Dear all
This is FLUTSKIN version 6.0 for FM22!!
Ten years (!!!!) after start editing the Flutskin I would like to give a great thank you to all FM fans who choose to play with FLUTSKIN and always keep me motivated to still editing the skin and gave me new ideas!!!
A special thank you to all of 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 thank you to all the skin makers who indirectly contribute to my work, and a special thank you to PATRES10, from fmslovakia for the 2D default kits (especially tailor-made for FlutSkin), to MICHAEL MURRAY since I started editing the match inbetween highlights panel based on his amazing work, to QVORDRUP, for the metallic “Round country flags” and his great collaboration in the “country locator maps”, to NUNO KOPIO for the “Square shiny flags” I included as alt files (for using as an alternative to the “Round country flags”) and to DAZS8 for his great work in the addons for Flutskin.
This FLUTSKIN for FM22 is almost equal to the last version of Flutskin for FM21. Therefore, you can find so many changes comparing to the default skin that I can’t present them here. I suggest you to see with your eyes all the changes!!
Main changes in 6.0 of FLUTSKIN:
- Home panel (individual match analysis included)
- Player popup panel (information about media handling style and personality included)
- Player profile panel (drop down arrow with two profile styles included; profile 1 as it was in version 5.0; profile 2 with the front and back kits instead of the attributes analyser)
The pack includes many alt files for customize the skin (please read the read me file included in the pack) and several tutorials: 1) how should be the configs for the stadiums packs; 2) how can you adjust the size and the place of the kit number in player overview panel; 3) how can you do the 2D kits adapted for Flutskin. BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE ALT FOLDERS AND ALSO AT THE READ ME AND TUTORIAL FILES!!

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.
Important note regarding kit number and name in the player overview panel:
Since many people asked about the adjustments in the number and name in the kits (in player overview panel), and also since I already answered that many many times, I decided to make my “job” easier, avoiding answering that question again, and again and again 🙂.
Thus I did a tutorial which is included in the skin pack.
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.
[b]How to add Flut Skin in FM22[/b]

Hi Flut
Huge dan of work, happy you're back
For some reason it's not showing up for me. I've done everything as normal but when I go to select skin it just doesn't appear. All my other graphics work fine. Aby idea why this might be happening?
look at my screenshot make sure in your preferences the middle box is only ticked then clearer cache and reload skin
jkishthe1
tried clearing the cache, no effect. It literally just don't show up. Al i can select is the default skin
and is the middle box ticked in your preferences plus make sure you have not got any other skins in your folder
Ive sent you 2 screen shots how my preferences look
jkishthe1
yep, everything is exatly like that. I even deleted the skins folder and extracted the skins into a new skins folder
right ill send you my preference folder and skin folder in a private message try mine give me 5 mins
jkishthe1
mine is exactly the same
sent you a private message

Cheers Flut! Will have a go at the changing of the height and place of the numbers on the kit, just struggling with the SS kits.
So do i basically copy across all of my SS Kits from my Graphics folder that is used in the SI skin?
Apologies for not following, this is the first FM i've been so in depth with skins! Used to just throwing a load of logo's and kits in folders and them working haha!
Also, how do i adapt these kits for your Flutskin?
flut
In the skin presentation I put the links for the threads with SS kits (default and prepared for Flutskin). Thus, you can download those packs. In the first link read the instructions regrading how to intall the kits.
Regarding the pack of the second link you should replace the folders with same name of the folders in the skin, located in graphics/pictures/kits/2d.
Finally, if you want adapt your kits you just have to follow the instructions I included in the skin pack (in a pdf file).
You can download the 2D packs prepared for Flutskin (titlebar and player overview panel) here in sourtitoutsi.

If you prefer SS'kits as default kits, you can download this and replace the kits folder located here: Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins\fm2021flutskin_dark\graphics\pictures\kits

Hi
I believe you didn't put the correct folder in the skins folder of the game. Where you extract the pack (after download the skin) you should open the folder and take a look inside. You can see another folder with the skin name. Is only that folder you should directly put in the skins folder of the game.
jkishthe1
I found the problem. It was a combination of that plus the game was, for some reason, looking elsewhere for the skin. Once I worked that our I was able to get it to find it. Thank you though

@flut
thank u for the best skin 🙂
As every year i made a donation (manuel h.) Thank you,
i had a problem with the data hub don´t shown up. Same problem as TimTe215 (fmscout).
My problem was with the “alt for unlock japanese overview panel” → i paste the sections folder in my skin folder.
After i delete it and reload skin the data hub is back.
Maybe it helps u or other people to solve that problem
flut
Many many thanks for your apport. In fact I don't use the unlock japanese overview panel and, maybe is that the problem. I will tell that to TimTe215 🙂
And thanks also for your donations 🙂

Hello firstly thank your all your work it massivly improves FM for us all!
I'm desperate to get the FLUT dark skin this year as I've always had problems installing it! Can you please help?
I download and extract the skin on my Mac(Book Air) using The Unarchiver - but when I go to preferences/interface nothing drops down? Do I need to download anything before I install just the skin or can you think of any reason why this isn't working?
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Sion
flut
Thank you sion. 🙂
I don't use a Mac but to the best of my knowledge you don't need to do nothing different. Thus, maybe when you extracted the skin you don't have to take the folder with the name of the skin (wich is inside the extracted folder). That is that folder (and only that folder) you should place directly in the skins folder of the game.
Louie's Loots
The best skin out there, congrats for the work !
AdeBFC
Sorted it!! Cheers for the help Flut
Just need to figure out how to change the colour of the date / time on the top bar (sometimes the white on white, for say England, i can't see the date)
Brilliant work on the skin though, love it!!!
keymax
Hey FLUT, massive fan of your skin for years. Last year you implemented the no numerical attributes addon, any chance we will see that again?
Cheers and thanks for your wokr
flut
Thanks Louie's!!
AdeBFC: great news! Regarding the other problem, please show me a screenshot.
keymax: thanks!! Regarding your question, I really don't know. Las year it was RichBell who made that addon and I don't know if I have time to do it. Maybe RichBell can do it again….However, if you want, you can hide the attributes values. You just have to find all the xmls that have “player attributes” in the name and in the code similar to the following change the size value to “0” (in this example is “11”)
<!-- Attribute value -->
<record index="2" id="val " top="1" bottom="1" sort_disabled="true" column_alignment="centre,can_scale">
<record id="widget_info" class="attribute_label" alignment="centre,can_scale" colour="black" size="11" font="label" use_attribute_colour_as_bg="true" appearance="boxes/custom/attributes/paper"/>
</record>
flut
Hi again
It seems you really found the problem. There is a guy in fmscout who tried that solution and it worked!!
Many thanks again. 🙂
Onyewu
Anyone else have an issue with not being able to open the Data Hub from the sidebar icon/name? I can access it with the base skin, but not with the Flut skin….maybe it's the button I'm using from an older Flut skin? All the other sidebar items will open when I click them.
