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.

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.

    Did you realise that the stadium for Leicester City Football Club (LCFC) is showing on Lincoln City Football Club (LCFC) club screen by mistake.  Not sure little old Lincoln Town would be able to afford the King Power stadium!

    That has got nothing to do with the skin. You have downloaded you backgrounds from somewhere and it is there the problem lies. If you use the background pack provided from your site here : https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/style/17/google-earth-stadium-backgrounds , then it will look like this:

    Hi. That problem is not related to the skin. In my game the stadium is Gelder Group Sincil Bank Stadium. Maybe in the season you play the club (Lincoln) are playing in the Leicester Stadium (for instance if the Licoln stadium is under remodelng). But as I said, this is nothing to do with the skin.

     

    hello flut

    maybe you know what to do to hear the sounds of the club's fans during the match, as it was in the previous games in football manager 2011,12??

    I guess you should change it to 85% zoom and icons only on your sidebar 

    your resolution is 1920x1080 I suppose?

    The skin is designed to work with the game's zoom at 100% and your screen's zoom as well. If you change either of these, there will be lag problems.

    1/The skin is designed to work with the game zoom at 100% and your screen zoom as well. If you change either of these, there will be lag problems.

    2/ The skin is configured to only show icons on the sidebar. This also causes lag. To fix this problem, go to the game settings and check this option.

     

    3/ To make the jerseys appear on the players panel, you need to make a second file, in your game graphics folder.
    Copy the one you have, rename it and then modify all the "config" files inside using the PDF provided by Flut.

    Hi, thanks for a great skin!

     

    I have a question, 

     

    How do I edit the color of a players name in the team view screen for when someone is either on loan at a club, loaned out to another club, on trial or put on shortlist?

    Good evening.
    You have not downloaded the kits for this panel. You can find the way to do so in the description at the top of the page...
    There are 2 types of kits: ssk or fc.
    Depending on which one you use, be careful to match the background (what you see right now). And to modify it, you will find the file to modify in the "alt" folder.

    It is not included in the skin update for the 2560x1440 resolution which was, in fact, just a small graphics offset adjustment. 

    Maybe in a future update of the original skin. 

    Please be patient.

    I have a ton of custom  kits and generally a lot of kits that are not available here.
    I do not want to use anything else, I want to use the kits that I have already in place here “\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\graphics\kits”.

    Or better if it could just use the kits shown under “Club Info”.
    Is that possible?

    Fantastic dude. If it would be possible, some of us would love to have a optimized version for 2560x1440. I'm sure this is a lot of work but I think many people nowadays  are using 32" monitors. Therefore it would be so great when some of you guys could make this happened (donation guaranteed) :-)
