Dear all
This is FLUTSKIN Version 8.0 for FM23!!
First of all 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”) to PMPOU for his great contribution with many tickets to customize the skin, to DAZS8 for his great work in the addons for Flutskin. I also thank you for the contributes made by NOLEAFWILEN and RICHBELL.
In FlutSkin you can find so many changes comparing to the default skin that I can’t present all of them here. I suggest you to go through the panels in order to see with your eyes all the changes!!

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.
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.

Thanks and cheers
Greg Brooking
I love the screenshots, but cannot get this to load. I've downloaded, unzipped, and placed in my skins folder. I've cleared my cache and reloaded the skin, and it still doesn't appear as an option.

Greg Brooking
@flut or @mush7 - can you help me?
flut
Hi
After unpacked the skin, inside the folder you can se two folders. Place only fm2023flutskin_dark folder in the skins folder of the game.
flut

JWD

Greg Brooking
@flut - this looks fantastic, but I've noticed two issues on the player screen.
mattyh1985
massive thanks for doing new skin so quickly
JWD
I also have the similar one. The team kits are displayed correctly but much too big.
Unfortunately I forgot how to change this.
JWD
I think I have found a mistake?!
In the overview of the Bundesliga all the icons are white in the menu left.

Thanks @flut you are a legend

Ha! Flut saved us once more with FLUT23 🙂
Greg Brooking
@flut hey, love your work, but wanted you to know of another issue. The weather pane is cut-off on the top right. I am using full screen, but have 3 screens open, so you can ignore the Word document on the right screen.
Greg Brooking
@flut I'm at halftime and cannot see how to continue the match.

He looks like this in my game, you need to use flut card?

Hi, and thank you all for your kind words.
Regarding the “problems” reported:
@Greg: The problems you report are due your screen and/or Windows display settings. The skin works completely well in 3840x2160 (4K with windows display settings 200%) and also 1920x1080 (1080p) full screen mode, sidebar icons only. However, you can solve those problems.
@JWD: Regarding the first “problem”, please read my comment (above) to @Greg (1 and 2). Regarding the second, could you please show a screenshot?
Jonfun
How do you fix the players numbers being so big.
flut
Please read the skin presentation in order to know the link for the real kits prepared to the FlutSkin; I also included a .pdf explaining how can you solve the problem regarding the name and the number of the back kit.

Hi all
Due the tests I did for the sidebar colour, I believe I made a mistake and put in the skin pack, the wrong xml (that's why, as JWD reported, the competitions and clubs with white primary colour, have the wrong sidebar).
I believe now is correct.
Please use this file (place it in the generic folder of the skin. In meantime I will do a new upload with that fix (only with that fix). Please let me know if is okay.
Cheers and sorry
flut
The pdf have the name “Changing the size and place of kit number and kit name.pdf”
SC00P
I believe the skin isn't correctly updating scout assignments. See picture, when I order J.Goikoetxea to scout next opposition, the skin doesn't show the change. When I turn off FLUT skin and activate FLUT skin again, the change becomes visible with FLUT skin! :
SC00P
The same applies to deleting a scouting assignment. When I tell a scout to scout somewhere and then cancel the assignment the “Recruitent Focus Area” won't update without turning FLUT skin off and back on!
The game also doesn't seem to provide a way to delete “scout next opposition” or “ Squad Player (analyse own team)”. No idea, how to delete it, perhaps something that should be reported to SI..
