I had the Brilliantly Stupid Idea of writing a Custom Skin for Steam and after many Hours of pounding on my Keyboard and replacing it 3 times! I came up with this....

Thank You all and especially to Mr Grim. That was a surprise to see! This does make me feel like I'm actually learning once again and my art is going in the right direction. I'm still not that good but I'm trying...:cheeky:

I think it's cool mate and something I didn't even know you could do, makes me wonder now if I should try to make one to match my HUD themes as it already uses the shadows from the themes

I agree, I did it just because I found out there are very few Skins for steam and it fully supports it. If you do go for it, here is a tip I learned the hard way. The colors are in RGBA Decimal and the only program I found that can give you your correct colors is paint.net also use paint.net when adjusting the .tga files because Photoshop doesn't display the Alpha Channel correctly and just about all .tga's in the skin have a Alpha channel transparency to them ether on the boarders or with in the design, Photoshop displays the transparency as black and dumps the Alpha Channel altogether.

I hope that helped if you do decide to go for it and I'll be waiting to see your designs.

Awesome skin! Sadly it's severely buggy now. Pretty much everything is in the wrong spots now. It's hard to see anything on it now. Maybe if i ever gets updated I'll be able to use it. But for now t no longer works properly with Steam.

Mr. GRiM, you should do some HUD themes for Steam :D On a side note, anyone else have themes somewhere on VC? I'm looking for something to match HUD Evolution :)

Here are some screenshots showing the glitches I'm getting with this skin.


For this one and all others the big picture mode button is placed wrong, but also on this one, there is a glitch on the top left corner of the games list.

For this one, nothing shows up in the music folder.
70225

This one is the downloads tab. It loads some of the text but places it over the previous opened page without changing out properly.
70226

I'm not sure if the friends list is glitched, but I figured I'd show a screenshot of it just to be sure.
70227



So far I'm currently not seeing any other glitches, but if there are any Ii'm sure I'll find them sooner or later.

If this skin gets fixed I would definitely use it as my permanent Steam skin. It is literally the best skin I've seen so far. :peace:

I have a red scanlines theme I found somewhere.. Works really well.. :) If you can figure out the part of the skin that has the image for the top part you could probably slap the ROG logo on it and call it a day :D Or I'll slap it on there for you if you can figure out what size image and then put it in yourself ;) I know nothing about that side of Steam lol

Can you possibly provide the skin (or perhaps the link to it if you don't have permission to provide the skin itself)? I'd really like to try it out. :peace:

I can't for the life of me find it to send for you so I just uploaded it to MediaFire.. It has a "settings.ini" file you can edit to change from red, blue, green, and black :) I defaulted it to RED for you ;)

ooohhhh!!! know that one. Coincidentally, I actually have that one already, lol. I did come across another one just a minute ago that is also really cool. I'll edit this post to include i as soon as I finish uploading it to MediaFire as well, lol.


---EDIT---

Ookaayyy, my MediaFire account is not letting me upload it, apparently it's to big for a free account. But i got the link for it and here it is. It's gained via a Dropbox link apparently, but it still works. It's basically a modified version of PixelVision of which works with the latest version of Steam. It has about 4-5 different color options to choose from. Here's the link:

I think you just had a weird thing happen with MediaFire.. You can upload GIGs I believe lol That file is only 4.5MB ;) And I don't have a DropBox account to download it ;)

Dun need a dropbox account to download. if it asks u to sign up just close that popup and click download again, it should work fine then. That's what i did anyways (Also, I use Google Chrome, not sure if it matters though). As for the reason I couldn't upload to MediaFire, it claimed to have more than 300 files in it and 300 is the limit on my account apparently. I'm not sure if it really had that many though, as I didn't bother going in and counting them out, lol.

If it helps any, I also don't have a Dropbox account, lol.

I'd love to see some Steam ROGed skins to match the ASUS Dark series themes. [I'm really wanting one to match the ASUS Dark-Red theme, lol] Tis a shame this one doesn't work on the latest Steam build.

Looks just like mine.. :Smile:
Glad you liked it.
With ASUS Theme and choosing color to match theme, the Metro for Steam looks pretty sweet

I noticed something rather ironic today, lol. The Metro for Steam skin [and it's dark variant] are the only skins around that actually work with the Community Hub for pretty much any game or page. No other skin works with the Community Hubs. Even the default built in steam skin is glitched asf in the Community Hubs, lol. I actually face palmed when I noticed that steam's very own built in skin didn't even show the Community Hubs properly lol. Everything is misaligned asf and completely overlapping everything in every skin BUT this one on the Community Hubs, lol. I wonder if even steam is ever gonna get their heads outta their bums and fix that glitch in their own default skin, lol.
