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 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.

Great.
Yes,1920x1080 is the “right” resolution. In order to have all the skin stuff working well you should play with icons only in the sidebar.

@flut not working, now this happens if i click to compare:
DobarMatheo
@flut and looking now like this 😕
flut
Try this one and let me know if is okay.
smurfybaby
Hi mate firstly thank you for the skin just got a 4k monitor and it’s magnificent just have one question it’s probably already been answered but can’t find anything on it.
is there any way I can remove the kits from the player profile pic section so I just see player face and background pic. Thank you
Humberto21
@flut I promise, it's the last one.. (at least I hope 😂)
During the match, it seems that the skin can't remember to enter the "home" and "away" lineup under the correct column.
Now, I know that I can manually change the formations, but I was wondering if it was possible to make the skin be set to remember that in the "formation" in the lower left is the club that plays at home, and equally in the "formation" at the bottom right there is both the club and the away games.
Indeed, the skin seems to have the team playing at home as the first selection, and the team playing away as the second, but unfortunately it seems that this choice is unable to "remember" it in subsequent games.
flut
Hi. Once, a few months ago it also happened in my game. Suddenly those panels started to not remember the “home” and “away”. I can´t explain why. I have not a solution since the code for “save current state” is there. However, in my case, I'm not sure, but I believe I chose the correct boxes and left the game. Then I cleared the cache and loaded the game again. As I remember it worked.
flut
Hi.
What is the option you use? Could you please show me a screenshot?
DobarMatheo
@flut Thank you very much! Now it is, how it should be 🙂
Tim44
@flut Thanks!
goldgans
Thanks, but with the functions I can't get delete the two jerseys. Probably, a graphic or config setting must delete somewhere in the flood folder. But I don't find that.
……………….
Edit
OK, that's done. Found the relevant panel kits.

Hey @flut - came across another issue in the in-game engine that I was hoping you could help me with. I had the same issues in FM22 and you told me which code to alter. I have tried the same here, but to no success.
The match in between highlights panel - the panels are not lined up properly. I need to make main / middle panel with player name bigger, stretch across to left of screen. I have tried playing around with some values, but only seem to alter the furthest left panel. I have tried dragging it in game, but that is max. See pic.
Humberto21
Your suggestion doesn't seem to work at the moment, maybe it will "fix" itself 😂 Luckily that's something that can be fixed in-game 👍
in any case, thanks 🙂
flut
In the match in between highlights panel try to increase the value 1573 in lines 8, 94 and 95. Reload the game.
flut
Yes it can be fixed in-game. However, that “bug” is annoying…Sorry for not helping you 😢
Humberto21
Never mind, I will very fondly remember the work you created for the home panel "calendar" 👍 (I really appreciated!) And then that "bug" is the least "annoying" due to the fact that during a game I often pause to make changes to tactics etc etc 🙂

Legend. Thank you.

Hola, lo primero darte la enhorabuena porque es una skin increíble. Si me permites me gustaría hacerte unas consultas.
flut
Hi
Vitinho10
Me podrías mandar una captura de cómo tienes colocadas las carpetas de logos y banderas para que salgan los iconos de país, selección y competición en la pantalla
Gracias 🙏

Hey guys, does anybody know how to get this skin work with a 3440x1440 screen. Tried out a few options but didnt get it to work properly. Thanks in Advance and Greetings!

Hello
Love your skin
I installed a stadium pack, and it rotates my stadium pictures with your placeholder.
I found the folder with you placeholders in, and deleted them. now it rotates my stadiums with a black screen
Any idea of how to resolve this please.
It think there is a similar problem with the city picture, but Ihave not installed those yet.
<edit> I tried to work this out for myself…
is this because you have
<record from="98040407" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/98040407/stadium"/>
<record from="98040407" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/98040407/background"/>
and it is rotating the two images?
Do I need a separate image pack for stadium “background”?
I downloaded a stadium minipack (as it was significantly smaller)… Do the 3GB packs have both?
Sorry… I only bought the game last night, and I am still working it all out
Many thanks in advance
Bielsa is a Legend
You need 2 packs
backgrounds and stadium insides-both are in the backgrounds pack on this great site
Charly0309
OK… I was hoping to avoid another 3gb download.
Thanks mate!

Hello and thanks for the skin! I'm having an issue with the kits assigned to players in some panels after somehow interacting with them in the scouting window. The skin is showing my team's default skin instead of the player's current team kit. Here is an an example:
Yavin
To add to my last post, i would also like to know if it's possible to remove those kits showing next to player pic on their profile, or show only the front kit. Thanks!
Charly0309
Hello…
A simple question (I hope)
During a match, Id like to add in a “condition” column to the stats.
At the moment, the only way to see everyones condition is to look along horizontally across the bottom. I fnd this really hard to do at a glance, so I need to keep checking “subs” to get this info.
Is there a way for me to edit the xml file for the stats (panel 2) under “general info”.
Or perhaps I am missing a tab that already has that (I couldnt see one…)
Many thanks, dude!
Spursssss Fan!
Love the skin although when I check a player the number is bigger than the shirt… sorry if this has been asked before!
flut
Hi
you should use the front kits adapted for flutskin.
You can download the pack here in sourtitoutsi:
