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.

    Make sure you have the skin in the root skin folder, looks like you have the skin in a version 9 folder. If you have cut and paste it 1 level up, load fm, select the skin, clear all cache and then reload skin

     

    fingers crossed


    I’ve now sorted it & it’s working now. Think my file got corrupted somehow

    @flut Something strange has happen to the trophies in “news” and “social feed”.

     

    Hi

     

    Finally I could took a look on this. I changed to default skin when this happened and is the same. Thus, this is not related to the skin. Cheers

    Good evening everyone. 

    Small message to know if, in the first place, everything is going well with you personally in these difficult times for everyone ?

    Well yes, for me, the term "community" does not just boil down to writing when I have skin problems, or to solve them ...

    I wish you a good weekend and many victories on FM21.

    As you can see in the attached images there is some blue boxes that don't match the skin dark format along with a purple box as seen in attached images. 

     

    Also some grey buttons not in line with the blue format we use in most sections?

     

    Resolution 1920x1080

     

    EDIT found more purple in scouting new search also more blue as attached.

     

    Generally introduction section is most of the issues as seen. also a few random sections with a few updates. I wish i knew where the file was or settings format i would've helped.

    I see this is for the optimal resolution made by flut. 

     

    I think when he reads these comments he will be able to help.

    Personally, I only changed some points to make the display work well enough in a larger resolution and I changed the calendar to be the club's primary and secondary color (like the sidebar).

     

    I'll try to see what I can do with my modest knowledge ...

    Hello.

     If you put your mouse pointer over the left edge, normally it changes to show you that you can "open" the panel.

    Hi Evil

     

    I already changed this panel. Now the pitch is on horizontal as you requested. Regarding the substitutes I only increased the width because I don't knw how to make it works in two columns.

     

    Regarding the purple and grey buttons you showed in your previous post:

    1. Now that grey buttons are also blue (as the others)
    2. The purple in the player search dialog was removed.
    3. The other stuff, namely regarding the induction panels I will not editing them, sorry.

    It’s a standard SI response. they really are quite inept.

    Salutations to all. 

     

    If anyone is interested, I have finally changed the colors of the club vision panels (managed to remove that ugly pink color !!!) helping me with how Priisek did it. 

    Comments have colors ranging from light green to white.

     

    Free to @flut  to choose the colors he wants to put in the original ... 

     

    If you want, I'm still looking for a way to make the writing colors and the bakcground match the club colors?

     

    Best regards.

    Hello.

    In your message you say that you have already put it horizontal. I just saw that mine is still like the image given by Evil. Which panel is it? Because I can be overwritten with an old one when I put my files for my resolution.
