Steam Client Skin with Larger Fonts

[TE5LA]

I couldn't really find any depository for Steam skins so I'll just post here with a link to it on Google Drive. Don't reply with things like "You're trying to give people a virus". You don't have to download it if you are paranoid.

This is a slight modification to the original Steam skin. A lot of people don't have issues with the design of the default skins but some don't like the small text especially on a high-res monitor or whose eyes aren't so good. I used a slightly different font and increased some text sizes, like the games list and the small menu and it's headings at the top. I also made some headings yellow instead of white for better contrast. The games list is wider to to accommodate larger text and fit longer game titles.

INSTALLATION:

Just unzip the package and copy the BigFonts folder into the Steam skins folder, found normally at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\skins\

Then just peruse to Steam's top menu bar:

STEAM > SETTINGS > INTERFACE

Select the BigFonts skin in the drop down menu and click OK. Steam will restart.

There are plenty already without it being advertised on the forums.

Yes, there are plenty of skins, most of which don't actually work: have text that overlaps, etc. I have also not found any that address the tiny text.

Also, those sites don't allow adding skins:

"Submit Skin
Under construction…"

But thanks for your unconstructive input.

And, BTW, it isn't "advertising". Advertising is doing something for commercial products or services. This is a freebie.

Advertising does not only encompass paid services.

On Steam, the definition is broader to prevent spam.

You're welcome.

That's cool.

I'm actually quite surprised that when I went to look for skins for this very purpose.. there were very few and far between.

Quite amazing while there are TONS of skins for windows skinning packages that there is slim to none for pickings pertaining to the Steam client.

I gave up even bothering with skins for this interface.

Knowing my luck too .. the second I find one that actually works.. 'valve time' alarm will go off and then a new update will be pushed rendering the skin useless.

Thanks for advertising this here, works pretty well.
