FM 2020 FLUT skin dark - Version 2.2

Skin for FM 2020 regular career mode and widescreen (1920x1080).

This is the FLUT Skin ("dark" version) for FM20. As usual, the Flut skin is completely full of changes when you compare with the default skin.

For many years I keep trying to edit a skin who can help FM Fans to better enjoy our game.
With the direct or indirect help of many FM players and FM skinners (thank you all) I created many stuff (such as the citypics, the rotating images of stadiums in club overview panel or the back and front kits displayed in player overview panel, just to mention some of the ones I consider most relevant).

Therefore, now, in FLUT Skin you can find the instant result option, the background/opacity selector, compatibility of player picture (in player overview panel) with DF11 and Scope facepacks styles, the animated intro match, front and back kits displaying in player overview panel, compatibilty with citypics and much…much more!!!

And now you can personalize FlutSkin more than ever!!
I included 14 alt folders in this pack. You just need to read the read me file in order to know how you can use them:
1. Alt. for sidebar - alt FM20 FlutSkin sidebar matching club colour (works only with the no hidden sidebar)
This folder is for those who want to use a coloured sidebar according each club colour.
2. Seven alts. for club overview panel - club overview alt1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7
Seven different layout for the club overview panel
3. Alt. for player overview panel layout - player overview alt - flutskin 18
Files for return to the player overview layout I used in FlusSkin 1.8
4. Alt for attributes panel - alt for player overview without background boxes as default and for player profile and player popup without background boxes
Contain files for those who prefer playing with player attributes panel without background boxes
5. Alt for player overview panel without CA and PA values
6. Skin without background pictures
An alt client object browser.xml file for those who prefer playing the game with a solid background instead of pictures backgrounds (stadiums, cities, players, etc)
7. Alts for No Hidden Sidebar (the default sidebar) - for light and dark skin
8. Alt for playing with the tactics panel as in the 2.1 version (only displaying the back kit)


The Skin pack also includes:
1. “Round country flags”, “round continents logos” and default logos specially made in metallic style by @Qvordrup from sourtitoutsi. Those graphics will be displayed in the title bar.
2. Background maps for confederations, also made by @Qvordrup . Thank you @Qvordrup by your great work and for your collaboration!!!

You can download the 2D packs prepared for Flutskin (titlebar and player overview panel) here in sourtitoutsi. HERE
However, if you prefer edit your own kits, I also included in the pack a .pdf file explaining how you can edit the kits for Flutskin.

The logos in country locators are now updated by @Qvordrup according the last version of metallic logos.

You also can download the stadiums megapack and the citypics released by @DazS8 (thank you, my friend) HERE and HERE

And @geordie1981 has made a pack for inside "small" stadiums HERE

As always FlutSkin is completely free[/b] to download and I hope you enjoy it. However, if you want, you can reward my work donating whatever amount you wish. Any small amount is really appreciated.

You can do so by clicking the button down below:



Main changes in 2.2 version
- Tactics overview panel (front kits included; position colours changed)
- Instant result in match included
- Text font
- Hidden sidebar
- New alts.
- Tweaks here and there

Once again I would like to thank you to all FM Fans who support my work and also to all skin makers. A special thank you to PATRES10 from fmslovakia for the 2D default kits (especially tailor-made for FlutSkin).

Resolution requirements:
This skin was made to work properly in 1920x1080 (1080p) full screen mode, sidebar icons only. As a result, some panels won’t work properly in other resolutions (and also in 1920x1080 windowed mode).

How to add Flut Skin in FM20
Download and extract the .rar file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

Place the "fm2020flutskin_dark" folder here:
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2020\skins


  • Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.
  • Start FM20 and go to Preferences screen and then into the Interface tab.
  • You should see FM 2020 Flut Skin dark - Version 2.2 as an option in the skin drop down of the Overview box.
  • 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,
    thank you so much for your update. You fixed the development tab partially.
    Attached you can see, that you don't see the attribute names or the exact numbers.

    Hi
    Thanks for reporting. Use this file (put it in the players folder of the skin and overwrite the original one)

    Hi

    Thanks! Regarding your questions:
    1. go to player attributes panel3box.xml (and, if you want you also can change the player attributes panel4box and player attributtes panel5box) anch find colour="black". Change it for colour="white"

    2. go to sidebar menu table.xml and change

    <container class="main_box" id="colm" appearance="boxes/custom/interface/sidebar/paper" red_replacement="dark accent" blue_replacement="black">

    for

    <container class="main_box" id="colm" appearance="boxes/bordered/standard/paper206" red_replacement="dark accent" blue_replacement="dark accent">

    Hi tonitche: thanks for answered spanishYN, and thanks, spanishYN, for your words

    gaetan: if you use 4k, you can play with the skin perfectly. I also use 4k now and the game in 200% zoom goes like a charm.


    Hi Flut, first thank a lot for your hard work and your great skin.

    Everything works really well for me except i got same problem for the stadium picture. Like what spanishYN said in his post, if we go to the stadium profile. Its always show 1 empty background and 1 stadium. I try download 2 stadium megapack, 1 FMT and 1 megapack which tonitche said, but its still the same problem. Maybe u can explain how to fix this stadium things ? Thanks

    Hi BombaLegend:

    You are able to do it, of course.
    1. download the Notepad++ and install it
    2. analyse your packs of background stadiums: open the config of that folders and look if you have codes similar to the following
    (with the ID of the club)
    <record from="2082082528" to="graphics/pictures/team/2082082528/background"/>
    (with ID of the stadium)
    <record from="98040206" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/98040206/stadium"/>
    . (with Id of the stadium)
    <record from="98040206" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/98040206/background"/>

    3. If you notice that there is one type of config missing (for instance that one using the stadium ID and stadium) you should duplicate the folder that contains that config with the stadiums ID
    4. open the new folder and open the config with notepad++
    5. go to menu search and choose the submenu replace
    6. in the popup window in "find what?", write: /background
    7. in "replace with" write /stadium
    8. Choose "replace all"
    9. Save the config
    10. that's it

    Luckily I am. Or having any lag issues and I run on top graphics setting during 3D matches.

    Try deleting the skin and download it again from fresh. Then once you’ve put it in the relevant folder/file. Try clearing skin cache and refreshing the skin whilst in FM20.

    Fingers crossed it helps

    @flut - If I select 'Profile Flut Stadium' option on the player profile screen, the stadium image does not show, but instead the player background image shows.
    I have all the stadium megapacks and these are working fine on all other screens.

    I've attached a pic for example.

    If you use my player backgrounds this option on the flut skin is not useable.

    @flut - I've downloaded and loaded up the 1.6 version - You say that the 2d kits file is not needed now, but for teams where I have not got a 2d kits file then on the profile screen the front and back kits are not showing properly for me - I can see them, but they are partly covered by a stadium picture.
    For teams where I do have a 2d kits file, then this issue is not happening.

    Ok - so I need to go in and edit the config file within the stadiums pack and delete any lines of code that refer to 'background logos left'?

    That's going to take a very long time as there are thousands of stadiums!

    Hi Flintrosia: you can change the default opacity for 80% but you have to edit the xmls responsible for that.

    Hi stakel: firs of all you should try to find what is the graphic folder that are responsible for that stadiums that are displayed in the player overview. You can do it removing one folder and reload the game and after taht remove other folder and so on ...when the picture will no be displyaed, that folder is the folder where are the stadiums that you don't want. You just have to remove that folder and all will work okay.

    It's the 'teams' folder within the Google Maps Background Megapack that is causing the issue. I don't want to get rid of this folder as I want the stadium pictures - so, I guess the only way is to go through the config file and manually delete the lines of code with the 'logo/background/left' in it.

    Hi!

    You can actually do a mass edit instead of having to manually change each entry in Notepad by using the Find and Replace with... option where you write the exact line of text you wish to find in the file and change into the first box and then enter the replacement text into the other text box.

    If you wish to remove certain line(s) of text and not replace it/them with anything, all you have to do is leave the second text box (replace with) empty.

    There should be no harm (game crashes etc.) in mass editing the lines you mentioned so that the various stadium IDs/picture names remain in the config.xml but the part 'logo/background/left' is removed. It should simply cause those particular lines to not work, so the game reads the lines and cannot read and apply the unfinished lines, so it should just ignore them and, therefore, not load the 'logo/background/left' pictures that you want to get rid of.

    It's worth a try before going through the whole ordeal of manually finding and deleting each line that mentions the 'logo/background/left' in the config.xml. Just remember to make a backup of the config file before testing the solution I suggested, just in case you need to do the editing the other way.

    Hope that helps!

    Hi

    If you think the problem is caused by other kind of logo graphics, try to remove the logos folders one by one and reload the game after each removal. You can find where is the logos that causes that problem.

    Hi Flut,

    Amazing skin, just as good as 2019's. Absolutely love it.

    One question - Is there a way to make the stadium team background pic (mini of squad pic) the main background pic on the team info screens rather than the City pic?

    Thanks,
    Yams.
