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.

    Thanks. 

    I took a look in the colour change you did for club vision and is perfect. If you dont mind, I will include it in the new version of the skin.

     

    No problem for me. You are free to choose the colors because I put the ones I use personally [Red (Bad) < orange < yellow < blue < dark green < light green]

    very nice achievement. Because, with my experience on FM, it is often with the attributes that the best player has been looking for who will correspond to what he expects from the position he will occupy.

     

    And these horrible colors of departures have finally disappeared 👌👌👍👍😉😉

    Hi Guys!

     

    After a few tests I have to say, your version Rosek is really great, I really like it! 

     

    But….two questions please (incl. a wish…)

     

    Screen 1:

    For my personal use….

     

    Is there a way to show ONLY the panel (or whatever you call it) INFO (and here only the area of ability = in german language FÄHIGKEIT, as shown in screen) permanently, WITHOUT a scroll bar? I don't need the other information. The problem is, when I leave the player screen and come back to it, the scroll bar of the info panel is right at the top again.

     

     

    Screen 2:

    Is there a way to have longer names displayed in full on the backside of the Trikot instead of abbreviated with dots?

    My question will be for your 2nd image. 

    Are you using the panel with the image left or centered ?

    Because I am using the one with the face on the left and I have this :

     

     


    I'll see what happens if I put the one with the picture in the middle.

    Left, I don´t use your “alt player picture on the middle”.

     

    But I see on your screens, the Logo is in the middle of the trikots, instead of me?

    Regarding your wish. Place this file in the panels folder of the skin, overwriting the original one.

    I have also seen this. Try to completely remove the original Flut skin and then download mine. We will already see what happens. For your fc12 kits, no worries, in the "alt" file that I added, there is a way to put it back.

    What should I do mate?

    🤔🤔🤔🤔

     

    Can you take a full screenshot that I can see.

    Indeed if the side bar is complete, this reduces the panels. 

    Another point to check:

    - standard size 100% in preferences.

    - 100% in the settings of the screen.

    Problem solved…I think it was my fault…

    I set the default size to 110%, I think that's a mistake with WQHD, right?

    By the way, I hadn't used your add-on “alt sidebar match club colour”.

     

    Nevertheless the sidebar is red anyway?

    Hi @Rosek my Friend 🙂

    no Blur Effect: Link: https://community.sigames.com/forums/topic/496027-no-blur-fm21/?tab=comments#comment-13016944

    and thanks for helping with that and with the Flut Skin

    i think - include disable blur effect automaticly in flut skin would be fine. so, no one have to figure out and maybe crash the great flut skin

    I just read it. And as indicated, this is a personal preference of a player ... But at home, in my game, I have no problem with "fuzziness".

    If I open a player's panel, say at the medical center, the rear just gets a little darker ... Not having this defect, I can't help ...

     

    Deleted Account #1359833

    myself i did not test ingame blur effect good or bad - i only heard Blur Effect and think about other big Games, in there Blur Effect is in my case not good - so i disable that in all games

    🙂

    but in FM21 i did not test that, i just want to know, that you know, that is possible to disable and then the community can talk about: disable / enable for Flut Skin

    🙂

     

    your Picture_ that is your actually Flut Skin Version? okay, we have to talk

    @flut could this “best eleven” perhaps be improved on? something else than the name twice? or perhaps just remove one of the name lists?

    The only time when the background is blurry at home is when I enter the parameters ... 😋😋

    For me I find it's normal ... Since this is where we set all our display parameters ... 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

    Regarding my screenshot, I do not understand the question? 🤔🤔

    It comes from the original skin with my personal touch-ups, known to Flut and everyone who downloaded this version.

    Then it may be in the game settings, see the screen settings ... 🤔🤔

    But this is beyond my skills ... 😢😢😢
