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.

Great work again @rosek and @flut , I prefer just pics and no colour on squad screen
when do you think update with TV logos will be released, appreciate you are really busy
thanks so much
Rosek
thank you for the encouraging message.
But unfortunately this week will be very busy for me at work.
I probably couldn't help much.
But I think when the boss updates with the TV logos, the skin will be almost finished.
Except exceptional requests.
Good week and good game.
Leeds1919
Cheers Rosek, appreciate your work
if we can get logos working it nicely adds to the best skin
tommov2
Hi @flut @Rosek
Is the a way to make the highlighted sections smaller in hight so info above is all viewable? just point me in the right direction please will sort changes myself.
Just making the changes after adding tv provider top right.
Great skin
thanks as always
Leeds1919
how did you get the sky logo,i have failed miserably!
tommov2
I just put in everything that rosek had done then changed the values think they were at -1200 and didn’t see the logo so changed to -500 and it showed up think I set mine at -830 also change height from 50 to 25

Hello
Sorry if this has been asked before.
I am Genk in the Belgian league. I have downloaded their kit and on the profile page it shows which is fine. However, when I click on one of their players, the kit doesn't appear it's just like a generic blue kit with the Genk badge, the sponsorship is missing. I was wondering how I can fix this?
I had a look at other leagues and teams in the following countries Greece, Iceland, Cyprus, Croatia and Czech Rep do not have their proper kits on when you click on a players profile.
tommov2
I followed your screen shots so I don’t think your far off main thing change the values so you can see the logo then change them again to get them where you want.

Dear All, please receive my kind apologies for the silly question, i'm new to skins/modding staff.
Previously i placed logos, kits, adboards, and other stuff i had found here in graphics/pictures directory. As i see in Flut's fantastic skin (many thanks mate looking terrific) there are directories for kits (2d and 3d), logos, textures, etc. So if i want to add kits and logos i downloaded earlier - do i have to move them in the respective Flut's skin subdirectories (kits, logos, etc), or the ones that i already have in pictures/graphics directory (not in fm2021flutskin_dark subdirectories) will work fine?
Many thanks in advance!!!
Evil-Muffin7
For anyone wanting the tv logos i posted a small update that worked for me https://sortitoutsi.net/comments/get/621730 until the new update. my post was missed due to the post Flut did afterwards for anyone interested in the logos for now.
Place all your custom images in the non skin folders do not add them to the skin because when or if a new skin update is available it is advised to remove the previous version.

Leeds1919
@Evil-Muffin7 does your file work in 1920 x 1080?
Billy07
Many many thanks!!!
Evil-Muffin7
I only use 1920 x 1080 and i only added a line of code to the single file nothing else edited other than the sky sports logo but feel free to change the logo to what you want
If required feel free to move the logo slightly to the left or lower but where it has been placed for me suits the position on menu.
Leeds1919
Perfect for me, will give it a go-cheers
Billy07
Asked the question, because some slots of the screen were "coming soon@, but when moved backgrounds to skin directory - those slots were occupied with the beautiful images of arenas :-)
flut
Dear all
Considering the fact that many people want to play the skin with the TV logos, I will release a new version today later with that change and with other (just a few) changes.
Thank you again for your support and a special thank you to Rosek and also Evil_Muffin (without your help I really couln’t handling all the questions and requests)
tommov2: thanks. Yes, you can do it. In this new version, go to match touchline tablet panel.xml and in lines 87 and 130 reduce the value 340.
McG84: for display the kits in player overview panel and also in the titlebar, you should use the pack of 2D kits for Flutskin (in the skin presentation I included the links for that)
Billy07: thanks! Regarding your question, as Evil already said, the answer is no. You just need the right packs, including the 2d kits for flutskin (you should download that pack following the links I put in the skin presentation; after download the pack you should place it in the logos folder of the game – not the skin). And…sorry but I don't know what is that image of arenas. In fact, when you don't have the image of the city or the stadium, an image saying “coming soon” is displayed (that images are in the skin folders). However, if you move your packs inside the skin folders, your packs (at least some of them) are read by the game before that folder with "coming soon" image (the game read the folders in alphabetical order). Thus, that image you like, is in one of your packs.
Leeds1919
@flut this is really appreciated, we all know you are busy, the requests show how popular your skin is (and has always been) I can’t imagine playing without it.
thank you.
McG84
Flut you're the man, what a legend 👏👏👏
Billy07
Guys, you are all fantastic! Making such beautiful skins, answering to boring questions :-) God Bless You :-)
McG84
Latest update looks great :-)
DazS8
Brilliant as ever my friend…great addition the tv logos
Rosek
Good evening everyone. As you may have seen, flut has updated the skin version to 1920x1080 resolution.
As soon as I have availability, I update the skin to the 2560x1440 version.
Have a nice week, everyone.
bartdude
Great update, as always my friend !
matg56
Big thanks ! Excellent work
Doddo04
Thanks my friend for the absolutly best skin!!!
Oz K.
Thanks for the new update.
Joyboy
Hi guys, could anyone tell me why my stadium pics on the info screen keep flicking every 30 seconds from the stadium to a coming soon image? 🙂
Joyboy
Oh btw I should add that the city pictures seem to be working fine.

Hey @FLUT,
Noticed something a bit strange.
My team always uses the last oppositions teams kit, hence my 2D and 3D kits sometimes do not display properly. Not 100% sure why this is happening tbh just thought I would mention.
My last opponent was Burnley.
Leeds1919
Have definitely got a liverpool kit in your graphics/pictures?
