Pressure for Steam

Pressure is a skin for Valve's Steam client that seeks to improve the visuals and aesthetics of Steam beyond the default skin.

Pressure for Steam is currently a Work-In-Progress so expect it to change a lot between now and the official public release of the skin. Pressure is currently in BETA so expect bugs. Please report them on the Issues page.

###IMPORTANT It is extremely important you follow the instructions below, and absolutely critical that you install the Bebas Neue Bold font by FontFabric or this skin will not look as intended. FontFabric have generously given me permission to include it in the Git Download so you can install it there or via their website.

###Images Here are a couple images of the skin. The look and feel of the skin can change at any time, so what you see in these images might not be what you see when you download the skin. For even more images, go to the main album on Imgur.

Downloading and Installing

Because the skin is still in development, you can only download the skin here on GitHub until the skin is ready for the public to download. To do that, just follow these steps:

1. Click on the "Download ZIP" button under the "Clone in Desktop" button on this GitHub page. That will download the skin's files as well as the font you need to install for the skin to display properly.
2. Extract the files in the ZIP folder to:
   • Windows: the Program Files (x86)/Steam/skins folder
   • Mac: right-click Steam.app and choose show package contents then go to - /Contents/MacOS/skins
   • Linux: the ~/.local/share/Steam/skins/ folder
3. You should also go ahead and install the Bebas Neue Bold font download it directly from FontFabric.com.
   • Windows: Right-Click the font file and choose "Install".
   • Mac: Double-Click the font file. Click "Install".
   • Linux: you may need to "install" the font manually instead by copying it to /usr/share/fonts (to install it system-wide) or ~/.fonts (to install it only for the current user) and executing fc-cache -fv in a terminal.
4. Open up Steam then open up the Steam Settings Window. Click on the Interface tab, and under the option that says "Select the skin you wish Steam to use (requires Steam to restart)", click on the dropdown, and select "Pressure-for-Steam-master".
5. Now go ahead and restart the Steam client. The skin should now be applied. Have fun! 😄
