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.

Steam Logo.psd

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!

Version 1.0 is released! Go grab it from deviantART!

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!

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.

      No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
