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.

Still waiting for this beauty. :)

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.

    • New Surface Pro with Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 leaks ahead of announcement

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Forgive my ignorance, but the only difference I see here is that a USB-A is now a USB-C, so there are two of them. For the modern age (and I'd argue since 2020), most products would now come with USB-C as an option, if not the default. Display, charging, devices, etc on TWO connectors, sometimes all combined! So having 2 of those powerful ports is great for something this size! Meanwhile my Surface Pro (5) has a single USB-A port which I cannot even get display out to, instead relying on some Surface Connect dock which I don't have. That is a poor experience, not to mention expensive and not compatible with other devices. Thank God USB-C is mainstream!

      wow. that color finally comes to Surface Pro. was always a little jelly when a friend had the sandstone Surface Laptop. I wonder how different this dune is from the sandstone. I'll be getting the dune version. always thought black and platinum were a little boring. I'll still have access to my blue Surface Pro 11 as it'll be a hand-me-down.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.

      I'm no Apple fan, and have never bought an Apple product for myself. But I'd argue that where you think Apple is behind regarding an OLED display, that the vast majority of people out there wouldn't even know or care for an OLED. Apple have struck the balance well to create a price point that works, and I hope that PC manufactures, and Microsoft take notice. I'd argue that Asus will struggle to compete with the Neo BECAUSE they put in a more expensive OLED that many people won't actually notice with its deeper blacks. Most people wouldn't care either that their screen is stuck at 60Hz! When I bought a 4k monitor (future proof and for the space), my laptop could only push that out at 30Hz, and it worked fine for my needs for 1.5 years! Heck, the average human eye can't see more than 90Hz in many situations!! So while they are trying to differentiate themselves, and it may well gain them a few customers, for the most part, I think they're missing the point of what the Neo is for.
