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.

Hi Flut. Thanks for your skin, it's the better for me and it's the only i use in FM17.

I installed the last version of the skin and i have a small problem, when i am in a player profil : behind the player face, i have the player picture but i would have the stadium picture like you have in your skin's screens.
Profile flut stadium is quoted but it's the same :/

I also installed the 2D kits and the the Backgrounds Superpack.

Thanks for your help and sorry for my english, i am a french player

In the backgrounds Superpack, try to find the folder named "players" and change the name for zzplayers, clean the cache and reload the game. Please let me know if it worked.

Hi
Sorry but I didn't understand the first question. You want to change the design of CFM scoreboard?
Regarding the 2nd question I will not create the liganos scoreboard ( I did it for myself a few weeks ago but I didn't like the final result...thus, I quit).

Brilliant skin using it all the time.
One thing that I seem to have, is that the city pic is placed over the shirt in the player detail

Any idea what is happening there?

Thanks mate. It works with a but I can't explain.

So if I create a folder Indonesia and create a XML file by copying the one from Malaysia, add the shirts, clear cache and reload the skin and so on, it does not show up.
If I then copy the kits to the Malaysia folder and add the lines for my team, they show up.
Weird

Well.... it works

Still far and away the best skin for FM. I only wish some people would learn the elements of skin editing so they wouldn't need to ask you so many dumbass questions. I'm no skin maker but I taught myself how to edit or correct any cock ups I made and do the basic stuff,it ain't rocket science folks !!

@flut

I've downloaded your skin and it looks great, but I tried to go back base17dark skin that I had in before I put your one in.

And it crashed on when I looked at club facilities page, then tried original football manager skin and did same as the base17dark skin.

But your one still works okay.

Just in case I do decide to go back to original skin or base17dark skin, is there anything I need to do to get those skins working again?.

DO NOT READ POST, I HAD BLONDE MOMENT!, I SOLVED IT MYSELF BY RESETTING BACK TO THE DEFAULT SETTING

Hi

Regarding the first and the third problem I don't know what is happens since you use the adequate resolution for the skin (but you shouldn't use any zoom and not play in windowed mode). Everything should be displayed in the right way.
The 2nd is not a problem. When all the information does not fit in the box, it is necessary to use the scroll (this is true for all the skins, including the default skin).
