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

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.

Any posibility to have in the new version of 2021 "player overview alt - flutskin18"...???
Thank you flut....

You should play in 1920x1080, icons only, full window. In my game all the continue butons work well.
Andrea: Rearding the colours of the continue button, go Football Manager 2021\skins\fm2021flutskin_dark\graphics\chrome\buttons\continue\button.xml
And change
<colour id="red_replacement" name="primary"/>
<colour id="green_replacement" name="text"/>
<colour id="blue_replacement" name="black"/>
By
<colour id="red_replacement" name="grey"/>
<colour id="green_replacement" name="text"/>
<colour id="blue_replacement" name="black"/>
Charlston and McG84: Thanks!!
Makboss: I really don't know. But for now I'm not working on alts since the skin need to be improved. Only and if I consider the skin "finished" I can start working on alts. Sorry.

Thanks for bringing out an updated version, greatly appreciated.
I just had a question is there anyway I can sort out the manager panel on the club overview screen? The date of birth is under the managers name so just wondered if this can be moved or taken out at all?
I have attached a screenshot with the problem circled 🙂
Many thanks
Andrew

Hi
Is weird that bug if you are using 1920x1080 full window, icons only
However, you can adjust the name in the following piece of code in person snapshot club overview16.xml
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="101"/>

@flut, is it possible to reduce the dimension of continue button in talk page? Thanks...
McG84
When you go onto the tactics screen and look at your players roles, I was wondering if there's anyway of making the important attributes area viewable in full size without having to scroll to see the attributes at the bottom.
Underneath is the player traits box which is fairly big and seldom do you get anymore than 3 traits per player, so that could potentially be space that could be used to enlarge the important attributes box.

McG84: thanks. In fact I didn't start changing that panel (for now is default of SI) but I already thought that that "thing" is for hange. Thus if I will not forget I will increase the height of that panel in order to all the attributes can be displayed withou scrolling.
jassar: sory but I didn't understand what are you talking about. That panel is the default panel of the game, I didn'tchange anything in the IBH panels...

It will be until something happens, playing as Ipswich it will take a while

Small message to say that at home everything is working well and thanks to your tutorial, I even managed to add the national team jerseys.
But my post follows our conversation about the compare button not working, I got an idea. If this button was linked to the button that we activate in the player "reports/overwiew", it should probably work and thus avoid switching between player pages.

Was wondering if anyone knows how to amend the kit in the attachment. It's the wrong kit, the correct kit is in place for this team in the club profile but it just appears incorrect in the search bar.
bartdude
Check out the instructions in the "2D as left logo" information. You need to place your current correct kit into that logo pack and it will show up.
McG84
Excellent got it fixed, thanks for the info 👍

Just to make people aware the new update has impacted with Flut's Skin. If you look at my attachment it has the players bio listed 3 times. I've not yet played much of my new save with the new update but that was the first thing I clocked. No doubt there might be other discrepancies that other players might pick up.
anthony tierney
its caused it to freeze and lag really bad also mate.
McG84
Yeah you're right, just played a few weeks there in a new save and it's lagging big time. I think anyone with a different skin to the standard one will have issues. Hopefully it's an easy fix. With Flut latest update my game was running perfect.
DJSirMatthew
I'm sure it will be temporarily and have full confidence Flut will be able to fix it. Would hate going back to the original skin.
I'll try reload and cache again to see if it helps. -> nope, didn't help

Si do the same thing every year!!! im sure its a way for them to promote their very boring and not very immersive skin. flutskin is one of the things that make football manager great for me.
McG84
Just out of curiosity, this is the first time that I have used Flut skin (no idea why I haven't used it before) did this happen last year too with updates in the game?
bartdude
McG84
The difference between Flut skin and the original is night and day. Flut Skin makes you want to play the game, the original skin is basic to say the least in comparison.
I note that you said SI do the same every year, so I am guessing there is a fix around the lagging, just a case of Flut working his magic 👍
