Dear fellow Steam users!

If you're one of those unfortunate people (like me) who find the current Steam color scheme and/or layout less appealing than the old one, you might be happy to hear that it's possible to change these things through a nifty browser addon called "Stylish".

This addon allows browsers such as Chrome or Firefox to apply different styles (skins) to webpages that can completely change the way they look. The best thing is that you don't even have to create these skins yourself - you can simply download skins (completely free) made by others and be on your way browsing familiar pages with all-new looks in just 2-3 clicks!

(For Steam client skins, check out my other guide.)

Here's how to set yourself up with a new Steam look in less than a minute:

• Chrome users get it here: Stylish for Chrome[chrome.google.com]
  
  
• Firefox users get it here: Stylish for Firefox[addons.mozilla.org]

• Go to http://userstyles.org/styles/browse/steampowered , pick a skin from the list and click "Install with Stylish".
  
  
• I also created some myself, the list of which you can find below (for screenshots see the second half of the guide):
  
  
  • Compact Steam UI[userstyles.org] - Removes curators, recommendations, the queue, etc, no changes in color theme
    
  • Dark Steam UI - Theme-only[userstyles.org] - Dark color theme applied to all Steam pages, no layout changes
    
  • Dark Steam UI - Compact[userstyles.org] - Dark color theme applied to all Steam pages, removes curators, recommendations, the queue, etc
    
  • Curatorless Steam[userstyles.org] - Prevents curators from showing up on Steam (store and game pages)

If you don't like a custom style, you can uninstall it anytime by pressing the Stylish button in your browser's toolbar and clicking Delete under the style's name (in Chrome) or right-clicking it and selecting Remove (in Firefox).

Removing Stylish itself can be done just as easily through the browser's addon management. Just click the Menu button (icon with 3 horizontal lines), select Addons or Extensions, find Stylish in the list and click Remove.

You can find many useful and interesting Steam skins for browsers on userstyles.org, so I encourage everyone to check them out.

Below is a list of those created by me, with some screenshots and short descriptions:



This skin removes the clutter from the storefront by blocking the curators, the new on Steam, the recommendations, the queue, the recently updated and the endlessly scrolling bottom.

The Dark Steam UI skins repaint the whole of Steam into a dark grey theme very similar to its pre-2014 look. This is the Theme-only version, which:

• Changes Steam's color theme to dark grey,
• Doesn't change anything else.

This simple skin prevents curators from showing up on Steam.
