Dear all

This is FLUTSKIN FM24 

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. 
 
If you already know FLUTSKIN from the last seasons you already know what you wil find. It should be noted that if you expect to find a different style of the FLUTSKIN you will be disappointed. If you like it as it is last year you will be satisfied since the FLUTSKIN for FM24 is like FLUTSKIN for FM23 (there are just small things changed after the final version of FLUTSKIN for FM23). 

In FlutSkin you can find so many changes comparing to the default skin that I can’t present all of them here  (you can see a part in the screenshots) . I suggest you to go through the panels in order to see with your eyes all the changes!! For now, the pack doesn't include alt files. However, if you wantm you can use the alts for FM23 since I believe almost of them work properly in this version.

 

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

 

BETA 1 - VERSION - As the other FLUTSKINS this version includes: instant result (in tactics and during the match); citypics availability, home page, player page, club page, match inbetween highlights with many tabs for choosing, etc, etc.

 

THIS VERSION INCLUDES ALSO MANY ALT FILES. FOR USING THEM, PLEASE READ THE FILE read me for alt files.pdf.

All the reported bugs were fixed

A few teaks were done

 

PLEASE NOTE THAT 

  1. the citypics pack, the kits adapted for FLUTSKIN, Logos and "normal" 2D  kits are not included in the pack.
  2. AFTER EXTRACT THE SKIN FOLDER YOU SHOULD LOOK INSIDE THE FOLDER. THE FOLDER WITH THE SKIN NAME IS THAT ONE YOU SHOULD PLACE IN THE SKINS FOLDER
  3. IF YOU ARE PLAYING WITH THE PROPERLY RESOLUTION AND SIDEBAR ICONS ONLY  YOUR PANELS SHOULD BE DISPLAYED EXACTLY AS IN THE SCREENSHOTS. IF NOT, CONSIDER THAT THERE IS A CONFLICT WITH OTHER SKINS: CLEAR THE CACHE, KEEP ONLY THIS SKIN IN THE SKINS FOLDER OF THE GAME AND RELOAD THE GAME.

  • New club overview panel (new staff pictures and information with rotating animation; new tab regarding “derbies”; layout tweaked).

PLEASE NOTE:

  1. If the skin doesn’t have the same stuff as in the screenshots and you are playing with my recommended Resolution requirements, please consider to clear the cache, keep only this skin and this skin version in the skins folder of the game and reload the game.
  2. Before asking something, please look at the read me files. There are 7 read me files which I believe answer many questions regarding the skin.
  3. When you report bugs or present requests, please show screenshots showing what you are talking about.

 

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.

@flut 
Could you advise me on how I can change the colour of the first team blue box please, tried everything I thought was controlling it but no luck.
 

 

Hi Dazs8

I tried to find where is the code responsible for that, without success. I could find the code for that boxes. However not regarding the colour (maybe is hard coded…).  I noticed that that colour is the same in the default skin.

The code is in process calendar day panel.xml and is:

 

 <widget class="table" id="TraT" layout="-1"  mode="fill_rows" height="86" row_spacing="2" hidden="true">
  <boolean id="auto_size_rows" value="true"/>
  <string id="fixed_size_rows" value="false"/>
  <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" inset="2"/>
  <!-- Filled in code -->
 </widget>

How could I change city pictures width to see as stadium's inside pictures?

 

Also stadium's background are very wide and seems weird.

 

 

 

 

Playing windowed mode, 2560x1080.

 

 

 

Also, is there any way to eliminate background boxes on stats?

So anything beyond this will lead to unwanted effects in diaplyed pictures - as you're mentioning… 😉

Found how to change it, had to add into the settings file the following…
 <colour name="match day training calendar colour" red="10" green="195" blue="195"/>
For some reason that does both the calendar and the box in processing/

Hi

If you want to reduce a little bit the citypic, you can increase the values of inset (all and/or top, and/or horizontal, and/or left) in the following code (in club overview panel.xml). Use trial and error method in order to adjust as you want

 

       <container >
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0" scale_picture="true" apply_to_children="true" />
<widget class="background" file="backgrounds" id="bgnd">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="0" />
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" inset="0" />
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" offset="0" gap="0" />
<record id="object_property">
<integer id="get_property" value="bgnd" />
<integer id="set_property" value="file" />
</record>
</widget>  
 </container>

Hello Flut, is it possible to have stadiums backgrounds when we play in 2D like few years ago ( maybe 10 years actually ) or not ? Anyway, you are the best. Thanks for everything !

Gents,

 

is there a quick way to switch color in the panel headers (only there would be fine) from team colour to black/white?

 

I already switched the left menu bar to the black one included in the skin and would like to do the same with the different panel headers.

Hi 

You can use the alt 19. It is prepared for grey, but you can change it for black if you want.

My apologies as I am a bit naive technically. I was wondering why I can't see everything on my screen as it truncates…no other skin does this? Will this be correct when the non beta FLUT skin comes out. This appear during match play when the away team name only appears partially and I can not see the pause/continue button at all.

Mr. Flute Hello. thank you for your reply. Does that mean that the solution is to update? Personally, I would like player data to be added because I want it even in cup matches. It would be helpful if you could let me know if possible.

You need to look in the alt folder that comes with the skin, instructions on how to do this and other useful files are in there.
 Also you have the wrong default kit behind my friend, you need the SS kits one, you are using the FC12 that comes by default with the skin.

Yeah, I have already changed font size on player numbers, but still kits are overlaping. I have also changed to SS Kits now.

 

 

Also it will be great, if Player Panel 2,3,4 etc. will have this panel of the same size- as for now, every one of them looks different.

Also is there any chance of creating version that is compatible with WQHD resolution- it will be amazing 🙂

 

Thanks in advance for answers. 🙂
