Cool! Looks awesome! (Y)

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

I agree, thanks again for the suggestion!

I'd love the PSD. I ended up doing some channel work to extract just the logo so the edges probably aren't as nice as they could be.

Totally hot.

:D

Oh yeah.. duh. I rarely use the Steam menu, I usually use the jump list from the taskbar. Maybe make the text smaller or something

The only reason I made it that large is to match the Windows 8 start screen, which is what the theme is strongly based upon. It's actually smaller than the real thing. If I made it even smaller I'd have to change the rest of the design consequently, and I'm not so sure I'm comfortable doing that.

Who knows though, I'll have to see what it looks like as a concept.

I'm hoping that Valve will respond to that friend window problem soon.

Thanks!

I emailed three people, one of which responded within 24 hours. The news? Not so good. She said they dropped support for client skinning with the 2010 redesign so there isn't much she could do.

Looks like I'm on my own...

I the theme will create some buzz with the community or at least wake up Valve to do some work on their stuff.

It's just not funny anymore how little Valve actually does now, Steam is a cash cow and it made them lazier than they already were.

It would be great if Valve resumed openly supporting skins for the Steam client again. There are a lot of little things (like an auto-reloading client) that would prove to be a serious help.

Awesome looking skin so far dude, will be fun to try it, any plans on making this work with the mac version of Steam also?

Thanks! I would support OS X but I don't have a Mac to test it on.

I suppose I can just remove the OS X specific parameters and hope for the best. :p

You could try doing a small neowin beta first :)

The weekend is pretty much here. I'm going to look it over tonight and release it either later or tomorrow, depending on if I find anything that really needs fixing.

Once it's released Neowin will be among the first to know!

Reporting Issues:

Please report ALL issues over at Google Code. This system will allow me to address any and all issues/suggestions in an efficient manner.

I suspect everyone here has a Google account so this shouldn't be a problem. You'd be doing me a huge favor by not posting issues in this thread, as I've also released this theme on deviantART and the Steam forums, and as you can imagine it would be quite difficult to follow all three.

Thanks!

I've just installed this skin for myself. I don't see myself changing from it again in the future. Really, excellent job BoneyardBrew.

Wow, that means a lot! Thanks, Paul!

This is an outstanding skin, I'm glad it got released!

Had one small issue (reported on google code) but it doesn't deter me from using it at all!

Thank you for the comment and the bug report!

Just installed this and it looks great. is there any way to get the screenshots on the game pages like in the official skin?

Thanks!

I was trying to work that in the begin with but Valve really strapped down the code for the images. The best solution was unfortunately leaving them out altogether.

Love it.

Thank you!

Looks nice!

Thanks, Jan!

    • A new wallpaper... high définition... I know ! this one really cleared my skin, it boosted my crops and grew my hair an extra inch.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.
