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.

    Hi
    Thanks for reporting.
    I already fixed it.
    Regarding the japanese clubs, I will include it in the next release (I don't know if in the "regular" pack or as an alt).

    I love to use this skin!

    I have one minor wish for future updates: On the player profile where the kit with number is shown the shirt number of the player is displayed way too big. Any way to change the size of the displayed number ?

    Thanks.

    Well you need to download it again. The files are there. For some reason you haven't got the full file. Download with chrome so you can resume any interruptions in the download and get the full file.

    You can reduce the size of the skin download a bit by deleting the double kits here that servers no purposes:

    fm2021flutskin_dark\graphics\pictures\kits\2d\outfield\back\zoomed\small\plain

    and here:

    Hello again FLUT - I presume since you just did the "match mid match review panel" in V 5.0 that there will be a "match full time review panel" in the next update?.......oh wait, I see there is a "match full time review panel1" panel in there.......do we just rename that to"match full time review panel"....I guess I'll give it a try and I'll find out.....thanks again

    Hi @flut

    Thank you for the great skin again for this year.

    I have a problem where the name & number on the player shirt are too big, they show up in end of season summary / commercial summary. But they fit OK in the player profile page.

    Any suggestion how to fix this?

    Once again thank you

    I figured out it is because of my resolution. My Monitor is designed for a resolution of 2560x1440. 4K is not supported. with Full HD the numbers are displayed correctly but it looks like shit.... So

    @flut

    Can you help me find a solution for making it work on 2560x1440 resolution?

    Thank you !

    Good evening. This is also the resolution I use.
    I can send my files for this resolution.
    Unfortunately, directly from the site, the file is too big and I cannot send it to you directly. I tried but error 413 appears ...
    And I do not know how to make mediafire link.

    so if someone could guide me, I'm a taker ...

    I recently mentioned that an indication to the quality and creativity of a skin is in the size of the download file. A skin just released has a file size of 3.06mb. The Flutskin 5.0 is 128.7mb. I rest my case.

    You need to "pack" your files in to one with winrar winrar (just right click on the "top" folder and add to new archive), then upload the "packed" file to mediafire mediafire here

    Agree, for several years it has been my go to skin, can’t even start the game until released.

    @Rosek
    Thank you very much! It works. I have to ask for one more favor. In your file the Skin has club colour matched menubars. I want it to be black as it is on default. I tried to just exchange the folders from club colour bars to default bars. It works but then again the numbers are displayed wrong so it seems you changed also the files for the menu bars.

    Do you have any solution for it ?

    Thanks in advance 🙂

    Sorry but I didn't change anything else ... I got help from the boss and read some of the requests and made sure it looks like something in 2560x1440.
    Take a capture and circle what you want. If I couldn't help, without the boss could ;-)
