Steam Skins

The most important thing about skinning in the new Steam is the change of the skinning method. Instead of using TrackerScheme.res, steamscheme.res is now used. The steamscheme.res file is located in the resource folder in the Steam root folder. It should be copied to skins\YourSkinName\resource. Like everything else, images are uncompressed 24-bit TGA files.
The following is documentation on the structure of sourcescheme.res.
