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.

    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.

    Hi

    Here are the files.

    Place the player availability with pitch news content panel.xml in the news item panels folder and the other one in the team folder of the skin.

    Thank you very much for these files.

    I just have a small remark, would it not be possible to add the faces and the kits as on the panel of the report on the opposing team ?

    Thanks 🙂

    However I tried another one. This is not so “sophisticated” (since there is no animation) but maintain the possibility to choose the players (thus is closest to the original). 

    Thus you can choose that one you prefer

    I tried the second one. 

    He is less good for me.

    Personally I find that the previous one is better.

    Yes. Regarding the graphics is much more interesting. However the option to choose different players for each position is missing...

    Indeed, it is not possible to change player.

    And if we use the right mouse button to remove the player, the name remains in the unaffected position if we move the mouse over the jersey ...

    Another try. Now we can choose different players as in the default.

    Place the tactics icon preview info panel25.xml in the tactics folder of the skin (don't forget to reload the game)

    I believe this is the best option.

    @flut sorry but i have another question. 

     

    I made a new team panel where I put everything related to the mind. And I noticed this :


     

     

     

    Is this the same problem as the fatigue writing lag or not ?

    Hi Flut!

     

    We know each other well, I'm Magic1111 from FM Scout. We had written to each other there over and over again in the past few years. 

     

    After the last Database patch I began to play with FM21 and your wonderful Skin!

     

    I have three questions, please:

     

    1.) Why do I have such weird, big numbers in the player profiles?

     

    2.) Here is a screenshot of your last version for the FM20.

    There there was the possibility to navigate to a real photo (e.g. in png format) at the point shown in the picture.

    This was then correctly displayed in the game as a own manager image.

    This option is currently not available, only in the general menu.

    But that is not accepted by the game.

    Will this be there again?

     

    3.) I´ve a new Monitor with a native resolution 2560 x 1440. Will there be a skin for this resolution?

     

    Many thanks in Forward mate!

    Hi Rosek. I believe if you increase the height of the roww the text will no be cut.

    You can do it in team squad.xml in the following piece of code

     

    <widget class="tactic_player_list_table" id="pltb" database_table_type="1" customisation_context="play" mode="fill_rows, stripe_rows, printable, store_sort_state, drag_rows, drop_on_rows, show_bullets, select_rows, select_multiple, show_insert_column_popup,keyboard" column_mode="resize_columns, move_columns, custom_views" popup_menu_class="popup_button_table_header" row_height="31"  row_spacing="1" navigation_container="true" default_focus="true">

    Hi Magic

     

    I hope you are well.

    Regarding your second question, you are right, the game permit to use a personal photo using the preferences during a game. The option to choose a photo when you start a new game is not available. However, I already add that oiption and in the next release of the skin that option will be there 🙂

    Regarding the skin resolution, Rosek have done a fantastic work and adapted the skin for the resolution you use. Thus you can download that version (I'm sure Rosek will explain you here in the thread, where you can download it or will put here the link again ).

     

    cheers and thanks 🙂

    NB: It's a personal approach to the skin, but for a lot of change, I added an "alt" folder to make it match with the original.
