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.

Still waiting for this beauty. :)

Thanks! :)

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.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
