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

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.

Will try that, although I usually reset cache on each load
Rosek
Okay. You do it quite regularly. Very good. 👍👍
Then there is the procedure to clear the computer cache... It's a bit more complex... I've already done it once, following the story of the disappearing health icons, if you remember...
I'm looking again for how to do it and come back to you.
Rosek
Find :
We will sometimes ask you to delete your cache/preference folders, which can cause problems. It will be recommended that you move these files to another location and into a "new" folder on your desktop. If this solves the problem, you can then send us folders to fix the original error.
Make sure the game is not open before following these instructions.
Windows 7:
- Click on "Start".
- Select "Computer".
- Then select the "Organize" drop-down menu
- Select "Folder and Search Options".
- Then select the "View" tab and make sure "Show hidden files, folders and drives" is checked
- Go to C:\Users[Your Windows Username]\AppDataLocalSports InteractiveFootball Manager 2021
- Move the Preferences and/or Cache folder to your desktop, so that they no longer appear in the FM21 folder
Windows 8.1 and Windows 10:
- Click on "File Explorer" in the toolbar (or click on "Desktop/Start", then type "File Explorer")
- Then click on "View" and make sure "Hidden Items" (above "Show/Hide") is checked
- Go to C:\Users[Your Windows Username]\AppDataLocalSports InteractiveFootball Manager 2021
- Move the Preferences and/or Cache folder to your desktop, so that they no longer appear in the FM21 folder
Note: this folder has no connection with your backups. After you delete these folders, others will be reset by default. The next time you run the game, don't forget to change any preferences you want (like autosave, sound settings or display).

Hi Rosek!
Many thanks for update, will try this new version! 👍
And I´ve question please:
These round circles in the player profile of the tactical line-up (see where the arrows point in the screenshot) do not exist if you want to switch in a 3D game or if you are looking at the tactical line-up in a 3D game. The players do not have this round circle, which indicates the qualification for the current position.
Can these circles be added to the tactical line-up in the 3D game, please?

Cheers my friend

Did it work? Can you play again?
If it's good, very very good news!!!
Chunky677
Fantastic - thanks Flut - really appreciate you taking the time to answer and help me here. All the best.
Rosek
I had an idea.
It is in its final stages but I could have used some help....
In order to display the flag instead of the logo, what is the term to put in the line of code. I have searched, but unfortunately I did not find it... Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
flut
Hi Rosek
Sorry. I didn't understand. Where do you want to place a flag instead of a logo?
Rosek
Greetings to all.
A big thank you to Mr. Old school who pointed out a small discrepancy in one of the panels.
To fix this problem, open "Tactics icon preview info panel14", look for the line where it says:
<widget id = "cKit" class = "kit_icon" scale_picture = "true" file = "generic / kit icon5" kit_zoom_level = "2" priority = "1" > and just replace 5 with 6
Cordially
Mag1lc2
Hi Rosek!
Unfortunately, I'm a little confused now…🤷♂️
Exactly what request does this fix apply to?
For my request last evening, 21:26:03? >> https://sortitoutsi.net/content/57136/fm-2021-flut-skin-dark-version-10?page=42#comment_627379
When yes, I´m not User “Mr. Old school”….😁
When no, what exactly this Fix do, and is this for the WQHD Version too?
Rosek
Greetings.
Don't panic.
This was for the update I edited for the resolution 2560x1440 last night to correct a small visual error, nothing more...
Indeed, when you receive a start of season report from an opposing team, the numbers on the jersey were not at their position.
I'll update the skin later today.
Concerning your request, it is taken into account. And if you are the only one to ask for these indicators, I will send you the file to apply as an "alt" file.
Sincerely.
Mag1lc2
Hi Rosek, many thanks for reply!
Yes, it would be great if I got a "alt" file, thank you in advance.
Otherwise, I'm waiting for the new version! 😊
Marck
will look forward to the new version
kevinlevrone
hello
maybe who do you know what to do to make the subtitles on the left side will be in the window as on the right? I have a mosaic skin.
thanks
Rosek
Hello to all.
As promised, here is the skin update for the 2560x1440 resolution and for right screen.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/rrsii14hxm6h1e9/fm2021flutskin_dark2560x1440V10.1.rar/file
I've also added a skin that works for a 110% zoom (only the one in the game at 110%) for those who thought the writing was too small with its "alt" file of course.
And to make up for the mistake I made last night, I've attached a bonus. This is what I use, for my team that I manage, when I play.
It's a gift.
Good game.
PS : @Mag1lc2 your application is still being processed... Sorry it's taking me longer than expected...
Mag1lc2
Thanks mate, and no problem! 😊
Short question…I want to play with Sky Sport TV Logo.
Can you please explain me, how to do?
Thx mate!
Hi to all. 🙂
Question: https://www.bilder-upload.eu/bild-69ab35-1617209584.png.html
how can i set on right side the two Boxes with Career Statistique to one Box for that?
Thanks a lot for help.
🙂
Edit: other Thing
Attribute with and without Attribute Background Box
without: look at Attributes in Yellow
https://www.bilder-upload.eu/bild-53f698-1617211874.png.html
with Background Box - the Yellow Attributes are not yellow
https://www.bilder-upload.eu/bild-9d5fb7-1617211906.png.html
How can i change that to right Yellow Background Box
Thanks a lot for help.
🙂
Rosek
No problem.
To have the "skysport" logo instead of the one I installed, you just have to replace in the line of code corresponding to the TV Logo the number that is at the end (Skysport is the tvlogo2 ).
(<widget class="icon_button" id="inst" icon="icons/tv logos/tv logo5") in the following files :
- "match tittle bar" for the one on the top left during the match.
- in the "match league table panel cutscene" and "match caption panel small
-To change the ones for the team presentations , just copy the ones here Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins\fm2021flutskin_dark2560x1440\graphics\icons\custom\match\logos\Sky color and put them in place of the ones here: Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins\fm2021flutskin_dark2560x1440\graphics\custom\match\logos\ ( a step backwards).
Have a nice evening.
Edit : For your information, Flut has managed to put the circles you asked for. Congratulations to him. “The boss is always faster than the student..”

Hi
I already changed the tactics in the match, including the player pictures, nation flag and role duty pir, as in the tactics overview panel. This and some other tweaks will be included in the next version (I have to talk also with Rosek in order that he can include that cghanges in therir adaptation),
cheers
flut
You should edit inbox panel.xml, located in human folder of the skin.
Hi Flut, thanks !
🙂
but….i mean not Top right - i mean here: https://www.bilder-upload.eu/bild-37cb37-1617214105.png.html
when you can tell me, which to chance in player overview panel.xml that´s enough.
because when i just delete my player overview panel.xml and then put in:
…\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins\fm2021flutskin_dark2560x1440\panels\player
your player overview panel.xml then, i think, too much other Stuff do not work fine, like in my Case, the Kits Back Numbers
🙂
so, just the Codeline for make from two seperate one big Box in the Right Bottom
Thank You!
🙂
Edit:
…\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins\fm2021flutskin_dark2560x1440\settings
=fm2021flutskin_dark settings.xml
you mean that? i changed that to my personally Colours
Result:
https://www.bilder-upload.eu/bild-bbc38a-1617215330.png.html
and
https://www.bilder-upload.eu/bild-0bd5f8-1617215532.png.html
it´s fine for me…
flut
Yes. You did it as you want (I believe).
Regarding the player overview panel, sorry but I really didn't understand that you are asking about that two boxes in the bottom right. Here is the file (note that this file is from the original skin, not for the adapted version, but I believe you can do it also in the adapted version comparing the file with this one).
kevinlevrone
can you help me? I don't know what to do
Flut, it is easy to understand:
🙂
The Career Statistiques have a long List, So, when you only have one box right bottom, The Lenght it is not so long, that you can see the most of the Career Steps.
i love, when you can see most of them, and not have to scroll down with the mouse in the Box.
this is reason, that i thought, if we can put the two Boxes together, then the Box Length is so good, that most of the Career Steps can be shown without scrolling too much.
🙂 now, you know what i mean?
flut
Please send me the file I referred in my post and I can take a look on it.
flut
Yes. When I did my last post I only referred that I didn't understand your first post (I supposed you want merge the two top boxes). If you look at the attach I included in my last post you can see that the two bottom right boxes are already merged,
Mag1lc2
Many thanks for the excellent Explanation! 👍
Regarding my request….is it possible to become the needed files (for the WQHD Version) before the official release of a new version? 🎁
Ah…and Rosek…your gift from the last version (Squad view) is excellent, I am using it from now on ! ✔
