SteamPowered [Feedback]
Thursday, January 12, 2023 by SimplexDesigns | Discussion: Skinning
My next theme is almost ready. Its based on the style of the application Steam. A real nice on the eyes dark mode only theme. I have a few more elements to skin in the bars and sliders section and the address bar buttons. I would like the light blue font for the file properties to be white, however... Some applications use a hard-codded light/white background. So I settled on a medium blue color.

It will be free, I don't have a high enough rank to make it paid.

Here is what the details pane looks like when you have it enabled on windows 7/8/10 systems.

Thanks all!
After having it up for a few hours now I have gotten some feedback about the start button. What are some ideas any of you have in mind for it since it seems to be the weak point of the style? Next update will include an updated start button along with any bugs that may be found at a later date.

Maybe something like this but in flat style and the gradient to reflect the hues in your blind?

Designed it to match the caption buttons colors. I will just include 2 other substyles that have the windows 10 or 11 Buttons for those who prefer those. I also noticed i missed skinning the flashing taskbar button. Getting a quick fix out for it.

Updated theme based on feedback for the start button along with skinning the taskbar flashing button. I seemed to have overlooked that graphic when I was combing through the theme making sure everything was skinned, awaiting approval.
