Title: Help making more Steam skins?
Post by: LuaTenshi on February 06, 2014, 03:30:01 PM
Have you heard of these magical things called Steam skins? I was wondering if any one wanted to get together and make some more awesome Steam skins for the new steam lay out, because you don't really see good steam skins any more.

What about http://metroforsteam.com/ (http://metroforsteam.com/) ? That skin is AWESOME!
(At least, to an OCD person... :p)

No, there is a LOT more to it than HTML.
I tried (and failed) at it...

I'll take a look at the sample skin included and edit from there.
Might write a tutorial.

I use pixelvision, I hadn't seen the metro one yet, it's really nice. I may switch. I don't get what it has to do with OCD though.

Edit:I tried the metro skin; it's very nice, but I've grown accustom to pixelvision.

It wouls be nice for steam to have a built in Steam Skin Workshop. That way it's easier to get updates and try/find new skins.

I know that whenever I have my nervous ticks and uncontrollable anxiety the only thing that can stop them is my cool new steam skin.

It uses a language very similar to CSS, not sure if there are any specific tutorials for making a steam skin though.

Straight lines, single colors, flat everything, modern design, etc etc etc.

I think you mean esthetically pleasing. OCD is a severe mental disorder, not liking things that are neat and in order.
