Thank you Franck. That's very kind of you. And yes, I believe that the Darkside Skin will be the best for FM26!! 🙂

Hello Darkside, my friend. 

I've been away from FM for a long time and only today did I see your work on the FM26 skin (I haven't tried it because I've practically abandoned FM; I bought it, didn't like it, and never opened it again 🙂 ). But I'm absolutely sure it looks great. Congratulations and keep it up! And thank you so much for the beautiful and kind words you dedicated to me in the skin's presentation. 

A big hug, 

Flut

Hi Rosek

Try to do the following (several options; you can try the first option first)). Open the tactics icon preview info panel32.xml and 

1. line 108 change the layout value -3,-2 for -2,-2    in <layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" layout="-3,-2" offset="0" gap="2"/>

2. increase the value of the inset in line 117

 <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="bottom" inset="1"/>

3. edit the player name in line 112 (include the size="8" for example, in the following code: <widget class="label" id="name" alignment="centre,can_scale" colour="black" auto_size="vertical" multiline="false" font="title">

I forgot to get back to you about FC Porto! Yes! I'm so happy!! They totally deserved the title!

Hi Rosek.

Thanks!!

If you want you can adjust the logo in order to not be cut. You just have to reduce a little bit the player pic and increase the space for logo or, alternatively, reduce the size of the logo.

For the first option go to best team outline table widget and, in line 19, incresae the value 15.

For the second option, in the same xml, line 44, place a number in the inset (now is zero) - you can do it by trial and error - start by 1 and still increase it until the logo is adjusted.

Hi all (again),

Thanks for your suggestions. Here are the files. Please place them in the corresponding folders and let me know if they work (feel free to share screenshots if you want! 🙂 )

I've also included the Intro panel, so you can consider this version 11.0. 🙂

Hi everyone (Bielsa, Holzi, luffy, Daz8, Rosek),

Thanks! You've always been so kind over the years 🙂 I really appreciate it.

@Holzi: The only changes I made were to those two panels (team talk and squad depth) and adding an optional Bundesliga scoreboard (the DFL one by sptndc).

That said, if you think these changes justify a new version, I’d be happy to release it!

What do you think about this squad depht panel (also based on a request of Rosek). It includes (additionally) the nation flag, age, PA, CA and feet. The header of the cards uses the primary colour of the club and the letterrs of position uses the secondary colour of the club.

Hi all,

Hope you are well. Based on the XML sent to me by Rosek (thanks!), which were based on the work of Holzi (credits also for him), I’ve adapted it to create this “new” team talk panel. What do you think?

The player cards for those on the pitch are on the left, and the bench players are on the right (the columns have scrolling if needed). I changed the dimensions of the cards and included player condition/sharpness, the nation button, and the goal icon. The top bar uses the primary and secondary colours of the match competition.

Thank you all (again) 🙂 🙂

Hello everyone. I definitely don’t like FM26. So, although much less frequently, I’ve gone back to FM24 and to my FLUTSkin. In the meantime, Rosek (thank you, my friend) sent me an XML file that allowed increasing the size of part of the “Dialogue popups”, namely the News and Instant Result ones. So, I included that file in the skin and tweaked the Instant Result panel, increasing the size of the kits and adding a bit more information (for example, the image of the stadium where the match took place). Based on that, I decided to release Version 10 of the Flutskin for FM24. It was just a small add‑on, but I hope you like it. 

A hug to you all, and I’m sorry if I’ve practically stopped providing support for the skin.
 

PS: thank you all for your kind posts here in the thread! Thank you DazS8 and Evil-Muffin7 for continuing to maintain the thread “FC'12 Style 2D Kits Seasons 23/26 for Flutskin - Titlebar/Player Overview Pack”. You are fantastic!!

Hi everyone. Thank you all for your kind words. They made me feel honoured and touched. 

Let’s keep in touch 🙂

MY FIRST FM26 COMMENT

Well... unfortunately, we waited two years (!) for the new version of FM, and it's a disappointment. 

In my humble opinion, the only real improvements are in the game engine (I liked the players' movements, which are more realistic and have more technical details), the idea of two tactics (with and without the ball) and dynamic TV. 

The graphics were a complete disappointment. It's not attractive, full of bugs, confusing, ridiculously small boxes with too much information, too many pop-ups, a ridiculous scoreboard, as well as the pop-up that appears when there are goals and many, many more things that are wrong, uninteresting and meaningless... The inability to reload the skin/game without having to exit and re-enter the game when we did a change in the graphics folders is a shame. 

The inability to customise skins is an affront to the FM community! 

And the logos bugs (many don't appear because of the already reported conflict) make me wonder what kind of shitty testing was done. 

Sometimes I wonder what leads SI not to consider the feedback that FM fans have reported and suggested over the years. 

Why not ‘dialogue’ with reference sites (such as Sortitoutsi or FMScout) about things that are mentioned every year by FM fans and would improve the game and immersion in it? 

Now they've changed ‘everything’ and ‘ruined everything’! 

And anyone who, in the future, if possible, dedicates themselves to improving the graphics (skins) will certainly have a Herculean task ahead of them (and it remains to be seen whether they have radically changed the code itself...). 

For my part, I don't think I'll be able to take on this task - the years are weighing on me and relearning everything from scratch doesn't appeal to me, and I don't know if I have the knowledge to do so (as I've always said, I'm not an expert - I've learned about the code over the years, through experience and, often, through trial and error). 

We'll see... I can only hope that new skinners will emerge, with the willpower, energy and knowledge to help us make the game more interesting. 
 

It was good while it lasted! But I believe (at least for now) that FM26 closed a chapter of  my life, full of challenges and pleasure which helped me to deal and, by moments, to "forgot" the real daly problems of the life.  

A big hug to everyone who has always supported my work, which I have always done with enthusiasm for over ten years. Let's keep in touch here and all the best to you all!

Always yours

Flut

 

You should do it in the preferences

Hi Daz8 and Evil-Muffin7

You still do a great work, always updating the kits!

Thank you!!!

Thanks 🙂

Regarding your question, could you please show me a screenshot with your problem?

Hi

Go to match in between highlights panel.xml and increase the value 1573 in lines 8, 94 and 95. Please let me know if it worked.

Hi jeff. Thanks for the report. Please try this pack (place the folder scoreboards in match folder of the skin) and, please let me know if is ok now.

In the skin folders.

Thanks 🙂

Yes you can do it in the settings.xml

Here is the code for the attributes and for background attribute boxes (please note that you only can change the attributes colours . numbers and not boxes - when you use the player attribute without background attribute boxes)

<!-- profile attribute colours -->
<colour name="low attribute" red="247" green="121" blue="121"/>
<colour name="normal attribute" red="245" green="245" blue="85"/>
<colour name="good attribute" value="green 100" />
<colour name="excellent attribute" value="green" />
 

   <!-- background attribute box colours Flut FM23--> 
 <colour name="unknown attribute background" red="146" green="82" blue="143"/> 
  <colour name="low attribute background"  red="244" green="152" blue="152"/>
  <colour name="normal attribute background" red="251" green="250" blue="115"/>
      <colour name="good attribute background" red="195" green="242" blue="150"/>
 <colour name="excellent attribute background" red="63" green="229" blue="70"/>

What is missing? What is the difference comparing with the default skin? I didn't see any difference? Could you please show a screenshot?

Sorry. I don't know how to help you since it seems in my game is okay and I didn't make any changes in that panel…

Hi

Could you please show me a screenshot with that bug?

Sorry. I completely forgot your question.

For edit the player name for player flut card option you should do it in panels/player(player flut card, in the following code:

     <!--name-->
   <widget class="person_button" id="nami" auto_size="vertical" alignment="centre,can_scale" colour="primary" style="bold" size="12" font="fonts/namex">
 <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="94" />
  <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="centre" inset="0"/>
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="0" />
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="0"/>
     <record id="object_property">
       <integer id="get_property" value="Pers" />
       <boolean id="dont_set_object" value="true" />
     </record>
   </widget>

Dear all

It appears that an issue occurred with the pizza panel in the latest skin version 9.0. I believe that now is okay. Please download the skin again and let me know if it's now working. Thanks.

Hi onasius

Thank you for reporting. I couldn't test that scoreboard since I have not been playing with the Bundesliga. But, yes, you can use the scoreboard selector instead. For that, go to the match folder of the skin and copy the following files:

• match score area panel.xml
• match title bar.xml

After that, paste them in panels/match/comps/ger/bundesliga  (overwrite the originals). Reload the game and…done 🙂

Please let me know if it worked.

You can do the same for England EFL, if you want.  

Thank you, Marck, matush889, anpuerta5, luffy, DazS8, evoking, Bielsa is a legend, for your kind words! I really appreciated them 🙂

I don't know why you felt the need to make a post like this. And I don't know what the intention was either. Regardless, your post is rude, and I'm sorry, but also clueless about how disrespectful he sounded. 
As for the kick-off button, the fact that it's not visible has to do with what DazS8 said: it's because of the resolution you're using. Anyway, in the skin pack, I've included several readme files to help address some potential issues that may arise. One of them is the one you reported. Please read Read me 9 - Adjusting the match title bar.pdf
As I've mentioned, before making requests or asking questions, it's essential to read the documentation associated with the skin.

Hi all

Now you can download Version 9.0 of your Flutskin. It includes many more TV Logos and new scoreboards. Perhaps this is the final version, as I don't see any further improvements needed (unless you have suggestions for additional enhancements).

I hope you enjoy it, and thank you all!

Sure. Here is 🙂
