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).

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.

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.

I was thinking i was the only one with that problem

Flut,
Good news, since I installed the latest version and cleaned my folders, I have not had a crash in two weeks of playing FM17. One improvement you may want to look into for the next version are the text boxes for player instructions on the Tactical screen. On the "white skin" version (have not checked the dark version) they are almost impossible to read unless they are highlighted making it awkward for choosing player instructions. Love your work and Feliz Natal e um bom Ano Novo.!

Hi matg: thanks for your support and your help. I already edited the instructions panels (for players and teams) and now is readable (and also adjusted in height). Thank you because I hadn't took a look on it yet. Regarding the crashes, I'm glad to know that. In meantime I already did some changes in some panels with animations (I excluded almost all the animations) because I think the animations contribute to memory consuming....BOAS FESTAS E EXCELENTE ANO DE 2017 TAMBÉM PARA TI.

Hi daniel: you should strictly follow the installation instructions.

Dear FM Fans: As you can see above I released a new version of the skin with many changes. However, I would like to inform you to the fact that in spite of my efforts, unfortunately I couldn’t find the bug responsible for some crashes related to low memory that arise sometimes. Despite that, I am very satisfied with the “final” result of this version and I hope you enjoy it!!!!
Happy New Year for all of you!!!

Such a nice skin, but it's crashing regularly because of the memory leak (32gb, okay lol). A shame it's pretty useless for me at the moment

Great work. Is it possible to remove the players name from under his profile picture? I think the font looks quite amateurish.

Hi WKTHFC: Thanks. In fact the font was deliberately chosen in order to simulate a personal signature. But you can remove it. For that you should edit

player profile details df11 and scope
player profile details1
player profile details2
player profile details3
player profile details4

all of those xml are in the custom folder inside the panels folder of the skin.
Delete the following code (or the equivalent, because there are small changes in each one of the xml I referred; and note that in player profile details DF11 and scope the first part of the code, responsible for the coloured box, doesn't exist)):

<widget class="picture" file="boxes/flut/paper17" red_replacement="primary" blue_replacement="black" image_alignment="bottom" >

hi flut,
an other question: do you know why i see the default kit in the match in between panel at the 3d game and the right 2d kit at the club overview? my team is Bala Town from wales. Look at the pictures. 1. in the 3d match and 2. the club overview and 3. is the post match

yes i tried and the same issue. i think i know why. the team did not have a kit for euroleague in the editor and so the default is shown. i think so.

Flut,
One more suggestion/ask. When playing the a game on the 3D, the instruction option of "Team Talk" instructions, the colour and contrast on the first screen make it very difficult to read. Also since the latest update the game seems to runs faster...well done !

Hi Flut,
first of all let me thank you for the great work. You did a tremendous job with the dark Skin.
But I have a Little Problem. When I open the opponents instruction panel, the Panel for instructing
my tactics for each opposit player doesnt fold up. Do you have a suggestion how to correct this issue.

Hi vonreichsm: if you use the xml I put in my answer to kingofpain when you click on a player in the pitch, now you can give specific instructions to your players, regarding that opponent player.

Hi joe: thanks for the report. Here are the fixes. Put the 3 files directly in the panels folder of the skin and the file I sent you in "person" folder, inside the "person" folder of the skin.

Hi marcovanb: sorry but could you please explain a little bit more the type of changes and where you want to do it (if you could explain with a screenshot will be better). Sorry but I really didn't understand your question.
