Football Manager 2026 Skins - AlexMorak FM26 Theme/Skin v0.5 - Windows and MacOS Versions - Works with update 26.0.6
This is the first customized theme/skin for Football Manager 26. Say goodbye to the majority of the game’s purple and blue colors. I have also included a new background and new gold UI highlight colors.

Versions and Optional Files:

  • MAC COMPUTERS: With the help of GlasgowAirport, who plays the game on a Mac computer, we achieved to make the files not crash the game when played on Macs. You only just have to select the files that's inside the folder "Mac Version". What we did was, that he send me the files of the game on a Mac computer (that are slightly different than a Windows computer) and I remade the skin using these files for all of you that are playing on a Mac.
  • BACKGROUNDS: Unfortunately, due to the way this year’s game works, we can’t have different backgrounds per screen. However, the game does use different backgrounds for licensed competitions (Premier League, EFL competitions, Bundesliga, UEFA competitions, etc.), which appear before matches in those competitions.
    If you want to see only the main background I’ve chosen, or you prefer to keep dynamic backgrounds only for UEFA competitions, I’ve included some optional files you can use.

Disclaimer:

  • At the moment, this year’s themes/skins are created differently from previous versions, and we cannot modify or interfere with the UI. Therefore, I cannot accept requests to change specific elements of it.
  • Additionally, because the game is frequently updated and these updates often affect the files we use, there will be regular updates to this theme/skin. On top of that, we’re constantly experimenting to discover how to change and improve more aspects of the game’s visuals.
  • If you already have my theme/skin and want to install a newer version, sometimes cached files can cause issues. Please first Verify Files from Steam by right-clicking the game → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files, restart Steam or even your computer and then install the new version of my theme/skin.

How to install the AlexMorak Theme/Skin:


  1. Download the file.

  2. Unzip the file.

  3. Locate the Game Directory: Navigate to your Football Manager installation directory.
    The standard path for Windows is typically:
    \Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 26\fm_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64\
    And for Mac:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 26/fm.app/Contents/Resources/Data/StreamingAssets/aa/StandaloneOSX
  4. Before first time locate the original files in the game's data folder and make a backup copy before proceeding. You should see from my files, which files you have to make a backup copy.

  5. Copy and paste the files into the game directory. When asked, choose to overwrite/replace the existing files.

  • michaelandrews's avatar
    @alexmorakgaming Maybe from november 4th there will be more options for increase this experience, at least the Resource Archive should be available. From there, it should be great if youn find way to edit the visualization issue (85%, 95%).
  • Bobo79's avatar
    Is it possible to change the atribute colours? if yes, how ? thanks
  • alexmorakgaming's avatar
    Chokie: This is from speedster mod. It's a known bug from this mod. If it's still happening, it seems that you haven't removed it. Remove it to fix the issue. This theme and ANY OTHER THEME that will be released doesn't mess with the UI nor it changes anything.

    I've changed the download link to be direct on our download servers. Enjoy!

    It works, it looks amazing thankyou. But somehow i have to restart the game every single game,it will let me click on go to match, but then it changes into 'preparing' it won't let me click on the prepare button to load into the match, the same happened with the last UI speed mod, any fixes?

  • onurx's avatar
    The mega.nz download link is stuck. The download button is not active. Could you upload it to an alternative upload-site?

    nahom848: are you sure that you are writing this in the right place? sounds to me more for the bug tracker of SI.
  • markc1234's avatar
    Mine is sorted now thanks
  • rimancete's avatar
    Wow! Good job!

    That worked well for me – I just changed the player attribute colours.

    Well done, that was a great job!
  • nahom848's avatar
    Now the attributes wont show for the players in scouting. I can still see the attributes of the players in my squad, but the players in the recriuting wont show the attribute overview anymore. Just a big blank dark screen. Anyone got the same issue/fix?
  • FCK2017's avatar
    alexmorakgaming>>There was a guide but it was too technical for me to complete.
  • ranelsinna's avatar
    I really like this theme, it brings back the clean and balanced look of the custom FM24 skins. The golden/yellow titles are much easier to read than the default purple/pink ones, and the whole interface feels clearer and more polished. The dark gray backgrounds work great compared to the dark blue ones, and the background images blend in perfectly.

    Excellent work, and thanks for creating it!
