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

We'll be keeping an eye out for any possible Ostriches, and also ways to fix skinning for everybody.

That's all ... for now.

New Steam Update / Friends List

2 серпня 2018 р. - fediaFedia | Коментарів: 4

Alright folks it's time to talk about the elephant in the room

Steam has released a new design for the Friends list which may have affected how SteamCustomizer skins looked if you downloaded them prior to the update.

Here's what you can do:

Redownload and re-apply your skins from the website

This should fix issues with the layout as the skinning engine will "build" the skin based on new Steam files. You can even locate your *.stskin files and just open them again.

You can also disable the custom skin from View > Settings > Interface - selecting < default skin > or from Skin Manager (in your startmenu)

Meanwhile, as far as supporting the friends list skinning, we're not sure yet as Valve still seems to be developing it and it's not finished.

Skininng the friends list is not possible at the moment

We hope that eventually it will be possible to skin the Friends list, in the meantime that's not possible. Additionaly, we will be closely observing Valve's developement of the theorized new client UI and try to modify SteamCustomizer to support it.

That's all folks!

Please continue looking for the missing Ostriches

We noticed skins can't be applied in the latest BETA release of Steam, there is a special version of the Skin Manager now on our download page that you can try: https://steamcustomizer.com/download
