Great job keeping this up even after Valve breaks the skin almost every update!

One day it would be great to see a tenfoot skin, that is of course if Valve supports skinning it.

Thanks! It's a lot of work but has been a labor of love.

That would definitely be an interesting project. We'd be looking at a full Metro remake if they supported it.

Awesome update :)

Thanks for your time.

Jumping from 2.5.5 -> 2.7.1. I wish I still had time to play games >.<

Thanks, and you're welcome! That's a decent jump. Hopefully you like the new changes!

I'm being really really stupid but I can't find the download button, Im looking on the Deviantart page but nothing.

Upper right, below the "Browse More Like This" section. Here's a direct link.

Get it from here McKay: http://metroforsteam.com/

I've updated again. Can't wait to see the download widget >.<

DAMN HE SO FAST! D:

Haha, I just happened to visit Neowin and saw the thread in the Mini Spy. I was shocked, to be honest, as the thread hasn't been all that lively lately. :(

The download widget is being well received. I'll be releasing it soon!

There's something really depressing about a skin that makes it so convincingly metro while at the same time touch scrolling is utterly impossible. :<

Scrollbars aren't very fun to work with in Steam. :/ They're no smaller than the defaults though, so if those work fine these should too (and vice versa).

I tried that the download button takes you to DeviantArt.

Thanks BoneyardBrew!

No problem!

Well, if you find yourself in need of more testers.. LET ME TEST DAMNIT! :p

You'd think, but scroll bars are pretty narrow (there's no design reason for them to be wide when swipe-to-scroll becomes a fundamental part of the UX), and miss them by one pixel and you've just selected a bunch of text. :|

This skin just keeps getting better and better! been my default Steam skin for ages now (both my PCs, Mac is default Steam since not supported). I recommend this to my friends as well! you should be hired by Valve and make this the default UI! Keep up the fantastic work (Y)

True. I heard Big Picture Mode has iffy support for scrolling as well. Maybe Valve will focus more on improving their services with touch devices in the future.

Thank you, that means a lot. :)

First skin I've ever bothered to put onto Steam. I think I'll keep it :)

Nice work. (Y)

Enjoy!

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
