Steam skins. Anyone use them?

[orderoftheflame]

Does the skin in the OP work with the 'small mode' I think it's called?

Yes. Click the Steam drop down menu and just pick "Small mode".

Apparition (in the OP), has had a new "2.0" version out for a while now. Very tidy imo, makes the default skin look like a monstrosity imo.

I just use the standard one, I actaully think it looks pretty good when compared to Origin.

That's great and all, but we're not comparing it to Origin... Hence the thread title "Steam skins"...

I did grow to like that skin you had in the OP but obviously 1 of the steam updates removed it and I never bothered checking it out after that.

Yeah, there's a 1.5 version of that as well that's up to date with the current client.

The skin called PixelVision is OK if you prefer black over grey.

I use PixelVision, I can't use Steam without it, the default looks so bad in comparison.

i tend to use steam to launch the game rather than analyse the way it looks and then scout around to find a theme for it

Cheers for that, Steam almost matches my Firefox and Windows 7 themes now

Thanks, I've just put this skin on and it looks very nice.

Good for you. I use Steam for more than just launching games, as it's got a much wider set of features than just that. Is it really so hard for people to read a thread and think "well, it's not for me".

Np.

I prefer the original one, I did try out a few themes a while back but the bugs/glitches put me off them as they didn't feel as professional as the default one.

The only thing I don't like about it is the drop down box that is in the Library tab, which has Games/Tools/Downloads on it. Would much prefer the drop box wasn't there.

Personally I miss the old steam theme. I just want to have the simplicity of it again. feelsbadman.jpeg

Thanks! Installed it and it looks great, better than the default Steam at least... or in my opinion

Just place the files in your "\Steam\skins" folder, then select it from the Steam options menu.
