Football Manager 2026 Skins - AlexMorak FM26 Theme/Skin v0.8.1 - Windows and MacOS Versions - Works with update 26.1.2
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.

    @Sveinn A theme does not change anything in game's settings and UI. I don't have the ability to change anything even if I wanted to. The only thing changed is the difference between every line to be black and grey. This is intentionaly changed, as I told you earlier, because for my me it's a lot tiring. The alphabeticaly sort of the attributes it's not changed and I cannot change it even if I wanted to.

    @alexmorakgaming I might be interpreting the wording wrong but my understanding is the background would be dark like the panels ( no background of the grass )

    @Tikitaka Master Thank you very much!
  • alexmorakgaming's avatar
    @Juayd They are working but please read what they are changing. Please try the new update as well.
  • alexmorakgaming's avatar
    @Sveinn Thank you my friend. If you mean the different colour rows sadly no, one of the main reasons why I'm still updating this theme is this. I hate the default one. Sorry about that.

    Hello, can you adjust the player values so that they are sorted one-to-one using the default skin like in the previous patch? Great Skin.

    Hello! Could it be that the black backgrounds no longer work? It doesn't change anything for me. I first added the skin and then the black backgrounds.
  • alexmorakgaming's avatar
    @junior_kensh Hello, I've used the in game editor and it has no issues. All the skins don't change the UI, we cannot have the ability to do this.
  • junior_kensh's avatar
    the problem ive encountered with most skins is that they fkd up the in-game editor, the UI was unusable for some reason... is that fixed by now??
  • alexmorakgaming's avatar
    @pray nope.
  • pray's avatar
    Guys, do you have the same problem with empty boxes in live match? For example latest score or league table are empty when i am in a match. How i fix that ?

    nie potrafisz przyjąć krytyki swojej skórki tylko obrażać. Ten kto innych obraża sam taki jest.
  • alexmorakgaming's avatar
    @kapitanbaton Often the people writing in their own language in an international site and expect for all the others to translate their comment or message are the idiots that cannot read 20 lines inside what they are viewing or downloading. All the community are waiting for you to make those extra ordinary UI changes in order to be excited. You see maybe we are lazy...

    skórka nic nie wnosi do gry poza zmianom paru kolorów, nie wiem czym się tu zachwycać
  • alexmorakgaming's avatar
    @jackpars777 they are just black/blank backgrounds
  • jackpars777's avatar
    cheers Alex -what is the difference from them?
