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.

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.

I'm not sure if the issue was discussed. Is it possible to change the view during the match so that the team name bar is one color without a gradient?
bartdude
Absolutely not, the gradation stops the team shirt being bleached out.
gulchynsky
As someone preferes. This wasn't the case in previous versions and it played well.
Day Tripper
Will the Skin need to be updated following the FM24 update released today, or should it all still work fine?
bOOmer
Yeah….I can´t find where to place my own manager face after the update (and added the Real Name fix too….maybe thats why)
vincenzo gaudiosi
Hello, I can't find the explanation of how to change the colors of the skin of the players' attributes
knug3
Hello. Can't find where I can upload a picture of me as a manager in the new version
Leeds1919
That’s a game issue not the skin
its an example of SI coding excellence
Darkside63
You mean like how Newgans are addressed now in config.xml ?
Yeah, I see your point… Sounds like the good old, fix somehting, break two other things instead of it…

Can someone please help me out with the few issues below?
I have followed the instructions to move and resize the name and numbers for my resolution, but im having a few other issues i can't workout, or find the information to correct myself.
Thanks for any advice.

@flut is it possible that you give a screenshot by the alt information for alt 6 / alt 15 / alt 20 / alt 21?
flut
Hi.
Go to match incidents left score.xml and also match incidents right score.xml and in the 2nd code of match incidents left score.xml change left for paper2. Do the same for the match incidents right score.xml, changing “right” for paper2. Exit the game and reload it.
flut
To the best of my knowledge, yes. There is a bug in the reserves availability, when we try to set all players (in inbox panel) but that bug is not related to the skin since it also happens in the default skin.
flut
Yes. The code has removed and the old code doesn't work. So, for use a own manager profile picture you will have to add your own picture to the "player picture folder" with the ID of you as a manager. According an explanation in Skinning Hodeout forum, since FM 24.2 a manager is considered a "regen" picture. you will need to add "-r" to the code. So if your ID# is for example: "2002117708" the code in the config.xml in the player pictures folder will need to show:
<record from="r-2002117708" to="graphics/pictures/person/r-2002117708/portrait"/>
flut
Hi
flut
Those alts are related to the V5 style of FlutSkin for FM23. I left those alts in the pack because I believe they work and there were many people in the last season who prefer playing with that layout (however, I really didn't test them in FM24 Skin) although with some information missing. But, you can test them (saving the originals xmls you will replace with them) and always back to the current version again.
gulchynsky
Thank you, it works 🙂

Hello, for the first time I have the problem that the city photos are not displayed. And the outside view of the stadiums in the second picture on the right is not shown either. just the inside of the stadium. and the respective backgrounds in the skins themselves are not visible. what could be the reason? I did everything as usual. and things went well for years. and I'm not the only one with the problem.

flut
Well. Everything is okay in my game. Thus, I can't help you. Sorry. Try to clear the cache, exit the game, keep this skin only in the skins folder of the game and reload it.
Brolic Bronx
For some reason the numbers on the jersey in Squad View are oversized. Any idea how I can fix this?
See attached.
@flut it is possible to include that in your next Version of your Skin? i think, it is fine and one more step for immersion.
i found that in the Tangfu Skin 24.1.5 Skin.
= big Picture of the Stuff + dark background wallpaper, but not really dark dark background wallpaper (i think, best way for reading Text)
* for other wallpaper, i will search .. but bigger Picture of Stuff, thanks if you edit that..
flut
Hi. Yes is possible. However, increasing that header (as in the screenshot you sent) will interfere with many panels in news panel, which are adapted in their dimensions (namely the height) to the current header height….Beyond lots of work to adjust them, I really prefer to have the small header and bigger graphics and more information (without scrolling) in the news panel…Thus, thank you for your suggestion, but I'm affraid I will not implement it. Sorry…
flut
Hi
As I said in the skin presentation, please read the read me files. I included a read me file.pdf explaining how you can solve that problem.
bartdude
Regardless of how much time and effort you take to make things obvious and helpful, there will always be those that totally lack any initiative, buddy. We can but try.
Brolic Bronx
Thanks a million m8. Not on here much so I will track it down. Thanks for all the hard work.
Brolic Bronx
What did you try and do exactly but make someone feel unwelcome here?
Thanks to Flut and sorry I didn't read every line before I got here. But if they were all as helpful as your comment, I am glad I didn't.
vonHolzminden
Does anybody know how to solv this? It should be a little bit more to the right. My resolution is 2560*1440 and i have the zoom 125% in game. Other things are ok at the skin:
bartdude
So you want to be excused for laziness ? Your “help” from flut was yet another reminder for people to read the read me file. In effect you were wasting his time. Unbelievable !

Can someone help me with couple of issue with player overview?
1/ I've chosen Flut Player Stadium however stadium not shown (I have added stadium folder under graphics and the stadium picture is showing under club overview)
2/ For club kits, some teams are showing i.e. Liverpool, however others not showing
3/ For nation kits, I have followed pdf instructions, however nation kits now showing
Much appreciated!
