How do you make your skins? With Steam Paint?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I use Photoshop and Notepad. Steam Paint is very, very limited. I actually recommend people avoid it if they are serious about skinning Steam.

Hmm, I looked through all the TGA files, but I don't really see the images that I see in the Steam skin. It's confusing, lol.

hey man me and my friend installed this skin for steam and it is amazing
only complaint is when you play half life 1 games the steam overlay there is a white border on the friends list. its a bug we both have it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that is a bug with the overlay engine in the old Half Life games. The only way for me to fix it would be to remove some shadows, which I don't plan on doing. Hopefully Valve will fix the engine sometime soon to correct the issue.

Awesome skin! I had been looking pretty inactively for a Steam skin for quite some time, as all the basic steam skins are bland and boring. I found this and immediately installed it! Wonderful skin. I just went in and took out the stripes, mainly because they mess with my reading and all with them there. Only for personal use, though, promise.

That's fine! I am glad you like it.

looks good save for those red lines. the color doesn't seem to go with the rest of the theme at all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I hear that quite often. Unfortunately, I also have heard people love the red lines. So I added a set of simple steps for removing the red lines in the description.

Seems like a very solid skin. Sweet man thanks

Thank you very much for this very beautyfull skin but it seems I have a little problem. When I use the in-game interface, friends messenger looks like the image below.

Is it possible to remove these white stripes?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have not found out how to do so, as it only appears in the old games, like CS 1.6. Most of my skins have that same problem, so if I ever figure out how to fix it, I will update all of them.

I don't like the background, and the red text needs to go because red on black isn't that good on the eyes.
Everything else is fine, no real complaints, it's just those that stick out.
Slate is absolutely amazing though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for the feedback; I really do appreciate it.
The background is a little weird, but it is better than just a solid color, as the rest of the skin is very "complex" with all of the gradients and hover effects. A few people have emailed me about the red color, but most people really like it, and it is bad design to not have a secondary color. Also, it isn't any brighter/stronger than the color of most of the text found throughout the skin, so I saw no reason to remove it.
I can always send you instructions on how to remove the background and/or the red, if you would like.

Please, tell me how to remove the "Carbon" background and the red lines. For me it completely ruin the skin.(Created an account just to say that)

Thanks for asking this question dude. Same problem.
Ps : Great skin, goes perfect with my BlackTheme and thanks for responding

Removing red lines is fast & easy, but removing Pattern.tga cause a Steambug. You can just modify the file with an image editor like Photoshop.

Sure thing; let me know if you need help.
I would suggest you install Notepad++, which is a free replacement for the default Notepad program that comes with Windows. It will allow you to search for a few things in a long file and edit them easily, as well as showing you the line numbers.
To remove the red elements:
1.) Go into the Carbon folder (usually C:\Program Files\Steam\skins\)
2.) Go into the Resource folder
3.) Open SteamScheme.res in any text editor (Notepad works great, but I STRONGLY recommend Notepad++)
4.) Replace all instances of "168 000 000 255" with "168 168 168 255" (4 total: Lines 29, 56, 591 157)
5.) Replace all instances of "224 000 000 255" with "244 244 244 255" (1 total: Line 30)
6.) Save and restart Steam
To remove the Carbon background:
1.) Go into the Carbon folder (usually C:\Program Files\Steam\skins\)
2.) Go into the Graphics folder
3.) Delete Pattern.tga (or, better yet, rename it or change its extension, just in case)
4.) Restart Steam

I'm using it right now, and it looks great. I love the buttons at the bottom of the main window! Very well-done, and fits perfectly with the new design of the Steam website.
