How do you get the grid boxes so close to each other. I have compact installed and it's still got too much separation for me.

Zoom slider. Top right.

But the detailed view is messed up with compact. I like seeing the background of a game in detailed view but compact disables it =(

change the following code in steamrootdialog_gamespage_details.layout:


place { control=headerimagea width=1024 height=0 x=200 y=2 }
place { control=headerimageb width=1024 height=0 x=200 y=2 }

to:

place { control=headerimagea width=1024 height=550 x=200 y=2 }
place { control=headerimageb width=1024 height=550 x=200 y=2 }

This file resides in both Steam\resource\layout\ and Steam\skins\Compact\resource\layout\

It'll enable backgrounds

Durrr durr.

Only have the money for one PC purchase this month and have whittled it down to deus ex or dead island. Which one will probably hold its value for longer?

 

[vall03]

just tried Compact skin and its seriously gorgeous! I really like these kind of minimalist design

 

[Stallion Free]

Grid view is just way to busy visually.

I hope big picture introduces something similar to GOG's shelf style

Yep.

 

[JDSN]

yup, im one of the few who prefer to see the closest thing to a boxart.

You do not belong in my world.

I took my time with the game but missed 2 sidequests and I think Steam ate min. 2 hours of gametime.

Well on this site you can buy Deus Ex for $27 (bought it myself) and Dead Island for $25

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Cheers, lads. I'll buy Deus Ex for now and then get Dead Island when I'm done with it.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

I'm too ashamed to post my play times for both games but I will say that Dead Island nudged Deus Ex out by about 15 hours.

I'm hoping for something more inline with XBMC's Aeon skin:

 

[I H8 Memes]

I personally rock PixelVision

Thanks for this. Best Steam skin I've ever used.

Pure sex.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Yeah, that's hot. Does Steam allow that degree of customisation? I've never seen skins go that far.

Just did this, looks much better IMO not sure why he disabled it.

If you go the CD-Key route you can get both...

 

[Anilusion]

I'm hoping for something more inline with XBMC's Aeon skin:

Would take hours to scroll through.

 

[Stallion Free]

Would take hours to scroll through.

That's why you can hit a button to open up a search prompt.

Grid view on Steam is equally inefficient if you are just scrolling.

 

[Semblance]

Rusty Hearts is pretty rad.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Scrolling time can be greatly reduced by setting it to only show installed games.

 

[Salsa]

protip: if you are on grid view and you simply press a letter, it'll automatically take you to the games starting with that letter.

 

[JaskoX1]

LS doesn't even play his Steam games.

Yet he's so worried about how he views them in the category, lol.

That looks a lot like the Apple 'patented' Cover Flow.

Dead Island, way longer game and it has more replayability.

 

[Salsa]

fuck that, get Deus Ex. You can end up playing more of Dead Island but as far as quality goes Deus Ex HR is probably the game of the year alongside Portal 2.

I like scrolling through all my games in grid view; sooo huge. :O

 

[Relax.MX]

I need a new FPS competitive multiplayer(to complement TF2)...it would be Bug Orchestra 2 but well that game is a beta now...¿the option on Steam is only MW3 for the year? i prefer BF3 but EA/Origin is a xenophobic...

Any help?

 

[Relax.MX]

Yes, yes...Deus Ex...for me is the GOTY...so far

 

[JaskoX1]

Any help?

BF3 beta this Tuesday.

They bought the Cover Flow IP and put it in iTunes.

 

[erpg]

You guys are weird. I don't know how anyone can run Steam in anything but Small Mode.

 

[Truespeed]

Valve should add scripting language support to their Steam client. Imaging the endless variety of views the community would come up with.

Amazing how shitty corporations can be. Patents are a complete joke at this point.

Same, it's like looking at your Windows folder in thumbnail view instead of 'Details'. Madness...

All I want is proper icons for my non Steam games. Gimped Minecraft and Trackmania 2 icons mock me.

I'm sure they'll work it out.

Do you have Counter-Strike or Counter-Strike Source? CS is the uncontested king of PC multiplayer FPS.

 

[Gvaz]

Compact is amazing, no other skin can match it's grid view

Die monster! You don't belong in this world!

I played 1.6 and then and last year i get Source but the community is too hardcore(and in some cases annoying)...

in for the compulsory "is this reliable" question

 

[KarmaCow]

From the look of the site and deep discount, it looks like a good way to get your steam account banned. But I honestly don't know.

 

[amrod]

bought 2 COD map pack keys from there... so far all good

 

[Dead Prince]

Rusty Hearts is pretty rad.

i would play if it uses steam id. dat effort to register keeps me from playing lol.

you'll never get your account banned from doing stuff like this. What if a friend gave you the key? worst case scenario you'll get the game removed, and i highly doubt that (only happened with MW2 a while back). These sites work by giving you a scanned key of a retail box.

I guess that makes sense, but I'm always uber paranoid when it comes to Steam.
