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.

    try this one. It's taken directly from what I have at home and it works. 

    But the “flut card ”and “flut stadium” views, I didn't modify them. I only did the first one.

    Rosek, my friend, It doesn't help if you want to do it quickly, quickly for us users.

     

     Well-intentioned advice: Take a few days off from skin modding and then try it again at your leisure. Nobody benefits from it this way, and the tests take time.
    Is really buddy advice!

     

    I use now the official Download Version, until all errors have been finally resolved.

    Your Version worked (10.2), but not with the other two options! (look at Pic 1 & 2)

     

    Pic 3 all is okay.

     

    And a screen with my setting (Pic 4)

    I was a great fan of this skin for FM2020 - superb. The Flut skin for FM2020 had really nice thick outlines for the players kits on the tactics screen so you could see which player was green and which was orange when changing positions really easily. But in this Flut skin that outline has been reduced to almost a single pixel wide - you just cannot see it anymore so cannot judge whether a player can play that position or not as easily as with the default FM skin (or the FM2020 Flut dark skin). Is there any way you could please make this coloured outline thicker so its easier to see. I use that a lot in the game.

    Ok. Thank's for the pictures.

    Let's try to see where it can come from... Have you tried the same procedure with the original settings? ( I know the original skin is ugly). Do you have the same problem? If yes, it is not from the skin...
     

    If not, try to set the visual settings of the game like this:

    If you still have the same problem, finally try to re-download the skin for your resolution, delete the one you have and replace it with the new one and see what happens... 
    Unfortunately I can't help you more... Sorry

     

    tried all that as well , still doesn't show up. really strange but its been like that since day one of the game, i know they added it in later on but ive never had it 

     

    thats what my match screen looks like

    yes. This year only when you go to review a game already played you can see the timeline. During the match is not visible.

    Okay. I get it now. I thought it was during the rewiews that he didn't appear... .my bad. ME and my English... 

     

    Unfortunately this year, as @flut  says, they didn't add that. 

     

    This is a shame because if you have to leave your screen for a moment ( 🚽 or 🚬 for exemple 😉😉) and something happens, well you can't see what happened...

    Hi Flut and Rosek.

    Thanks for bringing out a new update to your skin.

    I have changed the logo for Guinea in the graphics/logos section and I have also changed it in the skins/graphics/pictures/flags/big but in game I'm still getting the other Guinea logo as per jpeg. Is it possible to let me know how to change the four logos (arrowed) for the logo (circled), please?

    Thanking you in advance

    Change the logos with arrows for the one circled.

    You should have the new nation logo in a folder with the config like this (see below) and make sure that this folder will be read before the others

    Good evening. 

    It seems that you don't have any faces in your "graphics" folder of the game. Or they are misplaced.

    If it's the 1st one, there is a very complete one here, on the site

    If it's the 2nd one, you have to check again your files locations...

    He is using a skin that is mixture of other skins called Mozaik v2.1 that was released back in December. I assume he is asking what panel is required to be edited so he can have it similar to what this this skin has already.
