The New Official Group for Steam Customizer

Alright so let's talk about the elephant in the room

We know Valve has been messing with skinning for a while now, and today it seems that the new steam library UI is no longer beta. All summer long and in autumn we've been looking for ways to skin that new stuff - should be easy right? It's just CSS / HTML. Way easier than the old steam skin format at least.

THE PROBLEM

These files sit outside of the skins folder, meaning they are bound by verification each time steam launches. So any changes we could make to those files to accommodate skins would be wiped quickly.

There are some hacks to go around this with memory injection, but honestly we believe it's VAC-ban territory and isn't a particularly sexy solution.

WHAT CAN YOU DO

You can always bug Valve to get them to re-introduce skinning support for the Steam library, if these CSS/HTML files can be packaged along with skins, then it wouldnt be difficult to re-vive support for most Steam skins that have been neutered by this update.

WHAT WE DID

At this time we removed the non-editable features from SteamCustomizer, it's still possible to skin the client frame but I agree with you it's not what it used to be. We patched the tool to apply skins correctly too.

You need to re-download the tool and re-apply your skins
