bugs arise.

Here is the most important tweaks in the update for FlutSkin version 2.0:

- Inbox mail (left side of the panel) now appears the name of the media below the text.
- Fixed the panel of media profile.
- New changes in player attributes profile (including the same kit picture that is included in player profile)
- Bigger pictures in backroom advice, and inbox news.
- Staff and facilities box in training overview panel included
- New competition team and player stats
- New competition calendar
- New small icons for staff recommendation/capacity/potential
- New trophies (in order to choose that one you prefer I kept the others from “Champions League skin” of a31632, to whom I want to give recognition)
- Solved the problem with squashed columns in analyses screens (and in some other panels).

...And lots of other small tweaks that I really don’t remember ;-)

This skin was made to work properly in 1920x1080.


Installation Instructions


Step 1
Download the skin and extract the files (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

Step 2
Open the extracted folder “fmc2014flutskindarkv1.0_updated" and move the folder “fmc2014flutskindark” into your skins folder:

Win Vista/7/8: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2014\skins
Win XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2014\skins
Mac OS X: /Users/<username>/Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2014/skins

Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.

Step 3
Start the game and go to Preferences screen and Interface tab.
You should see "FMC 2014 FLUT skin – dark version” as option in the skin drop down of the Overview box.
Choose it.
Hit the Confirm button.

Hi

Thanks.
In order to show competition logos on the right you have to create a folder with the competition logos for background right.
In the config the code must be like the following:

<record from="100100" to="graphics/pictures/comp/100100/logo/background/right"/>

Yes. You can do that, replace the faded by the normal logos ;-)

Lovely flut, been waiting for the FMC skin in dark (was toying with the idea of doing it myself but no need now)

I agree about having a dark but transparent theme though so backgrounds can be used. I could replace the middle (left middle and right) and bottom (left middle and right) boxes with the ones in Vexillium for now if you don't fancy it.

It seems to be the case with some new skins that the action bar does not auto hide on the 3D matchday screen. For me this spoils the experience of an otherwise excellent skin,so is it necessary as not all skins exhibit this behaviour ??

Its caused by the fact that there is no full screen mode in fmc, which this skin is taken from and based on. It may be possible to add it back in but it's not simple.

Hi Flut,

Great skin! However, would it be possible to have a 1600x900 version again?

Don't forget that this skin is for FM career mode only (not for FMC).

Ok, Its confusing as it says FMC in the title and I thought that meant the classic version!

Thanks

Hi there.

Thank you for an absolut awesome skin

Only thing, how can i override your color choices for attributes.
I have tried under the "screen colors" tab.
But i think your skin overrides it

Kind regards

Hi HyperDK

Thanks. ;-)
You can change the colour of attributes background box in the "fmc2014flutskindark settings.xml" you find in the settings folder of the skin.
Search for


<colour name="low attribute background" red="216" green="157" blue="157"/>
<colour name="normal attribute background" red="94" green="149" blue="183"/>
<colour name="good attribute background" red="53" green="148" blue="82" />
<colour name="excellent attribute background" red="240" green="138" blue="35" />

and change the values according your taste.

cheers

Hi Bastien

In fact there are lots of files to edit in order to adjust for your resolution screen. I can't help you. Sorry...
