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.

Hi flut,

Can you answer me a trouble about the skin of football manager 2022, the last version (6.0)….????

When I have the press, the background isn't the press picture, is the background that i choose in the selector. And I don't touch anything inside the skin, nothing. I just put how you create, nothing more…and this is the screen :

Can you help me….????

Thank you and cheers…

 

I got the same problem If I remove fluts standard press image If have a blank screen? As I would like to see the standard press image with the logos in the background#lost

Try with the folder “alt for skin without backgrounds”. I think that folder solve the problem…

abc_sort made me a challenge regarding a “thing” that, indeed, before his challenge, I already had try without success: include player pictures in the subs bench in tactics screen. But I decided to accept that challenge. Thus, after many tests and some hours of work I consider that I got it. Is not perfect because I couldn't make the kit work but, honestly, I like the result! What do you think?

Hi and thanks.

Regarding your question, I made a test (including the IGE in the titlebar) but without success. It seems the game dosn't accept the IGE in Titlebar….

Quick question, just noticed that the Year Founded area on the club details page is offset from the club logo banner. Any fix for this?

bartdudeluffyBielsa is a Legendfififi980: thanks for your support and positive feedback! I had not much time to edit the skin on these days (I only increased a little the height of inbox heading, made all the boxes of "match inbetween highlights" draggable in the height and width for use them  according the personal taste of each one, and the changes in tactics panel I showed you…). Thus, I don't know when I will have changes that justify a new update….

 

Tooomej: please read the pdf I included in the skin pack (Stadium CONFIGS Flutskin FM.pdf) where I explain how should be the configs for all stadiums work in the right places.

 

 Jacob Fine: go to club overview panel.xml and in the following code, increase the value of the top inset (now 36)

<widget class="dashed_number_label" spec="text" style="bold" id="CyfV" size="11" colour="secondary" alignment="centre_x,top" auto_size="vertical">

<boolean id="NumF" value="0"/>

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="-2" />

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="36" />

<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" />

Hello Flut,

 

I have 2 questions for you :

 

  1. Do you know what i can do to see the build year ("année de construction" in french) fully ?

 

2. On the panel “calendrier”, is it possible to invert the colors : Grey for team 1 ; the other for Team2 and U19 ? Or change the color for team 1 so that the matchs of team 1 are better seen compared to the other teams ?

Hi. For the second one I don't know how to do it since I never edit that.

Regarding the stadium, go to club overview stadium91.xml and change the following code

 

<container >
    <layout class="arrange_horizontal_attachment" layout="-5,1,-4,1,-4,1,-5" offset="0" />

 

for

HI Flut,

 

Do you know why certain team have badge and stuff while others dont?

It's nothing to do with the skin, it's about omissions in your graphics folder, either the logos being absent or errors in your config file. Also make sure that the flutskin is the only one in your skins folder, then clear the cache and reload skin. If the problem persists, you need to return to your graphics/pictures/logos folder and correct any errors.

My friend, this skin is excellent. I would like to know if there is a way to change it to instead of appearing in the player's nationality, instead of appearing the emblem of the country's federation, the country's flag appears
