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.

    Kinkladze10:

    For moving the player name open kit icon14.xml and change the value of top inset in this piece of code
    <!-- player number -->
    <widget class="picture" id="bNUM" image_alignment="centre" scale_picture="true">
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="4"/>
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="93"/>
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" />
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="95" />
    </widget>

    Rosek: could you please place a screenshot since I didn’t understand what is the button you are talking about?

    McG84: you don’t have to remove the stars but move the name of the manager for the right place. For that go to club overview panel.xml and change the value of top in the following code

    <widget class="person_snapshot_club_overview_panel" id="mana" file="person snapshot club overview16">
    <translation id="title" translation_id="227981" type="use" value="Manager" />
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="19"/>

    Georgios Pesios and Kinkladze10: you can edit that box (containing the manager in club overview panel) in club overview panel (look at my comment to McG84). You maybe also have to edit the person snapshot club overview16.xml
    For player name in the shirt decrease the value of horizontal inset in that piece of code.

    SolC: Thanks. You can edit it in titlebar.xml (which is inside the generic folder in the panels folder of the skin)

    Jeff's72: You can remove them in the match score area panel.xml, removing the following piece of code

    <container class="main_box_no_margin" width="200" appearance="boxes/custom/match/tv captions/si tv/score/home team/paper" red_replacement="black">
    <layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" alignment="vertical" layout="-1" offset="0" gap="0" />
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" apply_to_children="true" />


    <!--weather-->
    <widget class="weather_indicator_panel" file="weather indicator horizontal1" id="FxWe" >
    <record id="object_property">
    <integer id="get_property" value="FxWe" />

    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" apply_to_children="true" inset="0" />

    <!-- stadium -->

    HI bartdude: you left me without any words. I just have to be recognized by your always kind and stimulating words. I really don't know if I can correspond your expectations this year but I just can promise that if nothing special will happens in my life I will continue trying to improve the skin. Thank you again!!!! And also fot your generous donation and your appeal to donations by other FM Players.

    Hello Flut.

    The Button in question is the one on the "player" screen. On your example it is marked "comparaçao". When I click on it, it displays all the possible positions of the player but does not change the data entered ... On the example with your player, he is MC but can play MDC. Well when I change that on this button, nothing changes ...
    Hoping to have been clear enough.
    Dsl for the capture but I write before going to work

    Hi @flut ,

    I have a provlem on the player view. The logo and the shirt are a bit messy, as you can see. Why this occurs?

    As explained above, you have to go to : skin/fm2021flutskin_dark/panel/generic and select the kit icon 16.

    Open kit icon 16 and delete this :

    <widget class = "picture" id = "pict" scale_picture = "true">
    <boolean id = "keep_aspect_ratio" value = "true" />
    <flags id = " image_alignment "value =" center "/>
    <layout class =" stick_to_sides_attachment "alignement =" top "inset =" - 43 "/>
    <layout class =" stick_to_sides_attachment "alignement =" left "inset =" 128 "/>
    <layout class = "stick_to_sides_attachment" alignement = "vertical" inset = "0" />
    <layout class = "stick_to_sides_attachment" alignement = "all" inset = "105" />
    <record id = "object_property">
    <integer id = "get_property" value = "mnpc" />
    </record>
    </widget>

    same path as before but this time in icon 14 : change the horizontal. For me I put this :

    <widget class = "label" id = "bNAM" size = "11" alignement = "top , centre_y, can_scale "font =" fonts / nom du kit "color =" secondaire ">
    <layout class =" stick_to_sides_attachment "alignement =" top "inset =" 45 "/>
    <layout class =" stick_to_sides_attachment "alignement =" horizontal " inset = "80" />

    HI

    Thanks for helping with the answers 🙂
    Regarding the badges, if you want you can delete it from the folder and...the game will assume the other you want (or the default).

    For number you should edit

    <!-- player number -->
    <widget class="picture" id="bNUM" image_alignment="centre" scale_picture="true">
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="4"/>
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="93"/>
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" />
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="95" />

    first reduce the value 95. After you obtain the size you want, you should also change the values of left and right to adjust the number in the right place.

    Hi @flut, amazing skin. I just can't get this to work correctly, I run a 2560 × 1600 res, and everything is just a little too big. I, like a lot of people, are a massive fan of the kits in the player face section.

    Is there anyway I could use that in a different skin? If so, any idea how? I'm not good at this skinning business!!

    Or if you could help widen some of the panels so some of the things aren't as big of an issue, that would also be amazing!

    McG84: you don’t have to remove the stars but move the name of the manager for the right place. For that go to club overview panel.xml and change the value of top in the following code

    <widget class="person_snapshot_club_overview_panel" id="mana" file="person snapshot club overview16">
    <translation id="title" translation_id="227981" type="use" value="Manager" />
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="19"/>


    I have the same problem as McG84 and perhaps I'm a bit slow but I don't get exactly what it is that I have to change to move the name to a better place.

    Thanks for the help Flut I have everything working perfectly on my resolution now.

    There’s just one last thing on the player face picture

    On my screen all my players faces have an extended box so their background graphic on the face to the left is fine but then there is this horrible grey part with no background. Is there anyway to shorten this or if not can I get the diagonal background to repeat all the way to the right end so it looks like the same on the left of the player?
