Library Font Size change

[Cmdr. Laserstrahl]

Hey Guys,

as the title says, how to change the font size of the library scroll menu on the left? And is it possible to hide the icons? Seems it slows down everything when I scroll trough the games...

Regards,
Cmdr.

Look in your settings, under interface, check the box to scale front to your window. For less lag, either mixed results for those, depending either using IGPU, over GPU, so the 4 boxes in image below check them, and test, also under web broswer delete cache, and cookies, and restart client, give it a test, see if that helps.

Under library to view more of your game panels set them to small, also the check boxes if want to reduce bandwidth usage, check the boxes, and for lower performance usage check the box for that as well, once done, restart client, and test.

Hey Shadowds,

thanks for advice. Unfortunately I have all this preferences set already. :( It looks so bulky. Is there an option to set font size (like 10pt, 12pt, etc.) directly?

Cheers,
Cmdr.

To manually set it not that I know of, but uncheck the box to scale front, see if it get bigger or smaller, if it get bigger, then just revert it.

Well actually I found out that you can mess with font-size by editing this file:

<Install-path-of-steam>\Steam\resource\styles\steam.styles

It seems to be XML based an editable. However there are so many parameter in it that it seems to be impossible to find the right tag... Does anyone know if there is something like a documentation available? For modders or something?

Cheers,
Cmdr.

I'm having the same problem finding the right tag in it.

Tag, or front size problem?

Follow Setting Up from here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_Skins

(Don't have to do the -dev part but it's useful to help find the elements & properties and preview things. If running Steam with -dev, press F12 to open DevTools - there you can select & modify the elements and their properties. Changes made there are displayed in the Steam window on the fly)

In your skin's Resource folder, open webkit.css and save it with this line included (choose the size you want*):
.gamelistentry_GameListEntryContainer_1vO6B{font-size:20px}

(Don't know if there is a better element to modify for this but that's what I found when I was looking for this a good while back.)

Set the Skin (Steam > Settings > Interface > Select the skin you wish Steam to use...)

* Original value is 13px but I set mine at 20px. Going larger, I found things start to overlap or are further cut-off (check the game at the bottom of the list, at 20px perhaps letters which descend below the line are lost, don't know though...).
For larger sizes I think you'd want to find other elements/properties that determine the spacing of things and adjust them accordingly.



To check things out on the fly with DevTools:
Run Steam with -dev command
Go to Library page
Press F12
Think DevTools opens to 'Elements' tab, but if not, select 'Elements' tab
Choose the Select(?)/Inspect(?) tool (mouse cursor icon, left of 'Elements' tab)
In Steam, click a game in the list
Back in DevTools, in Filter box in the right pane (should be on 'Styles' tab), type: font-size
Should take you to font-size property currently under .gamelistentry_Container_2-O4Z
Click the value to adjust it, can type in your value or press Up/Down
Use that value for the new entry in webkit.css


See how that goes - think it should be good.
