FM26 Has Been Updated

FM26 was just updated on March 30th which will have broken many skins so you may have to wait for the author to update this file.

This is a generic message applied to all FM26 Skins, check the comments for more accurate information.

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 golden 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.

Hello everyone. I've fixed whatever needed and updated the theme/skin to v0.3.1 so the theme/skin works again with the game after yesterday's update. Enjoy.

 

I think that using it without the game's update don't work. Please do the update via Steam's Beta Track and then apply this version. If anyone downloaded version 0.3.1 and installed it, please re-download and install it again.

 

If you are not playing the game through Steam or you don't want to download the update, don't download v.0.3.1. I've included a download link for previous version v0.3

Exactly use the non licensed files that are inside the folder over the others. Copy/paste.

Hello all, I've fixed the crashes inside the match, when a goal scored, starting the 2nd half etc. Also I fixed the crashes in Preferences > Audio & Visual.

I don't have the issue that the topbar show only Item as names of the categories. Also I don't have the issue with info tags for players (wnt, yel, etc.)

ONLY if you have installed the game's update via Steam's Beta Track install version above 0.3, like this one (v0.3.2)
If you DON'T PLAY the game through Steam so you don't have access to the update, or you DON'T WANT to install the new update please use v0.3 (i've included a link above in the original post).

About sortitoutsi's attribute colour changer I think that is based in previous update but besides that please don't use it because it changes the colour of the attributes differently. Please use the korean version that you can find SI's Skinning Hideout Forum: https://community.sports-interactive.com/forums/topic/595586-fm26-fm26-player-attribute-color-editor/ (sadly it's only for Windows I think)

I tried it and yes, I am pretty sure that the “new” update is the early update we did yesterday via Steam's Beta Track (26.0.4).

Hi Alex. First of all, thank you for your efforts. It's a great skin. 

 

Do you know how I can remove the white lines around the attributes? As you can see in the example, my own players' attributes and values are in a box, but when I check other players, these annoying boxes aren't there.

Hello to everyone, please read carefully what I've wrote in the original post above. I tried to provide solutions to everybody with this version. Sadly I can't do anything more to that.

Hello and thank you. Probably it's something happening just to you. Give a run to the game to create the folders. It's the same as every year. FYI thought the “graphics” folder is not automaticaly created. You have to create it by yourself.

Εμ δεν ξέρω που ακριβώς εγκαθιστά το παιχνίδι το Epic Games. Φαντάζομαι κάπου στα Program Files ή μέσα σε φάκελο Epic Games. Ψάξτο λιγάκι, η διαδικασία είναι η ίδια.

They shouldn't pop up when you have these situations. So it happened it must be a bug that will be fixed. For now, we cannot change anything on the ui. And if we can this thing must be repeated again and again and again every update.

Hey friend, great job. In your screenshot in squad view, the player's nationality column shows the country's flag, but in my game it shows the confederation's logo. How do I display the nation's flag?
