Oh and is "Windows 8" the definite name of this skin?

Or are you going for a "Metro Steam"-ish (-ish because it's already taken by an inferior skin ;)) name?

Also, too bad it's not possible (that I know of anyway) to use a custom CSS file on the steam pages, that gradient on the webpages is ruining this awesome theme a bit)

I cannot wait, i need this skin!

Yea, seriously.

This looks amazing! (Y)

Thanks! :D

Not really interested in skinning my Steam, since I don't use it much. However, this does look pretty nice, which is no surprise coming from Boneyard. Keep up the top notch work! (Y)

Thank you for the compliment, it means a lot. :)

I was thinking of keeping it Windows 8 just so it's easily recognizable. Besides, I'm horrible with names. :p

I know what you mean. It would be nice if I could just change the background color to match the theme, that's really all it needs.

This looks great! I'm currently using the MetroTwit skin, but I would use this!

That's cool! How is it holding up? I haven't used it or updated it in a while and last I heard it was a bit out of shape due to the updates.

Good work man, this may be the first steam skin I use over the default.

Awesome!

Here's an updated screenshot of the chat window. Features new styles for the buttons and text field, my take on the tabs and avatar panel as well as positioning fixes. Details view as well.

when is this bad boy going to be released?

I originally said within a few weeks, but I'd rather just release it whenever I feel it's ready. It's getting close...

I'm throwing my money at the screen and nothing is happening :o

That's one of the best comments I've received! Thanks! :D

That's for all the real gamers out there.

Any updates? Been checking this thread daily :shifty:

Here's a small update...the Friend's list. Honestly this isn't exactly how I imagined it, but there are some restrictions that I'm trying to get around by contacting some employees at Valve. If all goes well, I'll have a response and hopefully a solution to some of the issues I'm having.

The edit time is rather short, I miss my old sub just for that! I wanted to include a screenshot of the client with the logo Auroka kindly provided me with.

Cool! Looks awesome! (Y)

Btw, I still have the .psd for the logo if you need it.

Oh that looks awesome!

What do you think about having the arrow/store/library buttons at the very top of the window, like where "Steam" is? And maybe just remove the "steam" text, since the default skin doesn't even have that

That's the menu though.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
