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.

Hi
Here is a .pdf, explaining how adapt the comeptition logos folder and the trophies folder for using in titlebar of Flutskin.
Day Tripper
Thanks, that has worked! I'm sure it used to work by default though and I never had to do this before - do you know why that is @flut ?
Day Tripper
I have done this for the Trophy on the Competition title bar and it's all fine.
To get the competition logo on the right of the Club overview title bar do I need to change ‘comp' in the config line below to ‘club’ @flut?
flut
No. You don't need to do that. You just have to do as I expalin in the pdf 🙂
Day Tripper
Ahh yes, ok all sorted now! Now I can't decide whether I want the competition logo there or the nation round flag - tough decision! 🙂
Do you know why the trophies used to show as logo left by default, but now I had to do manually?
flut
Yes. If you don't use the adapted logos/trophies, the trophy in the competition titlebar is shown. However, if you use the trophies adapted you will see two trophies pictures side by side (the “normal” and that one with the new config ). That´s why for everything wwork well you should use the logos also adapted (them it shows the trophy and the comeptition logo on the top left, and the competition logo, in the top right.
This is how should be your competition titlebar
Qvordrup
If you are using the metallic logo pack, then all you have to do is to copy the logos from the normal folder to the back right folder in the competitions folder. Same procedure for club logos copy from normal to back right. The trophies has to be copied from the trophies folder to back left of the competitions folder. Back left of nations is national home kits and back left of clubs is club home kits.
And remember only to copy logos and not configs 👍🙂

Hi Flut,
Everything great.
However….
Team sheet has Subs single numbers Font Massive !
See pic the 4 and 6 ?!?
Where can I make the same as the selected team ?
Thanks
Barthelemy90
@flut How can i fix missing player attributes field? I've clicked on empty item on the drop list and now i can not revert this 😢
Raysson123
Ah okay, I just started playin FM recently.
Can you tell me something about the other point? Is it possible that the other kit is not displayed on the background and only the home kit is visible?
Thanks and br
Magnus Gustavsen
flut
Thanks.
That numbers are adjusted by the game and the fact that that 4, 11 and 6 are huge have nothing to do with the skin. According the number of substitutes, the game adjusts the font size.
flut
Hi. If you look at the citcle you did, you have the down arrow over the blue arrow of the button. Just click on it.
flut
You can reduce the font size (now is 28) in titlebar search panel.xml in the following line of the code:
<widget class="text" id="sect" font="match report scoref" alignment="left, centre_y,can_scale" size="28" style="bold" multiline="false" auto_size="horizontal" wants_mouse_events="false" dont_give_default_focus="true"
Magnus Gustavsen
Sorry I am new to this, where do search for the file that I am suppose to change? 🙂
Darkside63
You will find it in your skin in panels\generic folder…
eno_97
I tried this, but since there is also a jersey mode, the jerseys remain on the left side. How can we fix it? and It also created a problem.
spect
I love the skin but players condition % is missing for me 😢
flut
You did something wrong. In fact, you are using the logos as left background logos, and not the kits as left background logos. That's why instead of kits you have logos. You should read the pdf I included in the pack regarding this stuff. The pdf is “2D kits adapted for Flutskin.pdf”.
flut
Is a conflict with other skins. Please remove all the other skins and keep only this skin version in the skins folder of the game. Clear the cache, exit the game and reload it.
flut
Hi all. Just one question: the shortcut for reload the skin is working in your game?
Thank you!!
Darkside63
Yes, it does…
flut
Thanks.
For me the shift+r do nothing! I can't reload a skin (in FM24 from the beta version). Thus, I always have to change for default skin and return to the skin in order to look at some changes I did in the skin…which is boring!!!
Darkside63
Well, this is NOT necessary unless you ADD graphical elements… which usually DO require a skin reload. But then you can always use:
Works fine for me all the times…
However, as long as you're actually working on XML code, what helps tremendously is, putting a file named “config.xml” inot the “panels" subfolder of your skin.
it only needs to contain:
<record>
<!-- preload the stuff in this folder -->
<boolean id="preload" value="false"/>
<!-- cache the xml files in this folder -->
<boolean id="cache" value="false"/>
</record>
When there and the skin is loaded, all changes do directly apply by simply changing to a different panel and return to where you're currently working at.
This has only two exceptions:
flut
Thanks! And yes, I know what you told me. The problem is, indeed, when we are changing something in the cases you report…But, don't care about it. I asked only in order to know if was a SI bug or a bug in my game/pc. Thanks!!

flut
Great job DazS8!!!
Thank you!!
Magnus Gustavsen
Cheers. And all I do is to downscale the number from 28 to lets say 26 and it should work?
eno_97
Isn't it possible to see the jerseys in the jersey section and the tournaments in the club logo section on the top left? Because both parts use background/left extension.
