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!!!

Thank you

Hi: put THIS in the panels folder of the skin (overwrite all the menubar folder and put the file sidebar menu table.xml in the generic folder)
blindhorizon86
Thank you. Is there a way to change the default font without incurring in the low memory crash? (I tried inserting a renamed "ProximaNova-Reg" font into font folder but it crashed after a few clicks)
flut
Hi: I will release today a new version including new fonts (without blurring...I think).

i have a little problem with version 2.4 and two headers. (they going grey \ dark) pics inside
i had my first game with the skin and after i clicked the continue button for Match Preview, the headers from the next 2 panels greyed out. after i submit the team it goes back to normal.
the problem i have with the Hamburger SV, they have a white header, i don't know if the problem has other teams too.
after some tests has every team the header problem.
flut
Hi
You're absolutely right. I already fixed it. You can download the skin again because now the problem is solved (however I had to return to the titlebar default colours). Cheers and thanks for your report.

I would like only to changes the players' color attributes and the background color for the box relating players' attributes (now its green by default)
I go to preferences setting , but changing colors seems to be no effective:
How can I do ?
Thanks again for your work,
bye

HI
Thanks :-)
Regarding your question, go to the settings xml (fm17flutskindar- settings.xml) and for the attributes background boxes, search for the following code and change the values.
<!-- background attribute box colours Flut 17 v1 -->
<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" />
For change the attributes colour (without background boxes) search for
<!-- profile attribute colours -->
<colour name="low attribute" red="250" green="250" blue="250" alpha="140"/>
<colour name="normal attribute" red="250" green="250" blue="250" alpha="200"/>
<colour name="good attribute" red="159" green="220" blue="122" />
<colour name="excellent attribute" red="0" green="255" blue="0" />
and change the values of red, green and blue.
after that, clean the cache, exit the game and reload it.
cheers

Hi fascinoso73 : you have to create a new 2d kits folder with different config code. Do the following:
Duplicate your kits folder and change the config of each one of that folders. In the code for each club kit, change “team” by “club” and “kits/home” by “logo/background/left” (you can do it easily for all of them with notepad++). After that, rename the folder to (for instance) “aaakitsaslogos” put that new folder in my docs/Sports interactive/football manager 2017/graphics/logos.
cheers
Samirah
Can you clarify on this, because I have the same issue. But I don't understand what you mean by changing "team" by "club" exactly. Sorry if I come across as unsure...
flut
Hi samirah: you have to open the config for a 2d kit. Inside you can see lots of code lines like the following:
<record from="palheira1" to="graphics/pictures/team/2062002129/kits/home"/>
In each of the code lines you should replace team (in bolf above), by club; and kits/home (also in bold in the example) by logo/background/left
thus, the code will be
<record from="palheira1" to="graphics/pictures/club/2062002129/logo/background/left"/>
You should do it for each one of the configs of 2d kits.
Samirah
Okay, and leave the rest of the lines as they are? And do I remove kits from that line too? or just home?
flut
Sorry I did a mistake in the code. Please look again in my comments (I edited it).
Regarding your question the answer is yes. You should do the changes I told you in each one of the lines (but if you use the application notepad++ you can change all the configs - and all the lines of the configs only in two steps; first search for team in all the configs of the "new" folder with kits, and use the menu change by "club". After do the same for kits/home by logo/background/left

Thx for your answer, but it seems does not work.
For attributes colors I changed the original values as below (into the file fm2017flutskindark settings.xml):
<!-- profile attribute colours -->
<colour name="low attribute" red="250" green="250" blue="250" alpha="140"/>
<colour name="normal attribute" red="128" green="250" blue="250" alpha="200"/>
<colour name="good attribute" red="224" green="128" blue="128" alpha="255" />
<colour name="excellent attribute" red="255" green="0" blue="0" alpha="255"/>
But I still see the original color (already cleaned up cache, exit from game, realoaded skin)
Can you explain me why?
Thx

Any reason i have this black box on the kit?
flut
Hi danny: It seems you still have the wrong "overlay,png" . Maybe you are playing with zoom. If this is the reason, go to skin/graphics/pictures/kits/2d/outfield(back/zoomed/large and duplicate the transparent kit named overlay and rename this new png as overlay@2x
Overwrite the overlay@2x who is in the folder (I didn't the overlay for zoom play).
DannyLCFC1
Problem solved thanks @flut
flut
Hi the code for boxes are the other
<!-- background attribute box colours Flut 17 v1 -->
<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" />
If you want to change the values in the boxes is much more difficult to explain you and you will have to change codes in many xml...
skaffaz
You mean if I want to modify colours of the players' attributes?
DannyLCFC1
Can you check something your end for me, everytime i get to the tactis menu before a game if i drag and drop players to swap them the game crashes.
Just wondered if its a bug or something?
Thanks
flut
Hi danny: I don't know if I understood correctly your problem but if I understood it in the right way, it seems it works well in my game.
lozkinjones1
I prefer not to have these numbers if possible
flut
Hi
You just have to delete the following file (located in skin/panels/player), and reload the game: player additional attributes panel

I never post here but just wanted to say your skin is beautiful & makes the game look absolutely fantastic.
It's easily the best skin available & you deserve serious congratulations imo.
Anyway, I'm off to change my Alfreton Town formation again.
Cheers
flut
Hi yams: Thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate it :-) :-)

I admire your works, using your skin since it released and thank you for your efforts.
I have some questions for you,
1- I don`t see my stadium pics in player profile when I select ``profile flut stadium``. I have FMC stadium megapack under graphics folder and uses fine in club overview.
2- I cant make my background to show stadium in player profile
3- I see too many xml files doesn`t belong to any folder under panels, are they backups for different views (such as ``person snapshot club overview4 /5/6``)
Thank you again,
