FM 2021 FLUT skin dark - Version 16.0

Dear all

This FLUTSKIN version 16 is the final version of FLUTSKIN for FM21!!

A great thank you to all FM fans who choose to play with FLUTSKIN and always keep me motivated to still improving the skin and gave me new ideas!!!

A special thank you to all 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 recognized thank you to those one who help me answering the questions and requests and adapted the FlutSkin (namely and specially Rosek for the help to answering questions and the adapted version for 2560x1440, and Richbell, for the adapted version with hidden attributes!!!!! And, of course I don't forget the skinners community who also indirectly contributed to FlutSkin with their creativity.

Also a special thank you to PATRES10, from fmslovakia for the 2D default kits (especially tailor-made for FlutSkin) anf to Michael Murray since I started editing the match inbetween highlights panel based on his amazing work!!

Now is time to stop editing the skin for this season. I wish to return for FM22. Lets wait and see since no one is able to predict the future.

MAIN CHANGES IN v16.0
- Following the great idea of majesticeternity, Tyburn and a31632 (from Sports Interactive community) I included in several xmls a code for personalize the background in specific panels, namely club overview, player overview, board room, human profile and team training. These codes are not “activated” by default but if you want to have a different (customized) background in each one of that panels you just have to activate the codes. In the read me file I explain how you can do it.
- Nation overall panel
- Nation overview panel
- Human profile panel
- Player profile stadium option in player overview panel
- News panel

The Skin pack also includes:
1. “Round country flags”, “round continents logos” and default logos specially made in metallic style by @Qvordrup from sourtitoutsi. Those graphics will be displayed in the title bar.

Thank you @Qvordrup by your great work and for your collaboration!!!

You can download the 2D packs prepared for Flutskin (titlebar and player overview panel) here in sourtitoutsi. FC style kits HERE; SS Kits style HERE
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.

If you prefer SS'kits you can download this and replace the kits folder located here:
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins\fm2021flutskin_dark\graphics\pictures\kits
HERE

The logos in country locators are now updated by @Qvordrup according the last version of metallic logos.

You can also download the stadiums background megapack and the citypics released by @DazS8 (thank you, my friend) HERE and HERE

And @geordie1981 has made a pack for inside "small" stadiums HERE

You can also download the sortitoutsi Backgrounds Megapack HERE

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.

You can do so by clicking the button down below:


SOME ADITTIONAL NOTES:

PLEASE NOTE THAT MANY SCREENSHOTS ARE FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THE SKIN

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO MAKE THE GAME MORE DIFFICULT, YOU ALSO CAN DOWNLOAD AN ADAPTED VERSION OF THE SKIN (V. 15) WITH THE ATTRIBUTES VALUES HIDDEN. THIS ADAPTED VERSION WAS AN IDEA OF RICHBELL AND, ALTHOUGH WITH MY HELP, IT WAS RICHBELL WHO ALSO DID THE MAJORITY OF THE CHANGES. THANK YOU MY FRIEND!
Please note that for this version working well (with hidden attributes) you should remove the original version of the skin.


FOR THOSE WHO USE 2560x1440 RESOLUTION YOU ALSO CAN DOWNLOAD THE ADAPTED VERSION (v. 16.0) EDITED BY ROSEK

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


Important note regarding TV LOGOS:
Although the default tv logo is the one I use, of course you can easily change it; for that you just have to go to skin/graphics/icons/tv logos. In that folder there is a alt folder with many TV logos. You just have to replace the tv logo.png and the tv [email protected] for that one you want. Of course you should rename the new logos as tv logo and tv logo@2x. You also can use other logos made by you. The procedure to use them is exactly the same. However, I should remember that yo should use logos with the right height. For tv logo you should use 25px and for the @2x you should use 50px.


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.

How to add Flut Skin in FM21
Download and extract the .rar file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

Place the "fm2021flutskin_dark" folder here:
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins

  • Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.
  • Start FM21 and go to Preferences screen and then into the Interface tab.
  • You should see FM 2021 Flut Skin dark - Version 16.0 as an option in the skin drop down of the Overview box.
  • 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, a couple of help requests for the board!

    Screen 1 - How do I get it to show the full name?

    Screen 2 - I have got the saved continental logos, instead of the map type that's circled...Any idea how to change?

    Sorry if these have been answered previously. 13 pages of replies with a lot of code is tricky to search through!



    Hello. So for the name AND the number of the player, it is necessary to modify the sizes of the writings in the "kit icon 14" (chgt name + number)
    I am highlighting you the path and the things to change. It's up to you to see the values ​​because it depends on your resolution used for the game
    And save the original elsewhere in case or before modifying it.

    For continents, just change the continent folder of the skin to your own. You can also just change the images but they must have the same name as the ones they replace.

    Hope to have been useful to you.

    It is a small thing but this could perhaps be adjusted in next update (it is from season review)

    https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/HJga5RPnj2DJF3LHfxxzn0MAGLKtiBnbq07y9780.png

    And could this be permanent removed from the skin so I don't have to do it after each update 😀👍

    go to panels/generic/kit icon16 and delete the following code

    <widget class="picture" id="pict" scale_picture="true">
    <boolean id="keep_aspect_ratio" value="true" />
    <flags id="image_alignment" value="centre" />
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="-43"/>
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="128"/>
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" />
    <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="105" />
    <record id="object_property">
    <integer id="get_property" value="mnpc" />
    </record>

    Hi

    Thanks. I never have been in the final of a season (working on the skin makes difficult to play the game lol). When that panel will be displayed in my game I will take a look on it. Regarding the code of kit icon16, for me is important because is responsible for place a kit logo in the right place of the shirt when we don't have the 2D kits adapted for flutskin (is displayed in the default kit which is hidden behind the 2Dkit). However, since it works well only in the right resolution, I will include an alt kit icon16 without that code 🙂

    cheers and have a nice New Year!!

    Hi folks,

    I've downloaded and installed the skin perfectly into the game. All seems to be ok other than I'm not sure if its either a setting I've got wrong on my laptop or the skin just isn't compatible. Some displays seem a little squashed and just a little off. Once installed into the game was there another setting i needed to change or anything so the screen and displays all fit to proportion? Thanks

    I'm certain its been asked before but hopefully someone can reply quicker than I can read through the whole thread, how do I change the player attribute colours as far too much green for me and hard to distinguish between high/low ratings.

    I have the same small issue with colours of players attribute. Out of four colours two shouldn't be almost the same shade of green 👀

    Damon Brewster: please read the thread. I already answered your question. Try to follow the instructions of aethelbeorn (thanks)

    ΧΑΡΑΛΑΜΠΟΣ ΧΑΡΑΛΑΜΠΟΥΣ: you should have the right packs for stadiums, including mini stadiums pack.

    gholliday87: no. Unfortunately there is no way to do it.

    Jeff's72: go to match score area panel.xml and change
    <container class="main_box_no_margin" width="30" appearance="boxes/custom/match/tv captions1/si tv/score/time/paper1" blue_replacement="black" red_replacement="black" >
    For

    <container class="main_box_no_margin" width="30" appearance="boxes/custom/match/tv captions1/si tv/score/time/paper1" blue_replacement="white" red_replacement="white" >

    Leija-La: yes, is there. However I don’t know exactly what you are talking about. So, please put a screenshot.

    Spybus09: in my game, as you can see in the screenshots of the skin, everything goes well. Maybe there is a conflict in your game. Try to clear the cache, exit the game, keep this skin version in the skins folder only and reload the game.

    bartdude: I’m glad you like it 🙂 Thanks!!


    I've done what you told me but still the same. Also with 5.0 version and with FM default skin. Left window still stays during 3D match but tablet closes down. I don't know what to do!!!

    You just have to click on the clock. If you click on the clock that panel will be displayed and keep there. If you click again that panel will desappear and only will be displayed with the rest of the panels (is a "new" from SI, but many people don'y know that; I found it only because I have the habit to click in several places lol).

    Hi jeff. is normal. If you are in a cup there is no league position. Only in a league we have positions. I believe when you play in the champions league the positions were the positions of group league positions...

    Dear Flut, Happy New Year to you !!!

    I wish you good health, many victories in FM and lots of good things for you and your family.

    Unfortunately, I have 2 small concerns with the skin v.5

    The first is the black background ( att : abs background )
    I wanted to know if it should be full screen or make it disappear

    The second is a slight shift in the column of the 5 last matchs. (att : decal notes 5 matchs)
    the values ​​are not centered on the line and apparently it is the only one

    PS : I changed my screen and my new resolution is 2560 * 1440 with full screen 100 %.

    1. I believe is a result of the screen resolution. I remember it was happened a few years ago wth my game but I don't remember how I solved it. Try to go to graphics/backgrounds and increase the value of that background (default) for your resolution...

    2. Go to team squad.xml and change
