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.

    I believe your computer is not able to do that.
    You can try other solution. Remove the information regarding the fixture, stadium, city and date. For that, remove the following piece of code

    <container width="251">
    <layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" layout="-1,-1,-1,-1" offset="0" gap="0" />
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" apply_to_children="true" inset="0" />

    <!--fixture name-->
    <widget class="fixture_name_text" id="Name" style="bold" alignment="centre,can_scale" colour="text" size="9">
    <record id="object_property">

    Thanks. Finally, I just play with the zoom in settings and take it to 85%. And it works. (sorry for my poor english).
    Have a good day.
    <integer id="get_property" value="FxNm" />
    </record>
    </widget>

    <!-- stadium -->
    <widget class="client_object_label" id="namV" style="bold" alignment="centre,can_scale" colour="text" size="9">
    <record id="object_property">
    <integer id="get_property" value="stad" />
    </record>
    </widget>


    <!-- city -->
    <widget class="city_label" id="namL" alignment="centre;can_scale" colour="text" size="9">
    <record id="object_property">
    <integer id="get_property" value="SctI" />
    </record>
    </widget>



    <!--date-->
    <widget class="date_cell" id="date" alignment="centre,can_scale" auto_size="vertical" size="9" colour="text">
    <translation id="format" translation_id="447557" type="use" value="[%date#1-time] kick off on [%date#1-short][COMMENT: string to show the kick off time and date of a fixture]" />
    <record id="object_property">
    <integer id="get_property" value="fxdt" />
    </record>
    </widget>


    </container>


    Thanks. I just take the zoom to 85% in settings and it workds. (sorry for my poor english). Have a good day.

    Hello mate, congratulations on the beautiful Skin..I have been playing with the Flut Skin for many years now!
    I wanted to ask you if it is possible, in the tactics panel, to display for example with Juventus..the front front of the first jersey.
    Thanks .. a warm greeting

    https://i.postimg.cc/9DsTkGpR/Screenshot-5.png


    Well...is possible but doesn't work well. I tried a lot....If we use the 2dkits for flutskin, in the clubs without that kits the kits will not be displayed; if we use the front default, the kits of the players on loan will be from the original club...thus I decided to not include that stuff. Additionally, when minimised the kits doesn't will be displayed on the pitch.....Sorry.

    Hi

    Sorry but I can't help you, since everything works well in my game. Try to clear the cache, keep this skin only in the skins folder of the game and reload the game....

    Hi mate - wonderful job on the skin and helping out people.

    2 questions:

    Background image is ronaldo and uefa logo everywhere - I would like to change that to some other image (darker and maybe fewer patterns to increase readability of main pages - inbox news etc)
    When checking a club below the map shows the city name however it shows the same Cristiano Ronaldo uefa picture like the main background.

    how can I change these?

    Hi

    That background with Ronaldo is the background for UEFA. But you can easily delete that backgrounds removing the folder continent in Documentos\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2020\skins\fm2020flutskin_dark\graphics\pictures\logos\normal\confederations

    Regarding the citypic, if you don't have the citypic for that club other background picture will be displayed. You should download the citypics pack.

    Hi Flut,

    Thank you so much for the awesome skin. I'm using it and really enjoy it. Just have a few issue
    - Can I change disable the sidebar color? The alternative only disables it in player/tactic/etc... view. In the Club Overview, the color is nice on some clubs, but MU has a red color which is not really comfortable.
    - I tried to use the Player Overview without background box but it still appears. I use the full player pictures, therefore they don't work well together:
    https://i.ibb.co/4fTQk3B/player.png
    - I could not find the alternative for attributes without background box (for all view: Manager/Coach/Players/Training etc...). Could you please help with that?
    - Last thing, try to follow the 2D kits. Step 2->4 works well but for step1 I'm not sure if it works since I don't understand how can it find an 'empty' string and replace by club. For the other steps, I checked the config.xml find and could see they changed all the strings, for example:
    <record from="manutd_1" to="graphics/pictures/team/680/logo/background/left"/>
    <record from="manutd_2" to="graphics/pictures/team/680/"/>
    <record from="manutd_3" to="graphics/pictures/team/680/"/>

    Thanks again for the great skin.

    Hi Aly

    Hi
    Thanks.
    Regarding your questions
    1. In fact the alt xmls are only for the player overview panel and for the player popup
    However, if you want to do the same in player profile, go to player profile.xml and change

    file="player/player attributes panel3box"

    for
    file="player attributes panel3"
    For other panels (training etc) it will be a little bit harder to explain since you have to change several xmls and I don’t remember all of them. I just remember now two other xmls: player attributes training panel.xml and player training attribute changes. The easy way is to delete that two xmls and reload the game (the game will load the default xmls without boxes).

    2. Regarding the 2Dkits, my bad...I forgot to include a substep in step 1. But you did everything correct. Now you only replace "team" for "club".
    I already replaced the incomplete tutorial by the complete tutorial. Sorry.


    3. Regarding the sidebar, try the following. Open 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/custom/interface/sidebar/paper" red_replacement="[the colour you want]" blue_replacement="black">

    4. Concerning the background I believe is related to your graphics structure. I believe you have the stadiums background to be read before the players background. If those folders are in the same folder, try to change the name of the stadiums background for a name starting by a letter that are alphabetically after the first letter of the name of the folder that contains the player backgounds.

    That’s it

    And thank you DAZS8 for always are there to helping me in the answers made by FM players!!

    Hi Flut,

    Thanks for the detailed answers. I did try remove the player background folder, but it still doesn't show up:
    https://i.ibb.co/zfxGynq/player.png
    You can see the background is changed to a stadium now.

    I'm using the Google Street Image background pack. Do I need to use a specific stadium pack to make it show in player profile?
    I'm seeing that DazS8 also have a Flut Skin Stadiums Pack in his signature

    @DazS8: looks like you are using Flut with the Google Street Images Pack. Could you please share your setup?

    Finally It works well for me (by using the City & Stadium pack from DazS8). I also be able to change the atrribute in Player Overview/Profile to no box.
    One more question, how can I change the color of the atrribute? For example, high value (>=15) have red color?

    Thanks again, both Flut & DazS8

    Hi

    you can change the colours in the settings.xml in the following code

    <!-- profile attribute colours -->
    <colour name="low attribute" red="247" green="121" blue="121"/>
    <colour name="normal attribute" red="245" green="245" blue="85"/>
    <colour name="good attribute" red="159" green="220" blue="122" />
    <colour name="excellent attribute" red="83" green="249" blue="83" />

    don't forget to reload the game (and untick the check box in the preferences of the game: “use caching to decrease page loading times” )

    The inside and the outside stadiums can also be referred to as small and big stadiums. They have different configs.

    The inside stadiums (small) : <record from="xxxx" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/xxxx/stadium"/>

    This part is covered by the pack you are using : https://sortitoutsi.net/downloads/view/45950/fmt-stadium-superpack

    The outside stadiums (large): <record from="xxxx" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/xxxx/background"/>

    You need a pack that covers that.

    At the current time we don't have a pack on our site, so try looking here : https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm20-stadiums-megapack-flut.html#c47975

    We have a background pack at our site : https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/backgrounds

    But at the moment is not working properly so I would not recommend using it with flut skin. Hopefully It will be upgraded/changed/fixed in the near future.


    Hi I'm having a similar problem but the other way around. I have the stadium picture but no city picture just the empty box and my stadium pic alternates every minute or so an empty box also. I have downloaded both Stadium packs and the city pictures pack mentioned in this thread. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Those memories of CM when it came on floppy disc and you had to buy separate versions in order to play different country club levels.

    only a problem... but it happens also with "regular" skin
    Example: Pordenone this year is playing for Serie B at Dacia Arena... and not Bottecchia... (but in the skin it appears as Bottecchia)
    if you check the matches... it's Dacia
