ABOUT OG Skin 2004

OG-Steam, a 2004-Style Steam Skin

OG-Steam is a skin I created to replicate the style of Steam from around 2004. I have restored as much as I can without losing any functionality. Since Valve kicked off the move to a web-based Steam client, certain components of Steam no longer use VGUI (Valve Graphical User Interface) for skinning and subsequently require third-party tools to inject custom CSS/JavaScript. As of January 2021 the following components have gone web-based:

- Friends & Chat
- Library
- Uninstall confirmation prompt (why?)
- Game Properties/AppDetails

Hence, I created OG-Steam-Library as an accompanying Library theme. Currently, I have no plans to make a theme for Friends & Chat as I use a web browser instead, treating it like the separate app that it is.

Check out both projects on GitHub!

Feel free to post here about issues with OGS or OGSL.

OG-Steam 2021 - 2023

5 May, 2023 - Ungstein | 20 Comments

Steam's latest Beta is a complete rewrite of the UI, with removal of all VGUI elements. This update effectively renders this skin unusable. All good things come to an end, and I knew the end was coming when I started this project. Thank you to everyone who used OG-Steam in its short lifespan. Thank you to the contributors, and those of you who submitted bug reports. It has been a fun nostalgia trip that I won't forget.

I have archived the GitHub repo, which can be viewed via the following link:

That theme looks great! Glad to see someone has taken up the mantle; the old green skin lives on!

Given how petty modern day valve is it's only a matter of time before they find a way to break these new skins.

Yes, there are replacements to this skin, for the new steam client

You have to downgrade your steam version, and get SFP, and put this in steam launch args:
"-cef-enable-debugging -vgui -nofriendsui -no-browser +open steam://open/minigameslist"
You'll also have to go to steam interface and change the skin to og-steam.
Here is how to revert UI , and your Steam will have a broken friends list after that; so here's a current method to patch that too. (Ironically, it is NOT sfp.) [github.com]

I did all of this and the theme works like a charm for me. If anyone is confused lmk

Valve really needs to do an official version of this, I mean they did a profile theme, Steam Deck keyboard and KDE theme so where is the Client skin?
