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!!

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

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 all
Sorry for my absence but I really haven't had time to look at your questions.
Thank you all of you who still help in answer the questions. 🙂
As we know, the new FM is almost available. Thus, I will consider that my work regarding this FM23 skin is done. Thus, please don't expect that I will answer to other new questions and requests. I can't promise that. Sorry.
Cheers and thank you all of you for your kindness and great support!!
Here are some answers I could see that was no answered yet:
alexgr4
For the first question go to match team stats ibh bottom2.xml and/or match team stats ibh bottom3.xml and change
<flags id="default_view" value="gnIn" />
For
<flags id="default_view" value="msc1" />
Regarding the circle with percentages, as you can see is there in my game….
riVAR26_6_11
You should have the Ingame Editor for that box work well. If you don’t have it, the information will be cut since it use several hidden attributes. Thus, if you don’t intend to buy the ingame editor, please choose other box in the drop down arrow.
Immolate
The skin have that column only in the “Selection Info” view. If you don’t see it, clear the cache, exit the game, keep this skin only in the skins folder of the game and reload it.
If you want to include it in other views, you should include the following code in that views in team squad tactics panel.xml
<record id="PRCF" width="70" auto_hide_priority="9" />

Bom dia Sr. Flut
Muito obrigado pelo seu pacote incrível.
Peço sua ajuda. Como posso alterar a cor das caixas (Propriedades do jogador) e (Posições)? Por exemplo, se eu quiser fazer a cor azul em vez da cor verde.
Por favor, desculpe meu português, o Google Tradutor cometeu todos os erros. 🙂)
Atenciosamente, KokoLakiss da Turquia

Good morning Mr. Flut
Thank you so much for your amazing package.
I need for your helps.
How can I change the color of the (Player Properties) and (Positions) boxes? For example, if I want to make the color blue instead of the color green.
Please excuse my Portuguese, Google Translate made all the mistakes. 🙂)
Kind regards, KokoLakiss from Türkiye

@flut Thank you!

We become indebted to. The uniforms on the team profile no longer appear after installing 24 Season 2D KIDS. Also the scoreboard. I'm looking for the cause, but I haven't been able to resolve it. Could you please help me? Should I try again?
By the way, I also checked reloading the skin.
Leeds1919
The kits go in graphics / pictures
the logo kits are for player profile
WerderFlo

WerderFlo

Leeds1919

Leeds1919
WerderFlo

Leeds1919

FLUT skin works pretty well in FM24
Im sure there will be the odd issue that Flut will sort / refine in due course, but for now im happy
mercholein
Hi Bielsa,
how could you import the skin ? I downloaded, put the unpacked folder into skin folder, but when i want to import it in preferences, it doesn't show up for me…
any help maybe ?
Leeds1919
Edit the skin config to 24.0.0 so the game finds it
Qvordrup
If you want Bielsa to read this you either reply to his comment or “tag” him. you put a @ in front of his user name and when writing his username the spaces has to be : Bielsa_is_a_Legend @Bielsa is a Legend
Leeds1919
Don’t worry, I’m happy to help with my limited knowledge
im nowhere near as savvy as some here, but I use trial and error, and this worked last year, so I did same for 2024 and it works until @flut has the time to update, which hopefully he will
when the raw game is released, it really brings home all the great work the modders do for us
DazS8
will give it a go
Leeds1919
@DazS8 it’s the config in the skin to edit, so where it was 23.0.0 just change to 24.0.0
hope it works for you buddy
DazS8
Yes done it for a few years but usually like to wait for full Flut edition, but you are right at least its better than the bland default skins
bartdude
Not only is the flutskin more or less the same as in FM23 but also glad to report that kits, logos and balls all work well in FM24. Not installed the big files (faces and backgrounds) yet because I was impatient to play ! Hopefully they'll be fine. Loving FM24 so far, as it's not just the re-hash of FM23 that many cynics suggested it would be. FM25 will be awesome with the new match engine.
Leeds1919
I agree mate, spent most of the time so far setting up than playing, everything seems to work so far
”working” from home today, so will get cracking on the game
DazS8
Everything bar adboards installed mate, all good
Darkside63
Mostly it works very smoothly.
However, some Buttoncolour changed. Particularly within interactive Inbox Messages.
It's now yellow with white coloued text - almost unreadable 🙂 In the past this used to be a a darker box (some sort of blue) with white text and was perfect.
For better visualisation, I added two screenshot of the buttons in FM24 vs FM23
So I think we will for sure need some adjustemnt and tweak here and there but for the beginning it's just so much better than the boring original skin…
Leeds1919
Its a good start, hopefully just a few tweaks from the skinmaster
