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.

Is there a way to use this skin without showing the hidden attributes? I really liked the skin but that feels like cheating to me

Hi: yes. You just have to delete the file player additional attributes panel.xml and reload the skin.

Hi
The best eleven of the week is big, as in the other versions. That panel you did a screenshot is for the best eleven of the club and is only showed i the final of the season. Thus only when in my game I arrive to the final of the season I can take a lokk in order to know what is the xml responsible for it....sorry.

Hey! The "Actions..." button is always white, how can I change it so it shows as the inverted colour of the away team? If that's not possible, how can I change its colour, style and size?

Hi

You can edit the appearance of that button in the following code (located in match titlebar.xml):

<container class="menu_strip" id="tree" appearance="" offset="0" gap="0" inset="0" default_widget_type="section_button" submenu_type="section_popup_button" separator_type="picture">
<record id="default_widget_properties"/>
<record id="submenu_properties" fixed="true" allow_hover_to_open="true" mouse_hovering_time="30">
<event id="click_notification_event" event_id="DMCN" item="NULL"/>
<event id="menu_layout_notification_event" event_id="MLNO"/>
</record>
<record id="separator_properties" file="dividers/standard/vertical/line" auto_size="horizontal" height="52"/>
<record id="more_button_properties"/>
</container>

Change the code appearance="" by a path for a button you want (e.g., appearance="boxes/bordered/standard/paper100"

Hi,

On the global view of the club, can I do something to keep the picture of the stadium ? Because 10 seconds after, the picture changes and become this :

Hi
This happens because you haven't the stadium overview picture. This panel displays two different pictures of the stadium (alternating between them). If you download the Backgrounds Superpack (the link is in the skin post) those stadium pictures will be displayed.

Thanks for your answer.

I downloaded the file. Now, I have a "DS8 Backgrounds Megapack" file and I have no idea where should I put it.

I read the pdf with the skin but i didn't understand well.

Could someone tell me what xml to change and what figures to change things to (If Jubez is reading ) ? I also prefer the 125% zoom as I find the text too small otherwise
Thanks for any help

Can't really remember what I changed back then. I'm using a different skin at the moment and haven't been playing a lot lately.

Hi vonreichsm: Thanks.
Regarding your question: I use the "can_scale" code in order to all words of the competition could be displayed. When the name of the competition is very long the letters in the words have to "scale" in order to be displyaed without cut. That's why, sometimes, in that cases, the word is hard to read. However, when compared with the incomplete name (cut due is very long) a really prefer to have all the name displayed.
