BoneyardBrew Member Posted May 8, 2012 Author Member Share Posted May 8, 2012 Thanks for including the font. I couldn't find it ANYWHERE (literally went through 15 pages of Google), which is incredibly rare these days. It looks much nicer (read: how it's supposed to) now! You're welcome! :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1066270-metro-for-steam-368/page/5/#findComment-594853807 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoneyardBrew Member Posted May 15, 2012 Author Member Share Posted May 15, 2012 Awesome skin! Thank you! Version 1.2 - Download Color and font options. There are now 9 color choices and both large and small font sizes to choose from! Reduced font size across client. The large option is smaller than the old default. New icons for favorites and the cloud. Added a few more options to the menu, including an easy way to see what version of the theme you are currently using. Other misc. changes.

Excelsis Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Welp, that does it. With the inclusion of small fonts, that pretty much makes this the best Steam skin around, PERIOD. Even included the games' background images. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1066270-metro-for-steam-368/page/5/#findComment-594866395 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auroka Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Great update! I like that you included a check for theme updates button. (Y) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1066270-metro-for-steam-368/page/5/#findComment-594867349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneyardBrew Member Posted May 15, 2012 Author Member Share Posted May 15, 2012 Great update! I like that you included a check for theme updates button. (Y) Thank you! I had that idea earlier on and also vaguely remembered other themes doing it so I figured why not. I've been needing an excuse to design a web page so I may make a simple one to link to the version check. :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1066270-metro-for-steam-368/page/5/#findComment-594867475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKay Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I'm probably being a bit stupid here, but how do I change colours? Absolutely love the Theme by the way, thank you for going ahead with it and releasing it!

BoneyardBrew Member Posted May 16, 2012 Author Member Share Posted May 16, 2012 I'm probably being a bit stupid here, but how do I change colours? Absolutely love the Theme by the way, thank you for going ahead with it and releasing it! No question is stupid. :) Go to the skin's directory and open up config.ini. Remove the two slashes from the line that has the color of your choosing. For example, if you'd like to use the orange color scheme your config would look like this. //COLORS //include "resource/styles/options/color_red.styles" include "resource/styles/options/color_orange.styles" //include "resource/styles/options/color_yellow.styles" //include "resource/styles/options/color_green.styles" //include "resource/styles/options/color_blue.styles" //include "resource/styles/options/color_purple.styles" //include "resource/styles/options/color_violet.styles" //include "resource/styles/options/color_magenta.styles" //include "resource/styles/options/color_teal.styles"[/CODE] I'm thrilled to hear that you love it! Thanks for giving it a shot. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1066270-metro-for-steam-368/page/5/#findComment-594870241 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excelsis Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Have you started work on the overlay? It looks kinda dodgy atm. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1066270-metro-for-steam-368/page/5/#findComment-594875617 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneyardBrew Member Posted May 19, 2012 Author Member Share Posted May 19, 2012 Have you started work on the overlay? It looks kinda dodgy atm. Not yet, but that and the browser are pretty high on the to-do list. I think it's safe to say I'll be fixing them for 1.3. The only thing I'm not too sure on is what to keep and what to toss away. People tend to say it has too much info, so should I just remove the boxes entirely for friends, screenshots, etc.? I rarely use them myself. A possible solution would be to add an option for an overlay that has a similar layout to the current setup and a slim layout.

Ambroos Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I really don't get how you guys haven't been hired by Microsoft/Mozilla/Valve/Whatever yet. The interface designs you guys make, whatever it may be, look a-ma-zing.

Excelsis Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Currently stuck on my Windows XP rig (bad flash...) and the skin looks odd. The gap between Library and the dropdown arrow changes depending on if I choose All Games, Recently Played, Installed, etc... And there's the 'VIEW...' over the avatar area. Nothing major but here's a screenshot. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1066270-metro-for-steam-368/page/5/#findComment-594885813 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excelsis Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Yea I did, the text looks completely different without it.

Not sure why it does that, everything else looks the way it should from what I can tell. I designed it around those fonts so it gets a bit wonky without them. This is going back to the basics, but you put the theme in the skins folder and not Steam's main directory, right? If so (and if you haven't done so already), delete the folder completely and download the latest version.I hope one of these work.

Excelsis Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I actually had my main rig's HDD in my XP rig (hence most of my games being installed), so it was the same steam install, I just redownloaded the skin to install the fonts in XP. I already tried all that, including installing Steam from scratch but nothing worked. Can't test it out anymore though because I put another gig of RAM in the XP rig and installed 7. I just can't use XP anymore despite the fact I miss the custom visual styles.

We'll just tuck it under the rug. :p Very nice (Y) I'm no fan of Metro but in this case it works really really well :happy: good job :) It feels great to hear praise from someone who isn't even a fan of Metro.

BoneyardBrew Member Posted May 28, 2012 Author Member Share Posted May 28, 2012 New screenshots! https://www.cubby.co...d375182bfe3/1.3 Changes: Bug Fixes New Controls Window Borders - easier separation between windows Redesigned Friends List New Notifications New Overlay Style - a slim version with just the bar shown and another version with the friends, achievements, and screenshot boxes Slimmed down main window header Border below header for contrast between the header and library, also acts as a container for the progress bar (see progress bar screenshot to see it in action) Cog icon to replace menu text, can be seen in the main window as well as the friend's list That's what I have so far. I'd like to iron out a few more of the reported bugs and finish the overlay browser before I release this update. It's shaping up to be a big one!
