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!

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!

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. :|

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!
