OG-Steam, a 2004-Style Steam Skin

OG-Steam is a skin I created to replicate the style of Steam from around 2004. I have restored as much as I can without losing any functionality. Since Valve kicked off the move to a web-based Steam client, certain components of Steam no longer use VGUI (Valve Graphical User Interface) for skinning and subsequently require third-party tools to inject custom CSS/JavaScript. As of January 2021 the following components have gone web-based:

- Friends & Chat
- Library
- Uninstall confirmation prompt (why?)
- Game Properties/AppDetails

Hence, I created OG-Steam-Library as an accompanying Library theme. Currently, I have no plans to make a theme for Friends & Chat as I use a web browser instead, treating it like the separate app that it is.

Check out both projects on GitHub!

Feel free to post here about issues with OGS or OGSL.

OG-Steam 2021 - 2023

May 5, 2023 - NO DIGITAL ID | Ungstein | 20 Comments

Steam's latest Beta is a complete rewrite of the UI, with removal of all VGUI elements. This update effectively renders this skin unusable. All good things come to an end, and I knew the end was coming when I started this project. Thank you to everyone who used OG-Steam in its short lifespan. Thank you to the contributors, and those of you who submitted bug reports. It has been a fun nostalgia trip that I won't forget.

I have archived the GitHub repo, which can be viewed via the following link:

2004 was peak in many ways, that's for sure.
