Steam Client Skins Tutorial Video Lecture | Steam Tutorial: A Beginner's Guide - Game Development

before the video starts I just want to
announce that my discord is now open to
the public so if you'd like to join
click the link in the below in the
description and come talk to me and some
of my friends let's not lie the steam
client isn't the prettiest thing anymore
it hasn't been updated in quite a number
of years and still looks pretty outdated
by today's design standards everything
is so clean and sleek these days and
themes client just doesn't match that
too well so I'm going to be showing you
how to put a steamed skin on your steam
client to make it look that much better
so let's get right into it so I'm going
to open up my internet browser of choice
being Google Chrome I'm going to show
you a few of my favorite skins so this
is steam skins dot-org which has a lot
of steam skins to choose from made by
community members and such and such so
there's quite a few to choose from and
it's up to you which looks best to you
but personally there's not many that I
like on this site but it might be some
for you that you really like so I've
actually already picked my two that I
really like so I like Metro 15 this is
what I use on a regular basis you can
see down here there's a very sleek and
minimal steam skin to choose from and
there's also this other one called Air
Force team which is really nice and here
are some screenshots of that it reminds
me of the Ubisoft sort of you play
client look it's nice and blue with some
whites and all that and it looks really
nice there's also this site called theme
customizer comm and this is where you
can make your own theme skin it's quite
limited and what it can do but if you
want the default scheme skin with some
extra Flair and extra customization you
can do that so I'm just going to quickly
show you how to use this so you just
change all your settings here so I'm
going to go with kirusha and then change
your accent color I like the orange and
then your alert color which I'll match
with the orange and then okay there's a
larger option down here and I'm going to
click my Savina logo press ok
shrink it down and now you can see that
pop my logo behind everything up here
which looks pretty cool scroll down
further we can see there's more options
here like your online color and all that
and your in-game color so for your old
choose from and then there's like more
options with friends and more options
with dialog and all that sort of stuff
that you can mess with on your own time
if you don't want to mess around and
just want to get one that's pre-made you
can also check out community dot stems
customizer comm slash explore and
there's lots of custom ones that people
have made with this tool and some of
them actually look pretty nice so now
I'm going to actually show you how to
install these so I'm going to install
Metro for steam because that's the one I
like the best so I'm going to go to this
download link and then wait for it to
download so now that it's download what
we're going to do is we're going to
extract it from that folder so now it's
extracted to Metro 4 through 4 and what
I'm going to do is navigate to our steam
directory so copy this folder and then
navigate to your steam directory so it's
under usually Program Files x86 and then
scroll down to steam and then scroll
down to skins and then paste it in then
what you want to do is go to your Steam
client go to steam up the top settings
interface and then Metro 4 through 4
press ok and then restart steam this
will open up steam and restart it with
the new skin installed so now you can
see that steams loaded up with a new
Metro skin and it looks really really
nice so we can just go around and see
how it's purple instead of blue the
notification colors purple it's also
sleek and looks really good in my
opinion anyway that was my tutorial on
steam skins and just my general overview
