How do you install skins on Steam?
I've seen people who have had customized versions of the Steam application, usually with different graphics or stylings.
How is this done?
Best Answer
To install skins on Steam, you simply drag the skin's folder into the skins folder in your Steam install directory.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\skins\...
You can get some skins from some of these sites:
http://bit.ly/Z9fLZr - I Googled "Steam Skins"
http://www.metroforsteam.com/ - Steam Metro Skin
just to name a few. There are others found all over the internet. There should be a few on Daviant Art too.
To activate a skin, ensure that the skin's folder is dragged into your Steam "skins" folder.
Then, go to Steam > Settings > Interface and change the skin you want to use.
Then, restart Steam for the changes to appear (your newly selected skin to show/display).
As for how to make skins, that's complicated. More on that later when I get the time to complete. I found this: http://www.scribd.com/doc/87688286/Guide-How-to-Make-a-Steam-Skin-2 (not by me), but should explain how to make skins.
