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.

Hi Qvordrup and Charlston: for adjust the kits go to player overview panel.xml and change the following left inset values (don't forget that the last two should hace the same values) (this is for the option with a dot and without name)
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="104" />
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="-46" />
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="-46" />
For option “player flut card” the code you should adjust is
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="106" />
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="-45" />
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="-45" />
Qvordrup: thanks for reporting that “bug” related the logos size. Now is fixed.
flut
Thanks!!!
Rosek
Greetings.
It is to be placed here :
And then you get it back here:
Qvordrup
I have identified where all the six entries are in the overview panel.xml, but I have absolutely no idea of what to change the values to. Could you do me the huge favour of adding the fixed overview panel.xml as an attachment, and perhaps also add the panel with the fixed logos size so I don't have to wait until next update 🤷♂️👍

Hi flut,
Brilliant skin, thank you for all of the hours you have put in. If my question has been answered please feel free to just say it has been answered and I will go back through the thread. When going to a match, I get the background that says ‘Coming Soon’ with the default image from the skin. However, I have loads of background packs, and was wondering if this is because the config files I have are meant to point to certain screen e.g. Club background, stadium background etc. but don't because my current config is missing those lines. Is it supposed to show stadium backgrounds of some kind, or is the ‘Coming Soon’ currently the default when using the skin?
EDIT - Hi flut, my mistake, I had moved a folder of backgrounds because I found some were wrong and had forgotten to put it back. Thanks
kevinlevrone
thank you.
flut my friend ,tell me what to do to keep the window - continue, fully visible ?I don't see the continue button during half-time and after the match is over. everything is fine before the game .I figured there is a bug in the match_area_panel file.xml . could you please have a look at this file ?
thank you
flut
Hi
Regarding the kits. You should reduce the values 104 (for the option with only a dot in the drop down arrow) and -46 (since I don't use SS kits, you have to use try and error method - for instance, change 104 for 99 and -46 for .40). For the “player flut card” do the same (for example -100 and -40).
Concerning the logos use this files. The first one place it directly in the panels folder of the skin. The second one place it in the person folder of the skin.
flut
The panel responsible for that is the match day header panel.xml
However you always can use the space tab of your keybord to advance in the game.
Qvordrup
@flut thanks for help 👏👍😀
I managed to get right. If anyone else is playing with 1920x1080 resolution (100% zoom) and SS'kits I have attached my edited player overview panel.
Merovix_822
hi how did you edit colors attributes players
Rosek
Greetings.
To change the colors of the attribute boxes, go to "flutskin_dark settings" and go to line 453.
You will find <!-- background attribute box colors Flut 20 v2 -->
And you just need to change only the next 5 lines by replacing the numbers with al color you want.
<color name = "unknown attribute background" red = "146" green = "82" blue = "143" /> avec <color name = "unknown attribute background" value = "your color" />
Merovix_822
shortly could you send me your settings
Rosek
If you play in 2560x1440, normally you should have my settings.
Tell me what colors you want and in this order : Unknown > Low > Normal > Good > Excellent and I can do it for you if you want ?
Merovix_822
thanks for your help unkown (RED) LOW (RED) NORMAL (YELLOW) GOOD (DARK GRREN) EXCELLENT (DARK GREEN) i play in 1920x1080
Rosek
I send you the draft by PM

Put this one in the place of the one in your skin.

Hi, I've downloaded your file and added it to my Skin, I've cleared cache and reloaded the skin, but I still get the shirt sleeves cut off? I looked through your file attachment and I think this is the original player overview file and not the one you edited, as I could not see any changes?
Qvordrup
No, it is the right file. Where have you put it? you need to overwrite your current “player overview panel”. it is located here :
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins\fm2021flutskin_dark\panels\player
Also when using SS'kits you should replace the default kits in the skin. they are located here :
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins\fm2021flutskin_dark\graphics\pictures\kits
Delete the kits folder and replace it with THIS
Rosek
Hello.
According to what I see, you have the jerseys in ssk mode and the background in Fc12 mode. You need to change the 2d file located here
graphics\pictures\kits by one that supports the ssk format.
Try this one:

I've changed the kits folder, to the one that you linked (I forgot to do that after changing from v8 to v11 of FLUT's skin!). That is now looking correct; however, the left hand-side shirt sleeve is still cutting off.
I've got your file in the right place and I've started a new game with clearing cache and reloading skin and it's still having this issue. I've attached the play overview panel that I downloaded - do you want to double check it??
Rosek
The problem with the ssk's is that they are a bit bigger than the fc12's, so they stick out of the window and if you move them, they overlap...
Try these files:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/502s6u360i8g74p/player_overview_panel.rar/file ( left position of the picture)
https://www.mediafire.com/file/l2a0ezgywdxk3cz/middle.rar/file ( middle position of the picture )
https://www.mediafire.com/file/1tmfseaaly1i53t/kit_icon14.rar/file ( modification of the number )
Merovix_822
HI, its possible to have the tactics screen similar this where you can see the kits with the sponsors. thanks
Day Tripper
Hi @Rosek - @Qvordrup said that he managed to correct it for SSks just by editing the player overview panel. I have his file, but it didn't work for me. I'll try yours now.
Rosek
The way he does it should work fine if you change your player overwiew panel to the one he shared... 🤔🤔🤔
Day Tripper
Nope, I have just tried downloading and replacing the player overview panel again from @Qvordrup , but I still get the same problem…
@Rosek - your way did not work either.
I am in full screen with 1920 x 1080 resolution and zoom out 85%
Qvordrup
This is for sure the file I'm using, I'm uploading it straight from my skin folder. What resolution are you playing with? this only work well with 1920x1080 and 100% zoom 👍
Rosek
OK. Try to set the zoom to 100%.
And make me a screenshot of the whole page please.
Day Tripper
If I do 100% Zoom, I get this! @Qvordrup @Rosek
Qvordrup
Okay that is completely wrong. My suggestion is to start all over again. Set the resolution to 1920x1080 (full screen) and 100% zoom, then close the game and delete the skin. Then download the lastest version of the skin, replace the default kits with SS'kits, use the “alt kit logo on player profile fixed” from the alt folder, apply the “player overview panel” you have from me, and then start the game and see if that does not work 👍
Day Tripper
I think I might just leave it as it was. Everything else is fine and it is not a major problem.
I have my windows desktop scaling at 125% - might that be part of the issue?
