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

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
- the citypics pack, the kits adapted for FLUTSKIN, Logos and "normal" 2D kits are not included in the pack.

If you only use the alt 1 I believe is not related to that. Maybe you are using other addons such as for the pitch/grass and causes that bug…I really don't know and I don't understand why it bug happens…Is the first time reported and, as you could see, is okay in my game…
flut
Thanks DasZ!! You also contributed to this!!!
Hello.
one Question: @flut do you include some features, that are shown fine, “only” if we have to buy and activate the “Football Manager 2024 In-game Editor” in the Game?
because i am thinking of, to buy the fm24 + or without the ingame Editor. in last years, i never bought and use that editor, but i read, that you have some features, and i want to use all your Features, so thats the reason, i ask you.
Cheers.
Edit: and second question: did your skin include the competition colour fix or do you recommend to include that file manually?

Hi Luke. Yes. All the stuff regarding the hidden attributes only works well if we have the ingame Editor. However, if you don't intend to see hidden attributes you don't need to buy the IGE, because all other things work well without it.
Cheers and thanks.
Regarding the second question, the skin doesn't include that. I didn't try it in the skin. Thus I don't know if causes somekind of problem, although I believe not.

Hi Flut, where in the player overview panel can i reduce the font size for height, age, weight?
flut
Hi
For that option, you can edit them in player flut card.xml, lines 128-163

Hello
it cuts my players off in tactics and my stamina is not there in %, how can I change it
flut
Hi. That problems are due your screen resolution. The skin works well in the resolution I explain in the skin presentation. You also can try the icons only in the sidebar (as I recommended), but don't expect that the skin works completely well with your screen resolution. And don't forget to clear the cache, keep only this skin in the skins folder of the game, and reload the game. As you can see in my screenshot, altough I highly recommend the sidebar icons only, if you have the resolution requirements, even with the large sidebar the skin works well in many panels (such as the tactics panel)

Thanks, works perfect at “9”
flut
Great!! 🙂

@flut not sure if it's been logged with you already, but at top of the skin in the right corner under the skin support menu, ‘forum’ has a spelling mistake in it.
Evil-Muffin7
use this attached to replace ‘socialmedia’ found in: fm2024flutskin_dark\menus
Or change the text on line 11: <translation id="text" type="use" value="Flut Skin Foruns"/>
xbenjaminx
It doesn't matter too much to me, I was just thinking for the purposes of fixes in future releases but thanks for the solution

Good day FLUT - much appreciation as always - my question is regarding the "player attributes". Is it this skin that is causing the range of an attribute to look like “13-17” rather than showing the actual attribute of “15”? If so, please advise how I can get the actual attribute number and the CA/PA to show for all players, not just my team.
Thank you
flut
Thanks Bejamin and Evil-Muffin. In portuguese language is “fóruns”….I left the “n” there. Sorry for the mistake.
Evil-Muffin, if you want you can use this files (place them in graphics/boxes). Please tell e if is okay for you now.

I don't use other addons. But i solved the problem by going back to the FM skin and than reload your great skin which i use as long as you made it.
Evil-Muffin7
Hi Flut, it looks better on the eyes as i'm so used to the dark colours, if you do make an alt for next update that'll be great if not no worries.
Hovis Dexter
I really like the addition of the icons on the tactics screen showing the players' footedness (if that's a word)
flut
Thanks. Regarding your quetion, I didn't understand it. Sorry. Could you please place a screenshot?
flut
Great you solved the bug!!
And thanks for your kind words and preference 🙂
flut
Yes. Maybe I will opted to use this new graphics with the transparency as default 🙂
flut
Thanks Dexter Hovis! And also thank you for your donation!!!! 🙂
Hovis Dexter
You are very welcome.
Onyewu
If this isn't from your skin (didn't see this in last year's skin), which panel would need to be removed or altered?
Thanks
flut
That is not related to the skin. When you start a new game you should change that option (I don't remember exactly if you have to “tick” or “untick” the option related to that; however is easy to find that option)
Onyewu
OK….I understand that…I always leave unchecked to as to “not” hide the attributes….so I have an oddity I guess…..I'll survive :-)
vincenzo gaudiosi
Hi, how do I change the colors of the player quality profile? In the change skins color setting I change them but in the game they remain the same, I also tried clearing the cache, thanks.
Darkside63
What do you mean? These boxes?
I think, I have explained earlier in this thread, where these can be changed…
Manuel Frembs
Thank you so much for this great skin!
I tried everything to hide the CA/PA, tried the attributeless skin too, which I really love! I know that there are alternative files - but it shows always the PA.
Do I have to purchase the Ingame-Editor? Can it solve the problem?
