Steam Skin

Anyone know exactly the process of making a Steam skin? What would I
have to make/edit. I didnt think this fell under art because its not
technically art, its more of a modding question.

Google? Steam forums?

I honestly don't know, but I'm sure that there is a tutorial out there somewhere for it.

I have made quite a few steam skins.. but now they changed it, so it may be different.

I normally like the default skins nowadays :biggrin:

With the new steam release, making skins is pretty easy. All the
interface elements are stored as .tga files. Any decent image editor
should be able to handle those files.

Yep. But remeber when editing a skin remeber to set it to RGB or
anything that gets rid of it being indexed, otherwise you have very
little option of color.

Actually if you open the file, RGBify it, then save it as indexed, it saves on filesize, and doesnt impact image quality unless you have more than 256 colours (which you shouldnt have on an application interface generally).
