FM 2021 FLUT skin dark - Version 16.0

Dear all

This FLUTSKIN version 16 is the final version of FLUTSKIN for FM21!!

A great thank you to all FM fans who choose to play with FLUTSKIN and always keep me motivated to still improving the skin and gave me new ideas!!!

A special thank you to all players who decided to distinguish my work with a donation!! Although just a small part of FM Players who use the skin made a donation (I edited the skin as a hobby and, as you know, completely free), I always feel honoured and happy when people recognize the work done and decide to contribute. So, I reinforce, I have to give a special thank you to that friends of FlutsKin!!!!!!

Also a recognized thank you to those one who help me answering the questions and requests and adapted the FlutSkin (namely and specially Rosek for the help to answering questions and the adapted version for 2560x1440, and Richbell, for the adapted version with hidden attributes!!!!! And, of course I don't forget the skinners community who also indirectly contributed to FlutSkin with their creativity.

Also a special thank you to PATRES10, from fmslovakia for the 2D default kits (especially tailor-made for FlutSkin) anf to Michael Murray since I started editing the match inbetween highlights panel based on his amazing work!!

Now is time to stop editing the skin for this season. I wish to return for FM22. Lets wait and see since no one is able to predict the future.

MAIN CHANGES IN v16.0
- Following the great idea of majesticeternity, Tyburn and a31632 (from Sports Interactive community) I included in several xmls a code for personalize the background in specific panels, namely club overview, player overview, board room, human profile and team training. These codes are not “activated” by default but if you want to have a different (customized) background in each one of that panels you just have to activate the codes. In the read me file I explain how you can do it.
- Nation overall panel
- Nation overview panel
- Human profile panel
- Player profile stadium option in player overview panel
- News panel

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.

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. FC style kits HERE; SS Kits style 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.

If you prefer SS'kits you can download this and replace the kits folder located here:
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins\fm2021flutskin_dark\graphics\pictures\kits
HERE

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

You can also download the stadiums background 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

You can also download the sortitoutsi Backgrounds Megapack HERE

As always FlutSkin is completely free 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:


SOME ADITTIONAL NOTES:

PLEASE NOTE THAT MANY SCREENSHOTS ARE FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THE SKIN

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO MAKE THE GAME MORE DIFFICULT, YOU ALSO CAN DOWNLOAD AN ADAPTED VERSION OF THE SKIN (V. 15) WITH THE ATTRIBUTES VALUES HIDDEN. THIS ADAPTED VERSION WAS AN IDEA OF RICHBELL AND, ALTHOUGH WITH MY HELP, IT WAS RICHBELL WHO ALSO DID THE MAJORITY OF THE CHANGES. THANK YOU MY FRIEND!
Please note that for this version working well (with hidden attributes) you should remove the original version of the skin.


FOR THOSE WHO USE 2560x1440 RESOLUTION YOU ALSO CAN DOWNLOAD THE ADAPTED VERSION (v. 16.0) EDITED BY ROSEK

THE SKIN IS TOTALLY COMPATIBLE WITH 1920x1080 SCREEN RESOLUTION AND 4k (windows display settings 200%; game 100%).
YOU SHOULD USE IT IN FULL WINDOWS, ICONS ONLY


Important note regarding TV LOGOS:
Although the default tv logo is the one I use, of course you can easily change it; for that you just have to go to skin/graphics/icons/tv logos. In that folder there is a alt folder with many TV logos. You just have to replace the tv logo.png and the tv [email protected] for that one you want. Of course you should rename the new logos as tv logo and tv logo@2x. You also can use other logos made by you. The procedure to use them is exactly the same. However, I should remember that yo should use logos with the right height. For tv logo you should use 25px and for the @2x you should use 50px.


Resolution requirements:
This skin was made to work properly in 3840x2160 (4K with windows display settings 200%) and also 1920x1080 (1080p) full screen mode, sidebar icons only. As a result, some panels won’t work properly in other resolutions.

How to add Flut Skin in FM21
Download and extract the .rar file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

Place the "fm2021flutskin_dark" folder here:
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins

  • Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.
  • Start FM21 and go to Preferences screen and then into the Interface tab.
  • You should see FM 2021 Flut Skin dark - Version 16.0 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.

    Yeah I use the one's from here, but in Flut's skin I am not sure what size the cut outs should be. The players picture in Flut skin has their name, position and country flag at the top. The other skin I used had nothing other than the players pic, the size of those images were 250x250

    Ah ok, apologies. It could be change in ID, I had to recode a few as the game has added much longer ids to some players?

    Could be wrong though

    Thanks Flut
    Do you know what lines I need to actually edit to reduce the shirt number font size please and the manager box?

    I know I can edit the text but I’ve no idea which line to change and what number I need to add.

    Thanks


    Hi

    You can reduce the shirt number increasing the value

    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="95" />

    However, after that you should also change the values of top and left in order to adjust the number in the centre of the kit.

    All of the changes should be using trial and error method, since it depends on the screen resolution.

    Hi

    If you move the front kit to the left will be cut. Since I use the FC12 kits as default, in order to have that front kit perfectly adjusted, correctly covering what's behind, I advise using the FC12 pack prepared for Flutskin HERE

    Thanks mate but I'm not quite sure I follow.
    Last season I was using the same kits and your skin and it was perfect, wondering if can maybe move the player name higher on the shirt?
    Which line do I need to edit to do this please

    This is an amazing skin but I’m stuck with the logo player shirt number issue.

    I’ve tried your fix by removing the panels code but it still looks messed up. See below I need to make the shirt number font smaller and the players name needs to appear higher on the shirt maybe the font also needs to be reduced.

    On the Manager screen there is a clash with the age and info

    I’ve tried it both in full screen and windowed with side icons only and without but it doesn’t fix it

    My resolution is 3440 x 1440 on a widescreen monitor and I have tried various zoom levels.

    Last years skin was perfect but here are my issues see links is there anyway to fix this so it looks like your screen please?

    Did you figure out how to move the manager age and name text? I figured out how to resize and move the photo but not the text, still overlapping for me

    @flut Hey mate, I've been going through the thread here trying to fix up a couple of things... I figured out how to fix the kit number but can't figure out how to increase the player name. I tried editing the "kit icon 14" file and change the "bNAM" size but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas? Screenshot attached

    <!--Name of the player: This is hidden on the player stats panel-->
    <!-- the font size reduces one size when the name is bigger than 16 characters -->
    <widget class="label" id="bNAM" size="45" alignment="top, centre_y, can_scale" font="fonts/kit name" colour="secondary" >
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="44" />
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" inset="100"/>
    </widget>

    Still the best and I'm totally confident that the Flutskin won't be beaten. In the past, some have said his skins are "too busy" or "too much information". Complete nonsense, you can never have too much information in Football Manager. Others claim that rival skins are "the best". That's rubbish. Before you download a skin, take a look at the size of the file. A bigger file equals more information and creativity. The Flutskin will be far higher than any rival skin, with the exception of Andromeda, who incidentally is totally inspired by Flut and accepts he's the master. 99% of rival skins are merely pimped versions of the default skin. With v1.0, I'm running at 4K and 150% zoom, so had to fiddle with the numbers to get the player screen shirt name and number right. To those having difficulty with those adjustments, just read what Flut has already published about making such changes. Like many, I'm very much looking forward to how far Flut can take his FM21 skins. Lastly, although you don't have to, if you haven't already made a donation, seriously consider it. He makes the skins in his own time and it involves a considerable amount of work. For sure, we all love a freebie but I believe that unique work should be rewarded.
