The Aero+ theme isn't his, that's one of his favorites. I do agree it's a pretty good theme though.

As for 2.3, I've already commented on it before it was released. YES!

Well that's good at least.

Now I can stop hating him for being so damn talented

You're an absolute champion.

I'm looking forward to 2.4 when you get time >.< As others have observed, you have just made this better with each release (a noteworthy achievement indeed).

EDIT::
Was looking through some of your other deviations. I particularly love the Aero+ theme. If ever you choose to take a swipe at W8 in the same fashion, make sure you tell me so I can install it

EDIT2::
Did you make the banner for the steam group or is it auto generated?

Thanks a lot! As Excelsis mentioned, Aero+ isn't mine. I've never released a Windows theme but I have done some concepts.

I put the group avatar together with the Steam icon Auroka shared with me. The wall of avatars is a standard group feature with the new community.

Finally installed this skin on Windows 8. Loving it so much.

I'm happy to hear that! It feels nice with Windows 8.

While I'm not a big fan of Windows 8 / Metro I really think that this is the best steam skin out there, you really created a pleasant to look at client and everything just fits perfectly. It's amazing!
Great work on the skin BoneyardBrew and keep it up!

Thanks! I'm glad you think that. I'll keep at it!

2.4 looks great.

If I might just ask, what's the difference between the "Stable" and "Beta" files?

Beta is if you're in the Steam beta for big picture mode.

Nice! Really looking forward to the next version!

2.5 - Download - Changelog



In celebration of this release I made a landing page for the skin. It was done weeks ago but losing power set back my schedule. Check it out here!

Also, if you really enjoy using the skin I would appreciate it immensely if you were to donate. Any amount will do, and I could put it towards my next iced coffee!

How do I apply this theme? just copy & replace everything into the Steam Directory?

Be sure that it extracts to its own directory (Windows 8 - 2.5) and then put it in the skins folder located in Steam's root directory. Once that's done go to Settings - Interface from Steam and select the skin from the drop-down menu.

This skin is looking better and better as time goes on!

That would be a dream come true, but whether that becomes a reality or not I'll never forget my awesome fans.

I'm glad you like the site.
