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.

I really don't know what happens since those problems never appeared. Try to clean the cache, exit the game and reload it.

Hi

I don't use Mac. However, If you did all as usually the skin should appear. Plaese look carefull if when you extracted the skin folder don't have another folder inside it with the name of the skin. If is the case you should put the skin folder (that folder) directly in the skins folder of the game.

Hi

I think that 2.8 updated will be the last SkinFlut for this season (FM17). I did some small changes in my own skin but that changes don't justify a new version...

Hi: I didn't intend to release a new version. However, since I noticed that, after all, there is some changes that people can like it, I will release today a final version of FlutSkin. Of course if you could do the scoreboard for Liga Nos (or the league match intro) I really appreciate

Hi vonreichsm:

1. For match post match panel go to panels/tactics/tactics icon info panel overview7 and in the following line increase a little bit the value 27

<layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" layout="27, 9, 22" offset="0" gap="0"/>

2- For match pre match do the same but in tactics icon info panel overview6 (increase the value 44)
3. The same for club last eleven in the file tactics icon info panel overview1 (increase the value 50)

btw what is the resolution you use?

cheers

Hi vonreichsm: I can imagine taht, because some xml control various panels. However I did a list for you. With this list you can know what each one of the "tactics icon info panel overview" are responsible for and try to adjust (an alternative is create new xmls "tactics icon info panel overview" in order to have each one controlling only one picture, because in that way you can guarantee that the changes you will make only affect one panel).

Here is the list

tactics icon info panel overview1 – responsible for
club overview panel (the last eleven box)
tactics icon info panel overview2 – responsible for
match overview (you can find the code pointing to tactics icon info panel overview2 in match formation panel9)
match preview (you can find the code pointing to tactics icon info panel overview2 in team report pre match panel2)
tactics icon info panel overview4 – responsible for
post match analysis news panel
pre match opponent analysis news panel

tactics icon info panel overview5 – responsible for
pre season report team preview panel
tactics icon info panel overview6 – responsible for
inbox content with team report panel
match pre-match panel (you can find the code pointing to tactics icon info panel overview6 in match preview lineups panel3)
tactics icon info panel overview7 – responsible for
match post match panel (you can find the code pointing to tactics icon info panel overview7 in match formation panel8)
tactics icon info panel overview8 – responsible for
match overview (you can find the code pointing to tactics icon info panel overview8 in match formation panel10)

Hi everyone: I did a "new" intro match. Now the flut default introduction starts automatically. I believe is a good addon. Thus, I decided to share this "new" tweak. Put the files in respective folders. Cheers.

Hi
If you want to reduce the picture in all of the options You should edit the xmls named player profile details (from 1 to 8 and also player profile details df11 and scope.xml) located in panels/custom.
Increase the value of vertical inset (that one I highlighted in green) and, after that you should align the picture changing the values I highlighted in red in the following example:

This is the example for player profile details1.xml

<widget class="picture" id="prop" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" image_alignment="centre_x">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="4"/>
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="0"/>
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="15" />
<record id="object_property">
<list id="get_properties">
<!--Facegen data request-->
<record get_property="fcgn" />
<!--Fake name request-->
<record get_property="Pfke" />
<record get_property="prpc" set_property="valu" />
</list>
</record>
</widget>
