Skin Dark (Final Version) for FM 2017 regular career mode and widescreen (1920x1080).

Compatible with DF11 and Scope faces.

I would like to start by expressing my acknowledgment to all FMfans who keep me motivated to edit the FlutSkin with kind words of support and stimulus.
In spite of my great recognition to all FM Skinners and graphic/addons producers that make our FM experience much more exciting, I would like to express a special thank you to PATRES10, for the tailor-made default kits I included in the skin; to NECJEFF, for the original creation of country locator that I adapted in Flutskin; to JOVOVICH, for the wonderful match intro panels; to SIRWILL and PIKAWA, for the match scoreboards I included in the skin; and, “last but not the least”, to RUNE, who has always shared his ideas with me, was responsible for the most innovative idea to improve FM skins visual – the citypics – and who has been a “compagnon de route” since the beginning of this journey.
All of you are the main source of inspiration that has made possible to improve FlutSkin since the first time (in FM13) I decided to try to edit a skin.



About this update
This version does not include "structural" (or big) changes. It includes, however, several tweaks in different panels, namely in the following:
- News panel: pre-season report team preview, post match analysis, pre-match opponent analysis and team report panel tweaked
- Match preview, Match overview and Match pre-match panel: all the lineups in those panels were tweaked
- Match titlebar score: scoreboard was tweaked
- Flut match scoreboard (tweaked)
- Match introduction: League one, Serie A, K League, Bundesliga included (from Jovovich); Liga NOS included (non official intro, made based on EPL league)
- Board room ( “new” )
- Club overview panel: slightly larger club kits and Last XI tweaked.

I hope you enjoy this version!
See you in FM18!!!



Released: 27 August, 2017

Resolution requirements:

This skin was made to work properly in 1920x1080 (1080p) full screen mode. As a result, some panels won’t work properly in other resolutions (and also in 1920x1080 windowed mode).

IMPORTANT NOTES:

In this pack I included a TUTORIAL PDF with instructions regarding the structure of your Graphics folder in order to view the citypics, the kits and the competition logos in player details and in title bar.

You can download the 2D kits for displayed in player overview panel and titlebar HERE or HERE

You also can download the citypics (and much more) in the Backgrounds Superpack made by DAZS8 (with some contribution from myself and other FM Fans), HERE

How to add Flut Skin in FM17

Download and extract the .rar file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

Place the "fm2017flutskin" folder here:
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2017\skins

  1. Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.
  2. Start FM17 and go to Preferences screen and then into the Interface tab.
  3. You should see FM 2017 Flut Skin - Dark - Final Version as 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.

@ vandish: you can reduce the the player picture in the following xml (in the custom folder)

- player profile details1.xml
search for

increase the value 9 (you also can change the value of top in order to adjust the picture)

player profile details2.xml
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="8" />

increase the value 8 (you also can change the value of top in order to adjust the picture)

player profile details DF11 and scope.xml
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" />

increase the value "0" (you also can change the value of top in order to adjust the picture)

In each one of the xml search for

Hey Flut great looking skin the best out there iin my opinion but like many others this year am experiencing the crashing issue to the point where it is making the game unplayable and unfortunately will have to try another skin or failing that the default one. Hopefully you can fix this as your work is amazing, I do however notice one issue with your skin aside from this and that is when selecting match training the calendar day is always behind the actaul day of the game. For example if it is Monday the 19th in game then on this screen it would show as Sunday 19th, not an issue with default skin when I checked just wanted to give some feedback if you were unaware of this.

Hi Flut,

thanks for your last help.

I have an new question . At the "pre match" and "post match" page are no player names at the "player stats" in competitions (euro league, champions league, cups). How can i display the names of the player?

greets Joe

@mysterio; I can't indicate you the exact value because I don't know what is the size you want. Thus, sorry but you have to change the values and use the try and error method in order to adjust the picture according your taste.

@apass93: thanks!! Regarding your question, I really didn't notice that. Could you please put a screenshot in order I know exactly what panel is and what problem is?

@ joe03 : you're absolutely right. I made a mistake in a xml. I the next version it will be fixed. However you can fix it: go to competition player match stats2 (in the panels folder) and find the code: file="player/player and team label panel match"
change by file="competition/player and team label panel match"

Hi gianni: is not a problem of the skin. In fact, that problem is related to the fact that the Brazilian clubs are not licensed by the SI.

There was a fix to download from this website last year. Have a search of the database forum/area of sortitoutsi although it's worth bearing in mind it's still relatively early for FM17 downloads.

Hi vonreischsm: thanks for your report. In fact in portuguese this, as you can see in the screenshot, table is ok (and I tested it in portuguese), however as soon as possible I will adjust it with a little bit more space for "tore" and the place.

Flut,
Love 2.2 white skin and I find it difficult to play without. This FM17 year unlike in previous versions, I have the occasional crash so far, only when I am using your skin (..I am continuing to check). Normally a few screens after I played a 3D game and freezes the game (sometimes some letters "disappear" from the title bar also). When I check Windows Task Manager, it indicates the game is running out of memory (93%or higher). I have a pretty high end rig and this is the only time it happens, is as if something is creating a major memory leak. My files structure is the same as previous FM and the only additional files I use are the name fix, citypics, stadiums, metallic logo and face packs and 2D and 3D kits. If I find other clues I will be sure to tell you. Cheers!

Hi matg: thanks for your words and for your report. Unfortunately I couldn’t find yet what is (or are) the files that cause that bug (after updated this new version I already change a few codes in some graphics but I don0t know if solved the problem). Regarding the fonts I also tried lots of “solutions” but I believe I couldn’t find the problem yet (I think the problem is related to the capitals_bold font but I already changed for the default and…I really don’t know if it worked). Is weird, and if we reload the skin the fonts return ok…If you could find the problem I really appreciate if you could let me know.

Hi tabilicula: thanks. You should put the pack in my docs/sports interactive/graphics/pictures Give the name aaaaacities to the folder in order to be read by the game before the other folders in that pictures folder

Hi danny: you can change it in the settings.xml
Change the values of the code:
<colour name="unknown attribute background" red="227" green="178" blue="110"/>
<colour name="low attribute background" red="246" green="42" blue="42"/>
<colour name="normal attribute background" red="255" green="156" blue="0"/>
<colour name="good attribute background" red="15" green="158" blue="15" />
<colour name="excellent attribute background" red="20" green="247" blue="28" />

However don’t forget if you change the values the changes also affect player attributes boxes and manager attributes boxes

Hi Flut,
Whatever causes it seems to maximize the memory usage to the point it causes the game to freeze. Once you reload the skin the game runs fine until the the next time and it doesn't happen all that frequently....it seems to build up to it. I get around by "saving" a lot so I don't lose my progress and I am seeing if that in itself prevents the memory from maxing out. I will continue to monitor it and try to remember what the last key strokes were before the game freezes. Your FM 16 skins and earlier ran flawlessly.
