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.

Hello @flut been meaning to ask this for a while…

 

I use the alt for match titlebar without managers - timer left. had no issues until a more recent update (V6). everything works as expected, except for the Carabao and FA Cup where instead of the custom titlebar (like i see for friendlies and EPL) I get this (also the clock doesn't show as it must be white font on white background). any advice as i tried all the steps again (including in comps folder) but no change.

Hi flut,

 

Can you help me…???

I don't know what happen with “player overview popup selector panel” because in this picture is everyhing OK but in the picture 2 doesn't work right. My resolution is 100% standard and window mode in 4k.

 

Thank you a lot…!!!

 

If you put the mouse in the last player of the list (Michael Gash), show it the wrong way…It's very rare

Hi. I really don't know what happens and is weird. In my game is okay. Therefore, I really don't know how to help you…sorry. Maybe is due the fact that that player have also two profiles (for player and for staff) and the game shows another line for a tab bar…But I'm not sure and for analyse that it will be necessary to have something similar and I have not yet.

Hi mackboss

 

Thanks for let me know! I started a new game for take a look on that problem and, indeed it is there. I believe I found the problem, however after some tests I couldn't find a way to solve it. 

The problem is indeed related to the fact that Gash have two profiles (as player and as staff). There is a xml responsible for that code. However, everytime I try to change the code the problem still remains. In fact the game assumes the “layout” of the staff popup (which is narrower than the layout/box of the player popup) but the “code” of the player popup, which is weird but is what happens. I tried to find how can we change the width of that popup boxes in order to increase the width of the staff/non-player popup box….but, without success. I really don't know how to change the width of the player/non player popup panels. Of course I could try to adapt the information in the panel. However the information in the player popup will be also changed.And between get worse the player popup or keep the bug in a panel which israrely displayed, I prefer not change anything and live with this bug 🙂

I believe there is a conflict with other skins in your game. Please keep only this skin (and this version) in the skins folder of the game, clear the cache and reload the game.

Hi mackboss

 

I decided to work on that panel. Now is fixed. I had to remove the back kit in order to have both the player popup and the player/non player popup working without bugs. I believe at the end is not bad 🙂

Here are the files (one for player folder and the other for non player folder)
