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 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 recognized thank you to those one who help me answering the questions and requests and adapted the FlutSkin (namely and specially Rosek for 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 BRIAN-Q from sourtitoutsi. Those graphics will be displayed in the title bar.
2. Background maps for confederations, also made by brian-q. Thank you brian by your great work and for your collaboration!!!

You can download the 2D packs prepared for Flutskin (titlebar and player overview panel). For that you should search for that kits pack elsewhere since the download link in FMScout is down due copyright issues.
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.

You also can download the stadiums megapack and the citypics released by DAZS8 (thank you, my friend)
HERE, HERE and HERE

For those who want to make the game more difficult, now 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 NOE THAT FOR THIS VERSION WITH HIDDEN ATTRIBUTES WORKING WELL YOU SHOULD REMOVE THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE SKIN

Here is the link: DOWNLOAD THE V15 WITH HIDDEN ATTRIBUTES

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.

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:

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 Max_Power: Okay. I understood. Thanks. In meantime I tried to include that button but it doesn't work (I place it in the header, near the ingame editor and also in the preferences panel and in game status panel but it doesn't work....)

Hi saturno: for the number size you should edit the kit icon34.xml. Regarding the other problem, try to clear the cache. exit the game, download the skin again, keep this skin only in the skins folder of the game and reload the game.

Hello flut great jog in this skin!!

How did you see all the data in capacity panel I only see the following:
Max_Power • 3 years ago

hi Flut ... when starting a new career you can choose whether or not to hide player values. If you choose not to hide them, you can no longer do so during your career. In my opinion there should be a function that allows you to "redo" this choice.
lfeiyee91 • 3 years ago

HI Flut, anyway to have the CA/PA panel?
maxeneize • 3 years ago

Hi, flut. Firstly I want to thank you for all your hard work. It has made me enjoy FM in a different way. Secondly I wanted to ask if there is a way to chamge the colours of the attributes, the option within FM settings does not work.
Flut • 3 years ago

Hi Max_Power: sorry but I didn't understand what you are suggesting. Could you please explain a little bit more and/or put a screenshot?
Max_Power • 3 years ago

Ok, Flut, thank you so much for your reply ... always kind. But in place of this, do you think it is possible, during the career already started, to implement a button that hides the values of the players? This can only be done before starting a new career and in my opinion it is wrong. Happy holidays !!!
Flut • 3 years ago

HI asapas: for Profile Flut Stadium you should edit the kit icon34; for Profile Flut Team colours is the kit icon38;

Hi aoishige: in some screens, in fact the buttom in half time is not displayed. In that case you can use the space bar to continue the game.

Hi Max_Power: I don't know if it is possible and I believe that box (if possible) will occupy many space and the match inbetween highlights the panel have to be reduced, which will cut some relevant information....However, maybe later (in my summer holidays) if I don't forget your suggestion, I can try that....however, I can't promise it

Hi mrRAWmaniac: thanks!! Regarding the problem you are reporting, maybe there is some kind of conflict. Try to clear the cache, exit the game, download the skin again, keep only this skin in the skins folder and reload the game.

Hi Flut, big fan off your work. But my game is pretty slow when im using your SKIN. Is this a known issue ?
Max_Power • 3 years ago

Hello Flut. I have an idea for you if possible. How about putting under the result, during the game, a small box under the names of the teams, with the players who have scored? Thanks so much.
aoishige • 3 years ago

on 1080p standard size 100% start second half button not showing cause there calendar blocking
it goes normals if you zoom out at 85%
please fix
asapas • 3 years ago

Wow, I had the stadium in the background and I could not see it!!
I randomly found it!!

Now I see it, the ones that i prefer are the stadium one and the team coulour one
Flut • 3 years ago

Asapas: is the white arrow and not the blue with the withe inside of it.
asapas • 3 years ago

I see the arrow, but I cannot select it... It just shows me the players name, nothing else
Flut • 3 years ago

asapas: if you look at the screenshot you sent me you can see a little white arrow on the top right of the kit with the number (the white and not the other inside a blue circle). Clicking on that arrow you can choose different player views. Since the code is different for each one of them, I need to know what is the option you use.
asapas • 3 years ago

Hello and sorry for the late response. Can you please specify what is the drop down arrow? I am a noob in these things haha

Flut • 3 years ago

asapas: what is the option you are using in the drop down arrow? Could you plaese show me a screenshot?

pmpou: I noticed that you have the ingame editor. Thus, you can edit the kit with the ingame editor.
1. go to the club panel
2. in the ingame editor choose home kit -> shirt
3. back of shirt style -> same as front
4. foreground -> yellow (RGB 248/240/0)
5. Background -> yellow
6. Outline -> Blue (RGB 0/80/208)
7. Number colour -> blue
8. Number outline -> blue
9. Save the game to save the changes

that's it.

UPDATE: Ok I can see the scoreboard, just I did not see it when I enter other matches' results. I will see again, because I recently started a new game, and I was seeing previous results, which had been played before I start the game chronologically.
But I still cannot fix the numbers..
asapas • 3 years ago

And something else... I can't see the colour score-bar with the teams' logos and the score.

Hi flut. I hope it is ok !!!. I have marked where the problem is!!!..(No player name)
asapas • 3 years ago

Hello my friend!! I tried to do again the alteration in the kit icon 42.xml, but now the number size doesn't change whatever big I put the number to be
It is always the same, and covers player's name
Flut • 3 years ago

Thanks Max_Power!!
Max_Power • 3 years ago

Hello Flut. Great idea of the icons in the ranking and beautiful the new pop-up of the player.
Flut • 3 years ago

Hi travis: thanks. Regarding your question, go to league stage panel views.xml and in line 579 start by changing

<record id="LOpo" width="15" appearance="boxes/bordered/standard/papervertdivider1" style="bold" />

for

<record id="LOpo" width="15" appearance="boxes/bordered/standard/papervertdivider1" alignment="centre, can_scale" style="bold" />

If not result, increase the value of width.
