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!!

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!!

 

You can download the 2D packs prepared for Flutskin (titlebar and player overview panel) here in sourtitoutsi. FC style kits https://sortitoutsi.net/content/44727/2d-kits-1819-for-flutskin-titlebarplayer-overview-v10 SS Kits style https://sortitoutsi.net/content/57825/ss-kits-as-logo-left-for-flut-skin

 

If you prefer SS'kits as default kits, you can download this and replace the kits folder located here: Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2022\skins\fm2022flutskin_dark\graphics\pictures\kits
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.

 

The sortitoutsi Backgrounds Megapack includes player, competition and stadium backgrounds, as well as beautiful city images:  https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/style/17/sortitoutsi-backgrounds-megapack

 

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 donate by clicking here:
https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=E9P4RXKNQBQBS
 

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.

 

[b]How to add Flut Skin in FM23[/b]
Download and extract the .zip file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

Place the "fm2023flutskin_dark" folder here: 
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2023\skins

[*] Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.
[*] Start FM23 and go to Preferences screen and then into the Interface tab.
[*] You should see FM 2023 Flut Skin dark - 8.0 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.

As you can see in the image, only Meiji Yasuda J1 League Kashiwa Reysol is not reflected. What do you think is the cause? ?Only this team is not reflected.

 

You should have the “normal” 2D kits pack too, since the pack 5 2dKits as left logos is the pack specially prepared to work on flutskin (player panel and titlebar…). The “normal” pack have other kind of configs. You can download the packs here in sourtitoutsi or in fm slovakia FC’12 Season 2022/23 - FM Slovakia

Thank You very mutch for the quick reponse. It solved the only issue i have had with 2.0. Now rushing to play!!! :-) By flut 05 December 2022 - 22:19 PM UTC

Hi and thanks for reporting. You can use the file that HnV place in his comment. However, if you want to better align on the left (next to the arrow), in code line 98, you can use id="align_left" offset="50" instead of id="align_left" offset="200", as it is in the filke made available for HnV. 🙂

I don't use that resolution. Thus, sorry I can't help. Maybe you can use trial and error method in order to find the best  combination of the ZOOM of the game and the windows display settings of your pc…

Is it possible to have, like last year, a version of this fantastic skin with hidden values? For more realism in the game 😅

Last season it was Rich Bell who adjust the skin for not display the attributes values. However, since Rich have not yet the opportunity to do it, I already prepared an alt pack for that. I will include that alt in the next version of the skin or in an update just for include that alt folder.

First, thank you Flut for your great work! 

Regarding not displaying attributes values, would it be possible to have an option in between the two? I am thinking it would be using the attributes colours settings in the game and displaying that colour.

I understand it may mean too much work and maybe not so many interested in that option but I feel that would be kind of realistic. I mean you know if a player is better at one thing than the other but not exactly how good.

Hi NunoKopio

 

If you want to use the default, use this. Place it in the game folder of the skin.

Hello, in this screenshot I can see the logo of the nation and the logo of the federation in the window of the player's photo. In my game the two logos are the same, the logo of the nation. And a second question, the logo of the league appears in the title bar, on the top right, but in my game the logo of the nation appears. How can I change both???… thank you very much.

Hello. Is not easy to explain. The best I can do is to share with you my folders of competitions, nations and federation logos in order you can take a look how I have that stuff. If you want, send me a PM and I share with you the folders.

Thanks for the amazing skin and the ability to customise! Just had a couple of points to suggest:

 

  1. The game update in Dec included status of substitutions during the match, is it possible to add this to the skin?
  2. Is it possible to add another panel in the in-match information tablet? I saw this on some other skins and it's really helpful to call out additional match info in a second panel tab, (and perhaps also include the options to track match momentum etc)

Thanks!!
