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.

    Hi.

    I also hope you are well.

    I haven't any scoreboard for the leagues. The skin only have that scoreboard I included. Thus, I can't give you any other. Even if I had it, for include it in the skin (instead of that one I use) we should change many things in the xml (is not easy). 

    The thing regarding the TV Logos I didn't understand. Sorry, Could you please explain a little bit more?

    Deleted Account #1359833

    yes, i mean TV Logo for Seria A, Coppa Italia, Europa-League, Champions-League

    then i can save them and for each Competition…and just use them for each Competition
    = reload Skin and then play the Game

    🙂

    Thanks, i will try ingame.

     

    i do not why, but every time i change something on StartScreen - (Picture)

    it is back to default, when i choose left (sidebar) other Screen like “Tactics” and the go back to Start Screen

    why did not save the FM my Changes on Start Screen?

     

    i changed middle left to “Tabelle", next change to “Spielerstatistiken”, next to “Vertragslaufzeiten”…

     

     

    Deleted Account #1359833

    @flut  please look at the Picture.

     

    how can i change right side the TV Logo much more bigger? i want to see that much better, so i want to set them bigger

    +

    how can i disable left side the two Box? i did not want to see any box left side. i did not see a Buttom, for disable that. The Pulldown left side in each box is only for use other Screen in the box, but, no way to disable the box. the only button to disable stuff is right bottom, to disable the bench.

     

    Thanks for help!

    🙂

     

    Edit: i want to change the Match Skin - so, where is the panel for that? i want to change something, so that you can see, when the Game starts like here (example)

    Edit: look at the Screenshot (Goal Sound) and (Red Card)
    it is possible to include the Players Face (big Photo) + Competition Logo much bigger + the full Goal Score / Red Card Box bigger ( Text Font higher)
    = then i can see all better

    Hi

    Lots of things…

    1. You can edit the TV Logo, but it should have 25px or 50px (@2x) in the height (otherwise will be cut by the panel in the match between highlights). Regarding the width you are free to enlarge it as you want
    2. To disable that box you just have to click on the match timer once.
    3. The competition logo in the match captions panel is now a little bit increased (in the next version). That panel doesn't accept face pictures. Regarding the fonts I have to take a look but if you increase the fonts probably the information will be cut when, for example, the players name are large….

    Greetings. 
    To change the box colours, you need to go to the file named "FM21flutskin_dark setting" and search for <!-- background attribute box colors Flut 20 v2 -->.
    The five lines of code below that handle the attribute box colours.  

     

    I can do this for you if you like ?
    I just need the order of the colours you want ( unknown > weak > normal > good > excellent ).

     

    Kind regards

    Hi all

     

    Now you can download the 13.0 version with the following updates:

    “New” Player overview panel (nation flag included in titlebar; new hidden information, namely in ability panel; new player position comparison panel – now we can compare by each player position, clicking on the dots in the pitch; new tab with player statistics).
    • “New” tactics overview panel (now it includes the front and back kits in the pitch – rotating animation; physical conditions included in the extra information view)
    • “New” nation overview panel (much more information in three panels including 13 different tabs (examples: board confidence, last starting eleven with front and back kits, season summary, team injuries, etc)
    • Club overview panel tweaked (many information boxes in the drop-down arrow, including club vision, club knowledge map, pending transfers, team injuries, etc).
    • Large kit numbers re-edited (now they present a better resolution)
    • Some other tweaks here and there

     

    cheers!!

    Yes. Excluding the logo near the country locator since it is part of the country locator. You can go to graphics/pictures/logos and remove the folders named normal and small (that folders have metallic logos for continents and default - the only metallic logos included in the skin beyond the logo in country locator).

    Hi Flut

     

    Really like the new update and especially like the new player position comparison panel – where we can compare by each player position by clicking on the dots in the pitch. This is one of the feature requests I've made on the SI web site.

    Greetings to all.

     

    @Mag1lc2  Yes, I'm already on the case. And I also made some graphic modifications on some small points on my side.

     

    @flut . I have a new challenge for you and I think you will be able to do it like all the others.
     

    Here it is: if you look at the 3 circles on the players panel, the third circle of the goalkeepers takes into account the tackles and this one stays at zero. I also noticed that the first one is already different between the outfield players and the goalkeepers. My question was if it was possible to give this circle the clean sheet/match played values?

     

    Good evening to all.

    Thanks!! Regarding your question the answer is yes (I believe, for the most part of the attributes). If you have the ingame editor, all that hidden attributes in the ability box will be displayed.
