How To Download Steam Skins

I've seen people who have had customized versions of the Steam application, usually with different graphics or stylings.

Steam Skins, Everything You Need To Know about them by Martin Brinkmann on May 16, 2012 in Tutorials - Last Update: September 17, 2018 - 5 comments The Steam software has become my main gaming hub even though I'm not using it exclusively for that. Download free apps and files about Gaming such as: Quake3: Arena v1.11, WolfDem v0.1, Gradient Thief, EB Worlds Demo, MultiEx Commander v3.8b, Ken's Labyrinth Full Source Code, GameHost v1.50.0004, CPU Idle 5.8 Beta, GameSpy Arcade - GameSpy 1.4 Original Skin and Astatix Launcher.

How is this done?

Since you probably don't have any skins installed, you'll want to first find a skin online. Skins can be easily found online, either through a quick Google search, or a search through the Steam Users' Forums and other gaming forum sites.

Some popular Steam skins:

The basic gist of installing skins:

  • Download the skin files.
  • Extract and drop them into your Steam skins folder in your Steam directory. C: -> Program Files -> Steam -> Skins.
  • Head to the Interface section of your Steam Settings.

  • Pick the skin you want from the 'select the skin you wish Steam to use' drop down menu.

  • Restart Steam.

To install skins on Steam, you simply drag the skin's folder into the skins folder in your Steam install directory.

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.
