Football Manager 2026 Skins - AlexMorak FM26 Theme/Skin v0.7 - Windows and MacOS Versions - Works with update 26.1.1
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.

    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!

    jeffnmgn: create a backup and then replace them.

    it is not working for me.do i have to delete those files which i have to make a back up? thanks for what you do for the community
  • alexmorakgaming's avatar
    FCK2017: How? I am interested about that.
  • alexmorakgaming's avatar
    javillera: I've created them inside my game, sorry. You can right click any column title and insert what you see to create them too. Please use General Info view as a start and not Selection Info, as this view bugged my game and I had to reset it.

    nicolas_om: It's called personal preference and it's subjective. We are creating a python script that will automatically change all the colours for moaning people like you.

    Imagine: sorry about that, sometimes megaupload does not play well in some countries.

    flav77: I think so, please check it.

    It also works great with stadium background packs.

    Good afternoon, first of all, thank you very much for your work and dedication in making FM26 look more appealing. How can I get the "Alexmorad Squad List 26" and "Alexmorad Tactics List 26" views to look exactly as they do in the screenshots? I can't seem to find it.

    Regards.

    Anyone else get 'temporary error, retrying' when trying to download this on the Mega website it directs you to?

    Edit: Used my personal hotspot on phone and it worked, must be some wifi issue.

    @nicholas-om
    why not do your own if you can do it better?
  • nicolas_om's avatar
    In my opinion, it looks just as horrible as the default option. Theoretically, can this workaround be used to make the background white and the text black? Or will there be even more nuances than in FM20-24?
  • alexmorakgaming's avatar
    arildbs: About attributes, check the other responses I gave. For the new backgrounds that changed the default ones, I have a new totally new main background (shown only in overview of each section of the topbar as FM26 does) and I altered the licenced backgrounds for competition to match the dark look rather than using blue/purple colour.
  • alexmorakgaming's avatar
    leverkuhn: You can. Look for the tools that create a bundle for changing attribute colours, download it and replace the file.
  • leverkuhn's avatar
    Thanks. This would be perfect with an option for attribute colour customization.

  • arildbs's avatar
    I still have the same background as in the standard game? Something I need to do? Can I also change attribute colours myself?
  • alexmorakgaming's avatar
    Goodname & faarewell: No skinning/changing the UI for now.
  • alexmorakgaming's avatar
    irlguimaraes: This is not a skin, it's a thme. For now we can change the colors. If the game runs well in 3440x1440 then yes. If no then you know the answer... xD
