FM 2015 FLUT skin DARK VERSION v.2.7 [Released 25.07.2015]

Skin for FM 2015 (1920x1080).

I'm pleased to present you the version 2.7 of FM FLUTSkin for FM 15.

A special thanks to all of FM fans and FM skinners that made possible to make the FLUTSkin since FM 2013.

This skin was made to work properly in 1920x1080 Full Window. So, some panels don’t work properly in other resolutions (and also in 1920x1080 windowed mode).

In this version I included a version for DF11 player pics style

This skin includes lots of small changes and a NEW PLAYER OVERVIEW PANEL



IMPORTANT NOTES:

In this pack I included a TUTORIAL with the instructions for structure your Graphics folder of the game in order to view the citypics, the country locator, the kits and the competition logos in player details and in titlebar

I also included a folder named “Flags” with the country locators

You can download the citypics MEGAPACK 2.0 HERE and/or lots of country packs HERE
[/center][/i]


Installation Instructions

Step 1
Download the skin and extract the files (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).
Step 2
Move the folders “fm2015flutskindark" and “fm2015flutskindark_df11" into your skins folder:

Win Vista/7/8: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2015\skins
Win XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2015\skins
Mac OS X: /Users/<username>/Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2015/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 "FM 2015 FLUT skin – Dark Version 2.6” and "FM 2015 FLUT skin – Dark Version DF11 2.6” as options in the skin drop down of the Overview box.
Choose the skin.
Hit the Confirm button.

Hi Barrabas

It's weird your problem....Are you sure you have the right country locator (that one I included in the pack) and not the original made by necjeff? The country locator I included in the pack have, also (in the bottom) the flag. If you don't use it, the flag doesn't appear.


Excellent. Im using the original made by Necjeff , But I downloaded the latest version of your skin only, and is not the locator country there. Am I doing something wrong ?

Hi

The country locator is in the folder named "flags". Please read the tutorial carefully in order to include that folder.

Hello @flut I wont bother again, there is some way to make the image smaller city team, so you can see the country locator correctly?

Hi

Go to club overview panel.xml (in the panels folder of the skin) and search for the following code:

<container>
<layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" layout="-3,-4" offset="0" />

change the values -3,-4 by -1,-1 (the top box will be increased and the bottom will be decreased, and, therefore, the height of each one of the boxes will be equal).

cheers

Hi Barrabas

1. Go to news_item_panels folder and open the file inbox content with pitch panel.xml
Search for:

<widget class="pitch_with_tactics" id="ptch" icon_flags="show_name,use_player_kits_front,show_team_name,hide_bordered_box" height="680"

Change the value of height (decrease that value – put, for instance, 550

2. I think you can change the colour of sidebar. Concerning titlebar, don’t forget if you change the colour, it stops to change according the club colour and keep always with the colour you choose). However, I don’t remember now how to change the colour. I think will be better you go to the following site (from michaelmurray). There, you can learn how edit the sidebar.

https://sites.google.com/site/michaeltmurrayuk/index-guides/fm15-guide-how-to-edit-the-sidebar

3. Go to current game date widget.xml (in panels folder of the skin) and search for:

<container>
<layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" alignment="top" gap="-1" offset="22"/>

Decrease the value “22”.

Hi Barrabas

You can try to adjust the panel changing the values of the following code in team report summary panel.xml

<!--right side - report summary-->
<container>
<layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" layout="155,155,155,155,-1" offset="0" gap="1" />

Try to reduce de values 155 (for instance 154 or 153). You also can change the value of gap for "0".

Hi

You can delete the default picture in the graphics folder of the skin:

graphics/pictures/players (delete the files inside the players folder or even the players folder)

If you are using 1920x1200 or 1920x1280, it should be pretty good in windowed mode.

But if you are using 1920x1080, for some panels, you may need to set the Windows Taskbar to "Auto Hide" or set FM15 to 95% picture/font size.

I'm using 1920x1200 resolution, everything's fine.

Hi FLUT,

Found a weird issue.

My stadium got some sort of non-grassed surface, as a small stadium it's okay.

But in stadium overview panel, incorrect surface type appears. Grass? How come?

hi zzpiggy

yes its weird...
However I found the problem (and the solution).

Go to stadium overview panel.xml

find the following code:

<!--Surface-->
<container>
<layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" alignment="top,extend" offset="0" gap="4"/>
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" layout_children="true" inset="0"/>


<widget class="label" id="surf" spec="text,small" alignment="centre_x,bottom" height="20" font="fonts/letterpressed">
<translation id="text" translation_id="284339" type="use" value="Surface[COMMENT: heading; team_information_panel; pitch surface type]" />
</widget>
<widget class="picture" height="30" scale_picture="false" image_alignment="centre" file="icons/information/pitch_surface" />
<widget class="pitch_surface_type_label" id="SsfL" spec="text,large,bold" size="13" colour="title" alignment="centre_x,top" font="fonts/letterpressed">
<record id="object_property">
<integer id="get_property" value="SsfT" />
<boolean id="name" value="true" />
</record>
</widget>

</container>

delete the following line:

<boolean id="name" value="true" />

done! ;-)

Fantastic skin, really like it. Only problem i'm having with it, my "U21s" and "U18s" icons are on the left menu but there is no writing underneath. Any idea whats happening?

Edit: Just to let you know, I'm playing as Manchester United so the menu background is red with white icons. When I change screens, the text is there.

Hi

Thanks.
In fact the dark version of the skin (and not only this skin - I also notice that in other dark skins) have the bug you reported. I don't know why and unfortunately I don't know how to fix it. Sorry.
