I've always wanted to try this myself, but I can't find any tutorial on the internet for it. When I googled, I found stuff on how to treat my skin with gentle steam and cucumbers.

Does anyone know how to do it?

Somewhere in the Steam folder there is a folder full of images (.tga I think). Just copy that folder, rename it, and change the images.

He did, but it didn't work (for me at least).

That's because they've changed the steam interface. The OLD steam you defined new values in a res file (under skins)

In the new one, you do as Wil5on said and edit the TGA files. It's under "resource" and "resource >> borders"

Write over them (obviously back them up first) and you should have a new skin ... I'm sure there's a skin import function as well. Don't know though.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I beleive you can copy the resource folder into the skins folder and rename it, and Steam can use the new folder as a skin.

There must be a way to change it indirectly so that the new custom skin could be picked from the skin selection option.

Changing the .tga directly feels like hacking to me. It is just not proper or gentlemanly.

Thats what I said. Copy the folder, and you should be able to select it from the menu.

You might have to go into a config file in the folder, however.
