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.

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.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
