AlexMorak FM26 Theme/Skin v0.3

This is the first custom theme/skin for Football Manager 26. With this you can get rid of the annoying purple and blue colours of the game. I've included a new background (instead the default one), new gold UI highlight colours, and new attributes colours that I've been using for years.

Unfortunetely the way this year's game works, we cannot have custom dynamic backgrounds per screen. The games uses some different backgrounds per licensed competition, shown the week before a match for this competition. So if you play at a licensed competition you will not see my background. If you want to only see the default one, I've included some different files down below.

For now, these skins are made differently from previous years and we cannot interfere/edit the UI, so there may be structural issues unrelated to the skin.

You can expect updates frequently when new things are being discovered. This is just the beggining of a new era.

Changelist:

• v.02 (03/11/2025): More changes to UI colours as we proceed finding where they are.
• v0.2.1 (03/11/2025): Fixes about the colours used for yellow cards.
• v0.3 (05/11/2025): More changes to UI colours as we proceed finding where they are.

Optional Files: If you do not want the dynamic backgrounds used by this year's FM for competitions like Premier League, EFL Competitions, Bundesliga and UEFA Competitions and you want to always use the "FIFA 15" background, there is a folder among the files you've downloaded. Just use this two files inside the folder over the others. Just do the same method of installation.

I hope you like it, and if you are Greek and you'd like to support my work, you can find me here:
