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 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.

Hello @flut been meaning to ask this for a while…
I use the alt for match titlebar without managers - timer left. had no issues until a more recent update (V6). everything works as expected, except for the Carabao and FA Cup where instead of the custom titlebar (like i see for friendlies and EPL) I get this (also the clock doesn't show as it must be white font on white background). any advice as i tried all the steps again (including in comps folder) but no change.
flut
Hi
Since I don't use that, I can't test it but have you tried to remove the folder tactics/comps/eng? (note that I really don't know if it solve that problem…sorry).
flut
Hi all
Now you can download the FlutSkin V8. I'm not sure but I believe this is the last version of your FlutSkin for this season!
I would like to thank you all for your preference and support and a special thank you for those who decided to recognize my work with a donation!! Thank you!.

Hello, I play in French Ligue 1 and the tickets are those of Portugal. I take those of Ligue 1 in the right folder, for me. How can I change it ?
Miles SRB
Hello,
any chance to change matchday font? This font looks like no space between words..
flut
Hi 6scholl6 and bartdude: I am glad you like it and thank you for your continued support!!!!
Hi Chrissy10970: what exactly you want to do? To place the french ticket in the correct folder and/or to change anything in the xml (the name of the competition)?
flut
Hi
Use these files (place the font file in the fonts folder of the skin) and the xmls in the competitions folder of the skin.
mackboss
Hi flut,
Can you help me…???
I don't know what happen with “player overview popup selector panel” because in this picture is everyhing OK but in the picture 2 doesn't work right. My resolution is 100% standard and window mode in 4k.
Thank you a lot…!!!
If you put the mouse in the last player of the list (Michael Gash), show it the wrong way…It's very rare
mackboss
Sorry, I mean “player personal details popup panel”…
Thank you…
flut
Hi. I really don't know what happens and is weird. In my game is okay. Therefore, I really don't know how to help you…sorry. Maybe is due the fact that that player have also two profiles (for player and for staff) and the game shows another line for a tab bar…But I'm not sure and for analyse that it will be necessary to have something similar and I have not yet.
mackboss
Thank you…
Well, it was if you knew how solved it.
If you get a solution, please put it.
Cheers…

<translation id="title" type="use" value="Ligue 1" />
5. Done
enjoy it!!

Hi mackboss
Thanks for let me know! I started a new game for take a look on that problem and, indeed it is there. I believe I found the problem, however after some tests I couldn't find a way to solve it.
The problem is indeed related to the fact that Gash have two profiles (as player and as staff). There is a xml responsible for that code. However, everytime I try to change the code the problem still remains. In fact the game assumes the “layout” of the staff popup (which is narrower than the layout/box of the player popup) but the “code” of the player popup, which is weird but is what happens. I tried to find how can we change the width of that popup boxes in order to increase the width of the staff/non-player popup box….but, without success. I really don't know how to change the width of the player/non player popup panels. Of course I could try to adapt the information in the panel. However the information in the player popup will be also changed.And between get worse the player popup or keep the bug in a panel which israrely displayed, I prefer not change anything and live with this bug 🙂
mackboss
Well, thank you for try to solve it.
It's a minor bug that don't change nothing the experience in the game…
Thank you…!!!

I use it on my Macbook Pro with 2560 x 1600 at 85% zoom, and it works well, with some small tinkering here and there.

I believe there is a conflict with other skins in your game. Please keep only this skin (and this version) in the skins folder of the game, clear the cache and reload the game.
flut
Hi mackboss
I decided to work on that panel. Now is fixed. I had to remove the back kit in order to have both the player popup and the player/non player popup working without bugs. I believe at the end is not bad 🙂
Here are the files (one for player folder and the other for non player folder)
Halil Aydın
thank you very much
mackboss
I'ts perfect like that. I prefer this one than other
Great job, thank you…!!!!
