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.

BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE ALT FOLDERS AND ALSO AT THE READ ME AND TUTORIAL FILES!!

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.

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.

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.

Hi
For fix the PA/CA attributes in player overview/player profile using the alt dor without boxes use the following files (place them in player folder of the skin)
For using PA/CA in staff profile use also the file I sent you (place it in non player folder of the skin)
The other problem…waht is the player overview panel you are using?
flut
Hi and thanks
Unfortunately I don't know how to do it (or even if is possible). Sorry…
IAmTheStag
Thanks for this. Looks much better for staff CA and PA visibility.
I am currently using the attached player overview panel. I have edited this slightly to adjust the age left and vertical so you may find the numbers are slightly different to the downloaded default player overview panel but unless I have accidently made other changes in this config without knowing.
flut
I tested your file and everything is oaky. The problem is not related to this file. Try to clear the cache, exit the game, reload the skin (and keep only this skin and only this version in the skins folder)
IAmTheStag
Tried to follow this and still have the boxed overlay affecting the kits. Any other ideas?
IAmTheStag
Not sure if it helps locate where the issue could be @flut but for goal keepers in my own squad the issue doesn't appear. Only outfield players. However for other teams I view the issue appears for both GK and outfield. Really weird and I haven't had this issue before V4.
flut
Are you sure you hadn't change anything more in the skin (graphics, for example?). As I said, I tested the file you sent me and works well without that kind of problems…
try to use this
IAmTheStag
Still the same with that file unfortunately. Out of interest where is the overlay box image kept within graphics? I might try to delete the image and see if that improves the visuals?
Other things I changed where the kit name and number location following your PDF guides for kit icon 38 and applied the alt sidebar match club colour panels. I graphics I deleted the role rating and star rating folders as I prefer the default styles rather than the provided styles. And in fm2023flutskin_dark settings.xml I remove the colour coding for player positions as again I prefer the standard colour set per position rather than the provided ones. But all of these changes are ones I make each time there is an update and haven't had an issue before. I have actually reverted these areas to the original provided files and reloaded the skin so see if it made a difference but it didn't. It is a mind bender!
If I delete the whole skin, redownload and apply within out changes being made I still have the issue as shown on the image attached.
flut
Try to remove the folder graphics/pictures/kits/2d and reload the game. After that clear the cache and exit the game. Place that 2d folder again in the skin (if you want download the skin again and take that folder for the new download). Reload the game.
Funny_Emu
Hey @flut , awesome work as always. Can you point me in the direction where I can change the font colour of the attributes in the boxes? I'm playing around with the background colours and would like to change the font colour too if possible. Thanks

Please read the thread. Flut answered your question one site before:

Hi all
Some of you (kfihu and Bielsa for now) reported the “pale” attributes.
In fact I changed a little bit the attributes boxes colours in order to have smooth colours instead of more vivid colors. I also made the new analyser graphics with that colours for a perfect match between the attributes boxes colours and the ring colours. However, you can go back to the previous colours.
For that, go to the settings.xml and change
<!-- background attribute box colours Flut FM23-->
<colour name="unknown attribute background" red="146" green="82" blue="143"/>
<colour name="low attribute background" red="244" green="152" blue="152"/>
<colour name="normal attribute background" red="249" green="248" blue="140"/>
<colour name="good attribute background" red="204" green="237" blue="173"/>
<colour name="excellent attribute background" red="132" green="213" blue="124"/>
<!-- background attribute box colours Flut 20 v2
<colour name="unknown attribute background" red="146" green="82" blue="143"/>
<colour name="low attribute background" red="247" green="121" blue="121"/>
<colour name="normal attribute background" red="245" green="245" blue="85"/>
<colour name="good attribute background" value="green 200" />
<colour name="excellent attribute background" value="green" />-->

Thanks - I removed the 2d kits folder and reloaded the game. The red overlay box now has moved further left behind the front view of the shirts rather than back view. I have cleared cache and closed down FM. redownloaded the skin and taken the 2d kits folder and replaced in the folder directory. Reloaded the game and the issue still appears as shown on image attached “reapplied 2d kits”
IAmTheStag
Just to add that I have completely deleted all skins folder and redownloaded V4 again and replaced in a skins folder without making any alterations with add ons or edits and still have the issue. I have tried full screen mode instead of windowed also and no difference. I never had this issue before v4 which is strange. As a test I have tried other skins to see if I have the same overlay box issue on player profiles but I don't.. I have also noticed that the overlay box issue doesnt effect player profiles for players in German or French leagues
IAmTheStag
If I revert back to V3 skin then the issue doesn't appear. However if I use v4 skin but replace the player overview panel from v4 with the player overview panel from v3 the issue still appears so I do not think it is the player overview panel causing the issue either. It must be a different panel within player that has changed since v3 to v4?
flut
Have you some folder with 2D default kits in your graphics folder (of the game and not of the skin)?
flut
Thanks 6scholl6 for helping with the answers.
I believe that Funny_Emu want to know how change the colour of the value and not the boxes. If I am right, for change the colour of the attributes value it will be necessary change code lines in several xmls.
Maybe the best option is to do a search for code lines (in all the panels folder of the skin) that includes the following code
appearance="boxes/custom/attributes/paper"/>
after that, open each one of the files and in that line of code (and there are various also in the same file), you should change colour="black" for the colour you want.
IAmTheStag
only the default 2d kits extracted from resource archiver. I have never edited these folders since buying the game and extracting. I have however removed the 2d kits from C:\Users\NAME\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2023\graphics\kits and it seems to have fixed the issue! Thanks for the consistent help.
Has there been a change from V3 to V4 that caused this issue because it never seems to have been a problem before and I havent changed anything in my folder directory for downloaded kits?
flut
If the problem is fixed that are great news 🙂
I always believed that it was caused by some kind of folder with 2D kits since, as I supposed told you, I changed the Zoomed kits graphics for my skin. The problem was due that the game read your graphics folder before the graphics of the skin (I don't know why) and that zoomed graphics were displyaed (instead of the Zoomed graphics of the skin) causing that bug. I don't know why it happened now, only with the V4….
cheers
IAmTheStag
Makes sense. Great to get to the bottom of it. It isn't the hold 2d kits folders and files causing the issue. It is actually only the “Zoomed” files and folders causing it so I have removed those only and left the “default folder and files” of the 2d kits folders there and all is good!
Thanks very much for the support
Funny_Emu
Thanks for the response @flut …and for actually understanding what I was asking and not just assuming I didn't read the full thread. Will give it a go.
6scholl6
I´m sorry funny_emu. Doesn´t want to blame you.
Funny_Emu
No stress mate, it's all good 😉
aar0n
Thanks for the great update. I've moved the analysers and gone full polygon mode 🙂
flut
Thansk!!
Regarding your changes which seems great, I would like to look at the whole player overview panel….could you place a screenshot with all the panel?
aar0n
Here you go. I play in a 4k windowed resolution so I can multitask beside it. Some parts of the panel are a little squashed/not aligned, but it works for me nicely.
oskumustatuli
Hi. Great work @flut. I have a little problem allthough. In version 4 I can no longer change the background of Inbox-screen. “Darkness-percentages” cannot be adjusted also.. Is this how its supposed to be?
flut
Ah, ok. Thanks 🙂 In 4k you can do in that way. For 1920x1080 that analysers will be small and not ok….
flut
You can do it, but first you should remove the background named inbox included in graphics/backgrounds. The percentage of darkness is working but the values are not correct since I placed the 40% as default.
flut
Hi all
Now you can download the Version 5.0 of your FlutSkin with many changes!!
I hope you enjoy it!
cheers

Absolutely love this skin, it's bright, beautiful, and unique!
One of my favorite small add-ons that gave me a “wow" factor is the “ticket” that appears when going into a game. Love this feature, and love this small but creative bit of detail that definitely brightened my FM experience the first time I saw it. My only suggestion would be for the ticket to be competition-specific rather than always set to Champions League, if possible.
Other than that, love the skin! Thank you for you work with this.
EDIT: I'm seeing alternate tickets in the altsV5 folder, but am unsure how to get them to apply in the skin in-game. Typically I can only get the skin to work if I only use the fm2023flutskin_dark folder by itself without the alternate folder.
