Here's another (this time inspired by a sweet I found in my handbag):Īnnnnd another in more of a sage green restful combo:
#2016 STEAM SKINS DOWNLOAD#
If you want you can also download skins other people have created pretty easily. I whipped up this lilac thing just to try it out (although I will likely grow to hate it in a few minutes). If you prefer to create funky (and potentially painful) colour combos and font options for yourself there is also the Steam Customizer tool which lets you craft new colour ways for the interface pretty easily.

PixelVision² Steam forum link plus download info Steam Customizer I prefer my Steam skins lighter these days, but it's a decent darker option if you're in the mood for that plus I prefer some of the menu organisation.
#2016 STEAM SKINS SKIN#
Since I last checked in a new dev has taken on the challenge of keeping the skin up-to-date while maintaining the simplicity resulting in PixelVision². It stopped being updated by its creator, Pulseh, back in 2015 and I think Pressure ended up being touted as a potential replacement. The original Pixelvision was a skin I found uncomfy, mostly because of the small font size, but it has its own group of aficionados. I think for me that makes the skin read like an oddly conspicuous hybrid in some ways and I do like being able to add a splash of colour but you might find it absolutely dandy. That's why you've got the big old back button in the top left. What it seeks to do is make the interface a bit sleeker and more legible while riffing on Longhorn (i.e. Plexed is one of those skins I skipped over because I thought it was pretty close to the default look of Steam but on closer inspection it seems really neat and tidy. I'd say Metro is probably the most popular Steam Skin out there. It's also one of the few which has been maintained over the years and, like Air, has its own Patreon. I reinstalled it to check in and I'm not as fond of it as I used to be but it has an incredibly dedicated following. There are some degrees of customisation when it comes to accent colour and font and so on via a web app.
Metro is somewhere between classic Steam and Air (soooo Mist, maybe?) and I used to use it as my default. Without that ongoing maintenance skins can become messy as Valve tweak and change the Steam interface. It's the image in the header of this post if you're curious! What do you mean I need to get out more? The other thing I like about Air - and which has not been the case for several other favoured Steam skins over the years - is that the developer has kept it up-to-date, even starting a Patreon to try to make sure the project is a viable use of time. Air is my go-to Steam skin when I'm not using the default and I've currently got it in light mode with sea green accents to match the work Slack chatroom on my desktop. In recent years it has also added a dark option if pale isn't your cup of tea and has a bunch of easy-to-follow colour customisation options in the config file. But there's a chance you've missed out - or you're hankering for a change of digital scenery - so here's an updated list featuring five of the best Steam skins.Īs always, take care when downloading and installing anything as we can't guarantee the safety of stuff outside RPS! AirĪir is a minimalist, bright 'n' breezy overhaul of the interface with lots of aqua and pale grey by default. Skins have been around for years now so you might have encountered some of these already - certainly, the community has clustered round a few good skins with a smattering of irregularly updated fan service when it comes to particular games, anime or My Little Pony ( I will always be fond of Fluttershy even though it's horribly out of date now - RIP Fluttershy). Some are pretty much just recolouring options while others want to have their wicked way with your menus, refining or rejigging them. Steam skins let you change up how your Steam client looks.
