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.

You also can do other thing in match inbetween highlights panel.xml
In the top of the panel you can see:
<integer id="TbWs" value="650"/> <!-- 0 - 1360 -->
<integer id="TbWm" value="1010"/> <!-- 1360 - 1920 -->
<integer id="TbWl" value="1573"/> <!-- 1920 up -->
Between code lines 89 and 96 you also can see the following
<record>
<flags id="alignment" value="horizontal" />
<integer id="min_value" value="1920" />
<integer id="max_value" value="10000" />
<symbol id="set_property" value="width" />
<integer id="true_value" value="1573" />
<integer id="false_value" value="1573" />
</record>

Itś crazy I do that and in Premier league I have jerseys on the left side correct, but in Czech or Slovak League I donť have 😀 and I donť have the jerseyes as you next to the picture of the player in Czech and England to as the picture 1cz.png. Now I really don't know what might be wrong …
flut
THanks.
That is the opacity of all the normal panels of the skin. Thus, for make it less opaque you can do it changing the opacity % in the background selector.
flut
I didn't understanf what are you talking about. Sorry…Could you please show a screenshot?
flut
If you used the alt files. Now you should return to those files you removed when you applied the alt. Other solution, if you don't have them anymore is download again the skin.
flut
Because the skin uses the default view for licensed competitions. However, if you want, you can try the alt 17 - alt flutskin scoreboard,etc Licensed Comps - which is included in the pack.

Hi I'm loving the Fifa icons in the numbers but for some reason they don't show on numbers that are black and aren't showing fully for all players?
Is there a fix for this please
Nobby56x
flut
The problem is that tottenham have the colour of the number and the color of the border line of the number as the same blue. If you have the Ingame Editor you just have to edit the number changing the blue used in the border of the number to white. Look at my screenshot after changed.
Kinkladze10
oh thanks perfect, I don't have the editor as I have it on game pass, how do I get it? It's just Tottenham and Derby County I need changing
flut
You have to buy it in steam or directly from the game in the FM menu, downloads, since the IGE is paid.
knipser666
it works…thank you FLUT and for your excellent work with the best skin for the FM series
Kinkladze10
thanks I got the editor, will give it a go. I'm using some custom kit packs and they have fmf files in my editor data so do I need to edit those?
ElvisMan
Kinkladze10
So I'm in this screen on the editor but I cant see where to change just the number colour?
ElvisMan
Thanks @bartdude I appreciate your assistance again, in my case the Notable Events size was perfect. I was directed to a previous reply from @flut and I ended up having to increase my resolution in lines 5, 94 and 95 and then I was able to stretch the panel all the way to the left. As you can see in this image it looks much better.
I'm not sure if it's because I have TV logo in the way but I'm actually unable to make my right hand panels taller or shorter by dragging them.
I just have to figure out how to reclaim this space, I don't mind not having any tv logo, I think I just need to find the correct <container> to remove from .xml
Cheers
bartdude
I'm not a skinner, so no doubt there's more than one answer to an issue and the man himself naturally knows just about all of them. My setting worked for me, I run at 4k with 125% zoom. Glad you got it sorted.
flut
Your answer was also correct Bartdude! Is, in fact, other way to remove that empty space, And thanks for helping me with answering so many questions 🙂
cheers, and thank you, my friend.
flut
Look at my screenshots.
The first shows the menus displayed when we click on IGE. I choose there “edit kit details”
The second one is the popup displayed as soon as we click on edit kit details. As you can see, now the number outline colour is white. In your game will be blu. You just have to change it.

Flut 2D kits for nations?
I've followed the instructions so have got my clubs kits showing but nations it won't work.
Can I check the instructions please as it's not clear.
For nations I have done what it says here FOR NATIONS DO THE SAME BUT IN STEP 1, nº 7, in the cell “replace/change with” type nation.
See screenshot but they still don't show?
Club kits are fine.
For nations I have done what it says here FOR NATIONS DO THE SAME BUT IN STEP 1, nº 7, in the cell “replace/change with” type nation.
Kinkladze10
Ah just realized I only have the pre game editor sadly so can't change it 😢
bartdude
You're welcome buddy. It's only right we support and contribute to your great work and in understanding a little of what you do. If we can help others and take some of the load off you, post-creation, so to speak, then it's a pleasure. It's also a great self-learning process for me. Cheers !
Leeds1919
Really impressive how some guys are developing from the master
way beyond my capabilities 🙂
flut
For nations, the config of the kits should be
<record from="albania1" to="graphics/pictures/nation/752/logo/background/left"/>
<record from="albania2" to="graphics/pictures/nation/752/"/>
<record from="albania3" to="graphics/pictures/nation/752/"/>
Kinkladze10
Thanks is there a way to edit them using the tool in the instructions though?
flut
You can do exactly the same as for clubs but, instead of change team for club, you should change team for nation.
Kinkladze10
Thank you so if I have understood correctly it should be entered like this?
6. In the cell named “Folder”, browse to the new 2D kits you created
7. In the cell “find/search what” type team
8. In the cell “replace/change with” type nation
9. Click on “replace on files”
Step 2 1. In the cell “find/search what” type kits/nation
2. In the cell “replace/change with” type logo/background/left 3. Click on “replace on files”
ElvisMan
@flut again, I appreciate the time you have spent and continue to spend developing this skin and answering all of these questions.
How can I remove the TV logo and reclaim that little space between the title bar and the in match panels?
Cheers
flut
Go to match titlebar.xml and remove the follwing code
<!-- Logo Options-->
<widget class="icon_button" id="inst" icon="icons/tv logos/tv logo" label_disabled="true" alignment="right" icon_alignment="right" height="26" appearance="">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="right" inset="5"/>
<animation class="translate_animation" start_value="1, 0" end_value="0, 0" duration="0.5" delay="0.8" end_mode="hold_end" tween="ease_out" coord_mode="relative_to_target" />
</widget>

Sorry, bro I use flutskin and I thought the problem was caused by the skin, so I asked the question here. Sorry
