| The most important thing about skinning in the new Steam is the change of the skinning method. Instead of using <code>TrackerScheme.res</code>, <code>steamscheme.res</code> is now used. The <code>steamscheme.res</code> file is located in the <code>resource</code> folder in the Steam root folder. It should be copied to <code>skins\''YourSkinName''\resource</code>. Like everything else, images are uncompressed 24-bit [[TGA]] files.

| ==Controls==
| | On April 27th, 2023, with the Steam client now being rendered using CEF, Steam skins '''completely lost support''' and only work through community based patching methods. |
| The ''Override Keys'' sections list all of the functioning KeyValues entries for a specific control. What ''Override Keys'' do is replace the ''Base Keys'' when a specific condition is met. Once the condition is destroyed, the control converts back to the ''Base Keys''.
