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.

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.

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.

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
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.

No worries, it's a learning curve for all of us. Any non-default skin can alter the presentation of FM or enhance areas but it simply cannot alter or correct errors that exist in the hard coding of the game.

Liglere özel skor tabelası atamamız mümkün mü? Nasıl bir yöntem izlemeliyiz?
vonHolzminden
English please. We can´t help you.
eno_97
I'm sorry. Is it possible to assign special scoreboards to leagues? What method should we follow?
And
I couldn't manage to activate the new ones I added to this area. Can you help me? I want to activate Habertürk.

Hi Flut,
Thank you for the amazing skin. I love how much it implements the city and stadiums. I am having one problem with my stadium pictures. I am playing as Catania and when I go to the stadium overview I am missing one of the pictures. I have seen it there before, but suddenly it is not showing up anymore. Do you have any idea how to fix this? I can see the picture that is supposed to be there in the Competitions background, so I know it is in the downloaded city and stadiums pack, but not sure what to do.
Thanks.
Qvordrup
Hmm…. it is hard to tell exactly what you have done 🤷♂️, but you have somehow deleted the “stadium background” image. You must have moved things around… the good news is that the blank area means that your config is intact and all you have to do is to put a image in the image folder in the “stadium background” folder named 1164 (id of stadium) and everything will be alright 👍
NunoKopio
??' Beta skin was working.. but not now…
Leeds1919
Something badly wrong there
even your sidebar is not like Flut skin
do you have any other skins? If so delete them
skin works very well
NunoKopio
its a clean install and flut it at top
Leeds1919
Do you have more skins in the folder
NunoKopio
Solved it, it's my costum graphics .fmf file, just need to see what wrong on it
Nick Scire
Thanks for the help, do you think a simple delete all stadiums and background and then re-download will do the trick?
Qvordrup
yes… That will do it 👍

Hello, I get emails in my team inbox for “Team Selection Advice” about my next upcoming match with the recommended starters:
I was hoping to display their jersey numbers and thought it might be a setting in panels | team | “team selection advice panel.xml” but I don't see anything obvious (to me).
I was wondering if somebody could point me in the right direction?
Thanks for your time.

I love this skin but the camera device on top of my screen (MacBook Air) hides part of the players names. Can I adjust this to lower the top rubric?
eno_97
I can't activate alternative tickets and news. It doesn't appear as an option in the game. Can you help?

Awesome Job FLUT.

I love the Skin, but have come across these two issues:

Should Face Packs be downloaded to the FLUTSKIN graphics folder?
Leeds1919
No, graphics/faces

Hi Flut
Love the skin.
But in match, the shouts…. Top one ‘encourage’ already ‘greyed out’ as if hovered over, when it is hovered over…it turns blue like the others…. ??
flut
I didn't change anything in that popup. However, you are correct that button is already grey when the popup is displayed. I believe is the same in default skin. The difference is the fact that in default skin the buttons are all “grey/black” and we don't notice that. However, if you go with the mouse on that button you also can see that it not change nothing and, if you do the same, for example, on the top right button, you notice that it changes. I think this means that if the buttons qere not grey/black but coloured, the “encourage” button will also be different (already grey). I'm not sure about that, but this is waht it seems. I don't use other skins, however, if you use, what happens in other skins?
flut
Thanks. Regarding your question, no, sorry. It will be a hard work. I did it a few years ago and the number of downloads showed me that they not justified the work done.
flut
For use news and tickets in the alt folders you have to gave the pngs exactly the same name of the ones you will be remove. Of course the name of the “newspaper” and the ticket name will be the orifinals. For change that you should edit the “competition news panel.xml” (for news) and the “match team news panel.xml” (for tickets).
flut
Hi. Could you please show screenshots?
flut
I don't know why but it seems that panel doesn't accept the kit numbers (in the default skin there is also no kit numbers in that panel).
flut
Regarding the special scoreboards, I don't use them in the skin. I believe you can use them but you have to edit something in the skin (probably the match score area panel.xml). The other question I tried to answer it in other post for you.
Day Tripper
@flut is the competition screen showing correctly here, am I right in thinking there should be an image of the PL trophy next to the Premier League logo on the left-hand-side?
Day Tripper
I'm pretty sure there always has been when I've been using your skin before - I think I must have done something, but not sure what? Do you know how I can get the Trophies back next to the competition logo? @flut
Day Tripper
Also, competition logo is now missing from Club title bar, here @flut
