Dear all

This is FLUTSKIN Version 8.0 for FM23!!

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. 

In FlutSkin you can find so many changes comparing to the default skin that I can’t present all of them here. I suggest you to go through the panels in order to see with your eyes all the changes!!

The pack includes many alt files for customize the skin (please read the read me file included in the pack) and several tutorials: 1) how should be the configs for the stadiums packs; 2) how can you adjust the size and the place of the kit number in player overview panel; 3) how can you do the 2D kits adapted for Flutskin. BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE ALT FOLDERS AND ALSO AT THE READ ME AND TUTORIAL FILES!!

 

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
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.

 

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

 

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 donate by clicking here:
https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=E9P4RXKNQBQBS
 

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.

 

[b]How to add Flut Skin in FM23[/b]
Download and extract the .zip file (using either 7-Zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for Mac).

Place the "fm2023flutskin_dark" folder here: 
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2023\skins

[*] Create the folder "skins" if it doesn't exist.
[*] Start FM23 and go to Preferences screen and then into the Interface tab.
[*] You should see FM 2023 Flut Skin dark - 8.0 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.

@flut Hey Mate.  Flut-Skin Version 5.0 = amazing!

i have one Idea: you can see my Player Overview in the game.
how can i set that Idea into the Game?  = the red sector (4 panels) to one panel = to see the career statistics in “details” = the big career statistics (more then just: played Games/Goals).

how can i/we use that?

Many Thanks my Friend from Portugal

Cheers from Germany

Absolutely love this skin, it's bright, beautiful, and unique!

 

One of my favorite small add-ons that gave me a “wow" factor is the “ticket” that appears when going into a game. Love this feature, and love this small but creative bit of detail that definitely brightened my FM experience the first time I saw it. My only suggestion would be for the ticket to be competition-specific rather than always set to Champions League, if possible.

 

Other than that, love the skin! Thank you for you work with this.

 

EDIT: I'm seeing alternate tickets in the altsV5 folder, but am unsure how to get them to apply in the skin in-game. Typically I can only get the skin to work if I only use the fm2023flutskin_dark folder by itself without the alternate folder.

 

Thanks!! And also for your donation!!

 

Unfortunately we can't do a ticket to be competition-specific….

 

However, and is the best I can do, I can use a tab for choose the ticket we want to be displayed. 

 

Regarding the alt, for use it you should copy the png/jpg files included in the  alt folder and place them in Football Manager 2023\skins\fm2023flutskin_dark\graphics\boxes\custom, replacing the originals. However, as I referred above, after replaced, that new pictures will be always displayed.

 

cheers

 

In meantime I did a test and create tabs, as I told you. Here is the effect with four tabs (Champions, UEFA, Conference and General) but of course we can create more tabs for specific competitions.

I haven't looked into it, so it's just speculation - but could there be the possibility of using value_based_picture against id="comp".  I don't know if it's possible on a text string, but just a thought?

@flut Hi. First of all, thank you very much for this quality skin that you have continued for years. I wonder which one are you using as stadium package? I could not find the Dragao image in your posts in any of the packages I used. (I am actively using Sortitoutsi Backgrounds)

Deleted Account #1359833

@flut you are so great! yes, with the “big” panel at the middle bottom, we can have a great player statistic overview.  (i changed just the background wallpaper, to the screen in my post before and change the some panels to show up, you can see in my screen before)

+ with the tabs for the tickets, we can choose for each competiton (or at the moment, some of them) - very cool!

After extracted the pack, open the folder and you will see a folder named fm23flutskin_dark. Is that folder (with those other folders inside) that you should  place directly in the skins folder of the game.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried in that way but without succes. However, since I am not a programmer expert I don't know if I did it correctly. Thanks anyway.

Hi

You have to go to your graphics folder of the game and remove the folder 2D kits ZOOMED since the skin works with a different ZOOMED folder and the game are reading your graphics folder first, instead of that one of the skin.

@flut wat is the best Logo pack to use for your SKINS?

 

I usually (not all, but most of times) use the metallic logos and I edited the skin using them. They are also the logos matching with the country locator. However, I believe is a question of taste and I believe that the great part of logos styles works well in the skin.

Hi Robin. Thanks.

The file I place here was for answer your request (and it includes the option for the detailed stats in the middle box, as default). However I intend to include it as an alt. I don't like it totally since is not symetric (now, this in your screenshot i much better; however the left and right boxes seems to small and, for instance we can not display the two analyser as a set, only one each time).  But I will try it 🙂

@flut: i used your 1 file, you send here, right.  player overview panel.xml   (copy(paste/overwrite with the existing 1 File.) ingame, Cache delete, reload the Skin.

so, i can not understand why the stats are not detailed in the middle box.

Humm. Is weird. I will sent you now a new file already adjusted and symmetric as yours. Please let me know if is okay. In my game is like this:
