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.

    Greetings to you @flut 

    Thank you for the answers. 
    Would it be possible to add this second indicator with the one already on the club sign ?
    And on the other hand, to make our current ranking green if we are above, white if we are at the same level and red if we are below the objective set by the club ?

     

    Hi Rosek

     

    Your ideas are great, however I don't know if is possible to do that. I tried to understand if so and I tested some codes but without success (the odds always seem to be displayed as a whole in a table..)  With my scarce knowledge of coding I really don't know how to do it. The best I could do was to include in the drop down arrow two tables, one with the odds and other with the current positions. With this we can compare the odds and the current position. I also included in the top middle panel the reputation of the league (with stars). Sorry, but is the best I could do. Here is a screenshot.

    @flut this shows on other teams (than the one you manage) tactic screen. Could the icon somehow be in front of the black line?

    Indeed, from what I see, the problem comes from the fact that the three buttons on the top left get mixed up when you look at a team you don't control...

    Hey buddy,
     

    the  panels doesn't fit very well @ 2560 x 1440 (125%).

     

     

    When I change the resolution to 1920 x 1440 (100%) it's the same issue.

    Oh, and when I try to put “alt player overview panel Flutskin21 style” into the game with copy paste, nothing changes after refreshing the skin. The new panels can't be overwritten. That's sad because I liked the style before a little more.

    Hi Rosek! My main 2d kits folder are in SS format, and I've made a copy for Flut skin proposed in instructions.

    I could make some changes in the xml's to make SS format compatible?

    *Apparently, Qvordrup got this: https://sortitoutsi.net/comments/get/633526

    You need to replace your default kits. Right now they are fc'12 kits and you are using SS'kits.

    delete the kits folder found here in your skin folder : Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins\fm2021flutskin_dark\graphics\pictures 

    and then put this kits folder in it's place : https://sortitoutsi.net/media/1365150/download

     

    It is also described in the opening post of this skin 👍

    Hi Rosek

    The first request is done. I changed the team report panel. Now it includes much more information in tabs (including scatter plots, polygons, formations faced, formations used, XG table and Individual match analysis). Thanks for your suggestion.

    Regarding your answer about that icon..I still search for the xml responsible for that information….I couldn't find it yet.

    Hi. Thanks!!!

    Regarding your questions:

     

    1. Go to person snapshot club overview16.xml and increase the value of the inset in line 53

     <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="100"/>

     

    and line 68

     

     <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="101"/>

     

    Use try and error method, but I believe you can try a value such as 125 and 126….

     

    2. Since the weight units you use requires lots of space,you should move the weight to the right. For that do the following (in player overview panel.xml)

     In line 736, increase the value 68

     

    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="68"/>

    Hi flut,

     

    Great skin and updates as always. In regards to your second point I have tried changing the value from 68 but no matter what I put it doesn't move the weight units across slightly to the right.

     

    Any ideas on why it's not working?

     

    Many thanks

    The change I suggested is only for the “profile” option in the drop down arrow, since in your screenshot it was that option. For the other options you have to change other pieces of code.

    Wow! You, Sir, are amazing! Thank you. I don't suppose you could help me on the players name being too low? or number too large? Whatever the issue is. Be great to see name above number, if possible.
