  • [Steam] Voici comment masquer la section What's NOUVEAU de la nouvelle bibliothèque Steam
    1 project | /r/enfrancais | 16 May 2023
  • GOOD NEWS for the steam skin community. It is possible to modify the new interface of the STEAM DECK.
    1 project | /r/Steam | 7 Mar 2022
    From what I could see, the new interface is created in the same way as the new STEAM library, which means that it is created with html, css.etc. and like this, if we execute in STEAM with the -dev parameter in its exe, it allows us to open the chrome inspector (it is the engine that steam uses). This is good news because as you know the steam library is modifiable with a patch called SteamFriendsPatcher from PhantomGamers allows us to modify the css and change the style of the library and that patch will probably also work for this interface since the build is the same

    Funny thing, you "Can" do this right now with a little bit knowledge of CSS. The Top part (that says magasin etc.) is part of Steam Skin part that you can examine https://metroforsteam.com/ readable Code to modify CSS to your liking. The Main part (anything except top) is the Steam New Library that un-modifiable unless you apply https://github.com/PhantomGamers/SteamFriendsPatcher on it.

    Your concept looks like a for me, guaranteed to make you uncomfortable. Besides you can do that right now if you know CSS and use https://github.com/PhantomGamers/SteamFriendsPatcher on your Library.

    This will only work for the old parts of the client, use SteamFriendsPatcher to skin the new web-based parts of the UI.
