To those wanting to use Metro UI or something verryyy close to it, Milennium is the recommended option, as Steams official Skin/Theme support has been dead since early 2023— you can view the source here

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_Skins

There is a link to Milennium, and no, using it is NOT a violation of TOS, in any regard, I highly doubt Valve would link to it if it were indeed that way, they merely give you a standard warning about third party software in general— corporate jargon in the end but its reliable and ethical to include here.

The specific theme you'd want via Milennium is "Metro by Rose" while it is not a perfect recreation, it comes pretty dang close, I dont personally use it, but I do like it as someone who used to use Metro back in the day when steam skins werw still around.

Hope this helps <3

The new Steam client beta update dropped, and the interface got a big overhaul (now it's on Electron I guess). Changed almost (if not) every window to the new design (including settings).

However, with all of that, there is no button to change skin: https://i.imgur.com/LOy4lo2.png
So it can be said that skinning for Steam is officially dead.

It's been a fun ride. Thank you everyone involved in this project. I used that skin almost since the beginning.

There was a problem after the steam update 02.02.23. The interface simply disappears after entering the library. At the top where the store, library and so on. Will it be fixed or not?(

Merhaba, 02/01/23 tarihli buhar güncellemesinden sonra bir sorun oluştu. Arayüz, kitaplığa girdikten sonra kaybolur. En üstte bulunduğu yerde mağaza, kütüphane vb. Düzelecek mi, düzelmeyecek mi?

Привет, возникла проблема после обновления стима 01.02.23. Интерфейс после захода в библиотеку просто пропадает. В верху где магазин, библиотека и так далее. Это будут фиксить или нет?

@徐胖子:
It seems change steam account was removed. You can now change account by using the log out of account from the profile dropdown, (near the inbox icon)

Also for some reason the unofficial patch still has the change steam account . Don't know why :D
Oct 19, 2022 @ 8:02am 
yes ,i can't find change your steam account too
Oct 18, 2022 @ 8:33pm 
i can‘t find it
Oct 18, 2022 @ 12:22pm 
@龙争虎斗加基森: it should be on the hamburger menu on the left side. If you're using the unofficial patch then it is on the steam menu on the left side
Oct 18, 2022 @ 9:18am 
where is the CHANGE STEAM ACCOUNT ?
Oct 17, 2022 @ 11:01am 
@KILLA: type the letter h in the search bar , in your library, and the hidden category will show up. If you're using the unofficial patch you can also find an option called `Hidden Games` in the hamburger menu
Oct 7, 2022 @ 4:56pm 
@BlackL1NE: go in the skin folder then in resource folder and delete steamscheme.res
Oct 6, 2022 @ 2:23pm 
Hey, i've reinstalled Steam today, but didn't delete the skins folder and my "Full Screen" button in top right corner has disappeared. Any fixes?
Aug 24, 2022 @ 1:38pm 
@WetBread: valve changed the ui and the website was made before this change.
Aug 22, 2022 @ 9:40am 
I am curious on the website how i get my downloads to look like that, any ideas?
Aug 13, 2022 @ 11:47am 
Has anyone else lost the button to change the size of the tab with the Metro?
Jul 14, 2022 @ 4:52am 
@ツ : library cannot be skinned with the usually method. You can check the discord of the unofficial patch to find out how to skin it
Jul 13, 2022 @ 4:20am 
I have a question, why is the background in the library gray and opaque as usual, how to fix it and is it possible to fix it at all?
Jul 4, 2022 @ 8:01am 
@WikWikLMU: the downloads are on the top right download button. If you look closely it has a progress bar below it
Jul 4, 2022 @ 7:50am 
Why cant i see the downloads at the bottom of the application?
Jun 29, 2022 @ 1:13am 
@The Doom Slayer: library can no longer be skinned. However there is an alternative by using a third-party app. Check the unofficial patch discord channel for more info.
Jun 27, 2022 @ 9:38am 
Change the library, this new ui is irritating me:steamthumbsdown:
Mar 24, 2022 @ 9:39am 
@nvm: valve changed how the library works so that cannot be changed by official means. Check out the unofficial patch discord group for a way to skin those
Mar 24, 2022 @ 9:03am 
why doesnt it change the library
Mar 14, 2022 @ 3:05pm 
@RedSigma we have this feature in the original version, why not in metro skin?
Mar 14, 2022 @ 2:24pm 
@JZNS: it's not possible to add things. Skins can only edit the appearance of existing things
Mar 13, 2022 @ 5:35pm 
We really can't chage the user by the metro interface? its possible add a button for that?
Feb 19, 2022 @ 5:16am
