This guide will give you information on how to install custom Steam skins.

Whenever you use a third party website for downloading skins always practice safe browsing habits; Steam Support has a great article on this which can be found here.

The main directory of the skin must be installed in the following directories. If the skin you're installing has an installer wizard, this is where you'd point it to.

/Program Files/Steam/skins/

Example: /Program Files/Steam/skins/skinname/


/Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Steam/skins/

Example: /Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Steam/skins/skinname/


~/.local/share/Steam/skins/

Example: ~/.local/share/Steam/skins/skinname/

Once you've installed the files into their own folder within the skins directory you'll need to select the skin from the Steam interface settings. You will need to restart Steam for the skin to work once you've selected it.



If you'd like to uninstall a skin, return to your skins directory and delete the folder for the skin you made when installing it. Once Steam has been restarted it will revert to the default theme.
