Skin White (Final Version) for FM 2017 regular career mode and widescreen (1920x1080).

Compatible with DF11 and Scope faces.

I would like to start by expressing my acknowledgment to all FMfans who keep me motivated to edit the FlutSkin with kind words of support and stimulus.
In spite of my great recognition to all FM Skinners and graphic/addons producers that make our FM experience much more exciting, I would like to express a special thank you to PATRES10, for the tailor-made default kits I included in the skin; to NECJEFF, for the original creation of country locator that I adapted in Flutskin; to JOVOVICH, for the wonderful match intro panels; to SIRWILL and PIKAWA, for the match scoreboards I included in the skin; and, “last but not the least”, to RUNE, who has always shared his ideas with me, was responsible for the most innovative idea to improve FM skins visual – the citypics – and who has been a “compagnon de route” since the beginning of this journey.
All of you are the main source of inspiration that has made possible to improve FlutSkin since the first time (in FM13) I decided to try to edit a skin.



About this update
This version does not include "structural" (or big) changes. It includes, however, several tweaks in different panels, namely in the following:
- News panel: pre-season report team preview, post match analysis, pre-match opponent analysis and team report panel tweaked
- Match preview, Match overview and Match pre-match panel: all the lineups in those panels were tweaked
- Match titlebar score: scoreboard was tweaked
- Flut match scoreboard (tweaked)
- Match introduction: League one, Serie A, K League, Bundesliga included (from Jovovich); Liga NOS included (non official intro, made based on EPL league)
- Board room ( “new” )
- Club overview panel: slightly larger club kits and Last XI tweaked.

I hope you enjoy this version!
See you in FM18!!!


Released: 27 August, 2017

Resolution requirements:

This skin was made to work properly in 1920x1080 (1080p) full screen mode. As a result, some panels won’t work properly in other resolutions (and also in 1920x1080 windowed mode).

IMPORTANT NOTES:

In this pack I included a TUTORIAL PDF with instructions regarding the structure of your Graphics folder in order to view the citypics, the kits and the competition logos in player details and in title bar.

You can download the 2D kits for displayed in player overview panel and titlebar HERE or HERE

You also can download the citypics (and much more) in the Backgrounds Superpack made by DAZS8 (with some contribution from myself and other FM Fans), HERE

How to add Flut Skin in FM17

Download and extract the .rar file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

Place the "fm2017flutskin" folder here:
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2017\skins
1. Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.
2. Start FM17 and go to Preferences screen and then into the Interface tab.
3. You should see FM 2017 Flut Skin - Final Version as option in the skin drop down of the Overview box.
4. Hit the Confirm button.

Please note this skin is provided as is. It has nothing to do with Sports Interactive or SEGA and won't be supported by them.

Hi mckagan: Finally I found the problem with the grey flags. In the next release it will be fixed. In meantime, if you want you can delete the following folder: graphics/buttons/subtle (delete the folder subtle).

Hi

Are you sure that those coloured lines appear in my last version? I don't remember and I tried with other skins and only the first place and the last are highlighted...

Hi,

With the update, on every single table, I have club names in big characters ? What can I do to put the table in small print as before?

Thanks for your good job.

Hi

You have to open the "league stage panel views.xml" (is in the competition folder, located in the panels folder of the skin), find all the code font="fonts/capitals" and delete it.

Hi,

Still the best skin by far for FM2017, dark skins have less visual appeal for me. Gloomy looking etc.

My question is how to remove the stadium thumb pic from the player profile. As you can see it's superimposed over the kits images.

Any help much appreciated,

Hi: The picture appears because you don't have the 2D kits for player attributes and titlebar. You can download it through the link I included in the post of the skin (look at Important Notes).
Cheers and thanks for your support.

I have downloaded the kits, of which I can see, however the kits are still obscured by the thumb pic of the stadium, As you can see my graphics folders is organised and shows the club page no problem. Its just on the individual player that is causing the problem.

Look carefully in the code because there is something you deleted or not completely deleted that causes that message (look at line 579).

Well...try the follow:

1. Rename the folder you downloaded with the kits already ready for use with flutskin . Call it for example aaaaaaakitsaslogos
2. Place the folder here:
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2017\graphics|logos
Create the folder "graphics" if it doesn't exist.

Hi Flut, I was wondering how easy it would be to remove current ability, potential ability and hidden stats (1) while still keeping the goalkeeping rating and preferred moves (2). Also how easy or if it is even possible to have physical information (3) replacing the hidden stats (1) .

Hi: I couldn't look at your screenshot...If you want to return to the default information in that part of the panel you just have to delete the player additional attributes panel.xml and reload the game.

Sorry about the image not working, hopefully it works now. I would only like to get rid of part of the additional information while keeping some if that makes sense?

Hi: for display only the information in your red "square", use THIS

Put it in the player folder of the skin (this folder is inside the panels folder).

Hi:

Thanks.
You can choose one of the other scoreboards as default.
For that, open the scoreboard.xml (located in the scoreboard_selector folder of the skin) and change

<!-- 1 -->
<container id="1scb" hidn="false">

by

<!-- 1 -->
<container id="1scb" hidn="true">


after, choose the scoreboard you want as default and change the code (in the correspondent line)

hidn="true" by hidn="false"

Hi

Regarding your question, the answer is yes. The scoreboard selector works as the tv logos and the background selector and if you leave the panel, when you go back to the panel, the default will be displayed.
