I found another few things to love about steam!

 

Now I can accesses Steam Overlay while in MC. 

 

My Library looks like this!

And Steam looks like this!

Yay! I love it! Sorry if most people knew about this. I was searching how to get an image for MC and I saw some other things!

The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on port priority. The RPS metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches.

Only Abate, Axe, and Wobbles can save us.

I used to run different themes for steam, but ever since I switched my HDD I haven't got around to changing it again. Certain ones make the whole steam experience better IMO.

I switch between the "Metro for Steam" and "PixelVision" skins. Using PixelVision now.

All you have to do is search online for Steam Skins, and to install you simply place them in the Skins folder where you installed Steam. Then go Settings -> Interface and you should see a dropdown box to select your skin.

Tried it but I didn't find it very functional and good looking. My library is the standard one, but I do set categories to easily find games in a given genre.

Cool. How did you do that?

 

I remember they used to have some in-built skins which are no longer available.

 

 

How do you do that??

For the skins you put them in the steam skins folder located in system>X86 files(or where you have steam instaled)>steam>skins

I use Metro for Steam. I find the UI more pleasing to the eye and the UI layout is better for me. Plus magenta fonts.

I really wish you could hide games from that view. I'd use it, if it weren't for the beta versions and mac versions of all of the game there. It just makes it look really untidy.

You can...Rollover Library and click Installed. Hides em all. I hated that too. I have L4D2 beta and GTASA Mac hidden.

Thanks, that's much better, although I only have 3 games installed atm so it looks a little crappy. :P
