Installing: Extract the contents to your Steam skins directory [usually C:\Program Files\Steam\skins\ ]

About: I find the default skin dull, lacking in contrast, and it simply doesn't fit with the new look and feel of the Steam store and forums which were updated at the same time.

With the Steam store as inspiration to maintain a unified look. It started with the buttons from the Steam store and grew from there with some personal touches. I find the result very satisfying. I hope you do, too.
