Steam skinning has been a dying art for years, maybe this is the end? I really loved Plexed, started using it in 2014 or 2015 and had it all the way until the last major GUI redesign that seems to have broken all skins. It was fun whilst it lasted! :D

Valve has fully disabled Steam skinning as I know it. If anyone tells me otherwise I'd love to do something if I had the time, but it might be a while. Been a busy couple years for me.

Plexed hasn't been working for me for ages, is it still a thing and is it still being worked on? I miss it 😩:feeling:
Skrypcio Jun 14, 2023 @ 5:08pm 
Soo, theres whole big update again, is there any chance that well be able and if so, someone could fix plexed?

For those using Plexed 5, I fixed the top bar being missing in the latest Steam update:

Copy and paste the entire contents of https://pastebin.com/raw/VqZzPH2q into Steam\skins\Plexed 5\resource\layout\uinavigatorpanel.layout . Back up the original file just in case.

Preview: https://i.imgur.com/AnlcuEF.png :steamthumbsup:

EDIT: Updated the layout file again to fix a new bottom bar that got added.

Entire interface was gone, I had to revert to the default skin for now :feeling:

Latest steam update breaks the top bar sadly, I'm sure you're aware though.
saabrejsarN^ Aug 26, 2022 @ 11:19am 
The old Vista-like theme was gawjes, but it'd probs look a bit out of place on today's flat and boring UIs. :FrogPepe: Though I sorta do miss that look, too :D

I'm currently using Plexed 5, and the only issue I'm experiencing is in the Settings window. A few of of the sections have some of their options cramped up towards the top of the window on top of each other (not all of the options in a few of the sections, just a few of the section's options.)

Also, this isn't an issue, but I miss the big Vista-like back and forward buttons that 4.7 had.

I'm a Plexed user to this day, I think I got it back in 2015 and it's still my go-to skin :D Loving it, keep up the good work! :cool_eol:

Plexed seems to have an issue with the Report function UI on profiles not letting you scroll down far enough. I'm currently using 4.7 and I'm not sure if the issue is present in 5.0 or not. I'll wait for the version 5 update and the steam library update to pass before commenting further.

Nice that you keep the Skin updated so it works with the newest version of Steam. Keep up the good work Andy!
Andy Jun 12, 2019 @ 7:28am 
Haven't heard of that but I have recently been told that the leaked build with the new Steam redesign allows you to skin the client through CSS. Should that feature exist in the final release... well, Plexed won't be going away any time soon.

I'm not sure if this will change things or not, or if you already knew about this but there is a way to skin and change the look of the new friends list ui. i haven't tried it myself but there is a github for a steam friends ui patcher which lets you change the look of the friends ui by letting you modify and change the friends.css file used by the new friends window.

https://github.com/PhantomGamers/SteamFriendsPatcher

i'm not sure if this is something you may look into trying to use as i'm not sure how much is able to be changed with this and the method to create a skin for the new friends ui is way different compared to a normal steam skin because the new friends list is basically just a stripped down version of google chrome.

here are some examples of skins made using this method:

Nice Steam Skin with my favourite blue~
Andy Nov 21, 2018 @ 3:54am 
Will investigate, thanks for the heads up.
大家,早安 Nov 20, 2018 @ 10:58pm 
Having tiny issues with the general tab in game properties. Not sure what the new button is, since I don't use it, nor the default skin.
Andy Jul 26, 2018 @ 12:51pm 
Thank you!
⎛⎝goodusername12345⎠⎞ Jul 26, 2018 @ 2:03am 
I love the new update it's great!
Andy Jul 25, 2018 @ 9:34am 
Thanks!
saabrejsarN^ Jul 25, 2018 @ 9:34am 
Wow, you work fast! Thanks for the update, Plexed is superb!
Andy Jul 25, 2018 @ 9:30am 
The update released last night, check the announcements section.
saabrejsarN^ Jul 25, 2018 @ 9:29am 
Steam got a new chat, profile button is all the way up to the left and unclickable atm. If you have the time, please update :areusureaboutthat:
zeroxxx Jul 24, 2018 @ 8:22pm 
Downloaded and applied the new version -- looks great as always thank you very much for your continued updates.
Andy Jul 24, 2018 @ 6:36pm 
Writing the readme right now, lol. Good timing!
zeroxxx Jul 24, 2018 @ 6:35pm 
Waitin' for Finch update :steamhappy:
Andy Jun 12, 2018 @ 5:15pm 
Yup, was talking with the guy behind Metro for Steam earlier about it but I was at work. New stuff is apparently done in Panorama, going to look into this and see if I can fix it... if not I'll be even more disappointed in Valve than usual.
Lulu Rainsong Jun 12, 2018 @ 12:47pm 
New Steam Beta update, means the skin is screwed up. Big time.

This skin is great- thank you very much for keeping it updated.

Quick question- where can I find restart Steam on Plexed 4.5?
Andy Apr 23, 2018 @ 7:04pm 
Thanks!
TEWebster Apr 23, 2018 @ 2:38pm 
You've got a new user in me. The simple practicality here is great (and I love the giant arrow!). Glad to see it's still being updated!
Andy Apr 1, 2018 @ 10:05am 
Thank you for using it!
zeroxxx Apr 1, 2018 @ 3:23am 
This skin is one hell of a skin, I like it very much (Finch ver). Thanks for your effort.
saabrejsarN^ Mar 15, 2018 @ 11:01am 
Well, I appreciate your effort! Go for it then :french:
Andy Mar 13, 2018 @ 4:02pm 
I apparently rewrote a lot of the DirectWrite-dependent stuff over the years, only had to redo the layout code for the stuff in the top-right. Thankfully was less than half an hour to fix, not counting the time I spent getting used to doing this again, lol. I want to make sure everyone who wants to use the skin can.
saabrejsarN^ Mar 13, 2018 @ 9:48am 
You don't have to spend hours on Mac compatiblity just because my secondary computer happens to be a Mac, I don't even play games on it :poilu: Still, there might be someone else who wants Mac support!
Andy Mar 12, 2018 @ 7:11am 
It probably won't work well due to various shortcuts I used to render some things years ago not working without DirectWrite. Thanks to a lack of physical space I still haven't been able to set up my tower PC that had an in-progress build of 4.5 on it, but I might as well just start from scratch and finally fix that. I don't have a Mac to test it on, but I'll see what I can do.
saabrejsarN^ Mar 12, 2018 @ 12:44am 
Anyone know if Plexed works on a Mac? Been using the skin on Windows 7 for years and years and years but I have a Mac too and I'd love to have it installed on this thing too :goldbars:
Ridley12, Knight of God Jan 14, 2018 @ 6:59pm 
Yes, I extracted them to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Skins.
Ridley12, Knight of God Jan 14, 2018 @ 6:18pm 
I extracted Plexed (and Plexed Finch, to see the difference between the two), and the only option to choose is "<default skin>".
Andy Oct 28, 2017 @ 8:04am 
Thanks!

Been using this skin for years, love it! c:
Andy Oct 18, 2017 @ 5:28pm 
Sure, I'll see what I can do. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I'll get in touch with a few people and figure out the best way to handle distributing that - if a friend of mine is available to develop a customization app (which would also fix our DPI woes) I'd love to have something like that. Otherwise I'll just distribute two versions of the skin.
zeroxxx Oct 18, 2017 @ 1:00am 
Hi, this is a brilliantly designed skin. Though, to be quite honest, there's one major block for myself to using this on regular basis - it's the DOWNLOAD PROGRESS when on normal game list page.

I am using a metered connection, and when something happens automatically, be it poorly setup auto update of my part, or something else, on the background on regular Steam skin, it shows download activity in the footer. This skin doesn't, and instead it displays a simple progress bar, almost unnoticeable for me, at the URL bar. When you're on metered connection, a slip up like this could cost you dearly real-money wise.

Can you add an option so I can have the footer back?
Andy Sep 10, 2017 @ 11:36am 
Thank you!
randomkiller Sep 10, 2017 @ 8:36am 
I enjoyed your skin.Thumbs up:steamhappy:
Andy Jul 11, 2017 @ 3:24pm 
Unable to replicate on the latest Steam beta builds & it's something on Valve's end anyways.
Snickers Jul 11, 2017 @ 1:48pm 
I think the music player is glitched.. For some reason, when I'm ingame, I open up the music player and turn on shuffle and nothing happens it just plays all the songs in order. But, when I open the music player when im not playing any games and turn on shuffle, everything works just fine.
Andy Jul 6, 2017 @ 8:58pm 
That should be entirely on Valve's end - with very few exceptions I don't have any control over text. Thank you, though! Will look & see if it's one of those exceptions.

Hey, great work on the skin, it's one of my favourites.

I found a typo recently while idling games for cards, if you try to launch something else the box that pops up says "Contine" instead of "Continue."
