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.

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:

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.

No doubt a lot of ppl will be kicking off about this, so perhaps they can release a minor update to make the game playable with a 3rd party skin. I bet people who work for SI will use Flut Skin as opposed to the original skin.
McG84
Flut skin is brilliant, just annoying that SI update has interfered and the lagging is off the scale.
Bielsa is a Legend
i am not seeing any delay using Flut skin
running 150,000 players in 12 active countries
i can see the gameplay improvements particularly keepers ability to command area
McG84
Wish I could say the same as you. In preferences do you have any settings that enable the game to run better or make the lagging bearable?
My game worked a treat yesterday until the update so the skin is fine. I know from previous messages a few other players are experiencing problems with the lagging.
I could try and go back to the default skin but my preference is to play the game in this skin as it's far superior and the attention to detail is top notch.
Are you playing on a PC or Laptop?
Bielsa is a Legend
i cant play without Flut skin, only Priisek comes close in my opinion
maybe verify the game files in steam?

Same to me. PC with i7 10700 and 16 Go RAM, very slow since update. If i choose another skin it's fast, but with Flut 2.1 it's very slow
robinsonik
Same for me. Both Flut and Andromeda skin.
kfnielsen
Can't understand why flut suddenly was so slow
McG84
Anyone who's game has been running slow since the update last night got any hints on how to make the game run a bit faster?
Anyone amended any settings in preferences that they feel makes the game run smoother?
Well I've finished up work for the Xmas holidays and there's a high chance of another full lockdown soon so I'll have plenty time to play the game lagging or not lagging 😂

I truly believe the issue is in their end and not to be blamed on your excellent skin. I've posted on the Steam forums as a reply to the latest patch and urge others to do the same to show SI how many players are suffering from this problem. That should (hopefully) force them to take notice and work on some sort of patch soon.
anthony tierney
Hi all: only now I could look at your comments and the reported problem. I also quickly load my game and is also slow. I don't know why but as soon as possible I will try to do something. I don't know if I will be able to manage that problem but I believe bartdude is right. So, I promise to analyse and try to solve or, at least, attenuate that problem. Is a shame. SI every years "kill" the skins edited by FM fans!! Sorry for that problems but I really unexpected them. 😢
Hey mate just to let you know the creator of andromeda skin managed to fix the lag issue on his skin, I’m not 100 percent sure but I think it can be fixed by doing something with tabs and buttons folder in the graphics folder of the skin. I hope that can be of any use to you mate.

And like a lot of others, I have gameplay latency. But it's not catastrophic either and let's trust the boss to quickly solve the problem.
PS : RESOLVED !!!

Yeah you're right I just posted on their forum and it appears others have too. You would like to think SI would have tested the update on various skins, as it's pretty obvious most users play in different skins to make sure the game runs smoothly. Or maybe that's wishful thinking on my part!

I did what u wrote above and it works
Much faster now
bartdude
No idea where you got the information regarding a fix for the Andromeda skin. As far as I'm aware Rick is still working on it and no doubt will share any info with Flut.

bartdude
I follow his Facebook page regularly and there's nothing there to say it's fixed, as far as I can see.
anthony tierney
I don’t know mate all I know is about 11 30pm uk time last night I checked the page and I noticed he had replaced the 1.1 version of his skin with a 1.2 version I downloaded that one and the lag problem caused by the football manager update had been fixed. I know about a hour before he had removed the link while he fixed the lag problem. That’s why I was constantly checking waiting for a new link.
bartdude
Well, I guess he wasn't happy with it because he's pulled the link to the skin permanently now, until fixed.
