Download and install vlc player. There also seemed to be some confusion, so screenshots are included with this tutorial. Gamers wishing to spice up their Steam client app simply have to download a skin and install it, right? That’s only true for the Windows version of Steam.

(In case you’re wondering how, you simply paste the folder containing the skin’s files into skins.) On Mac OS X, however, simply mimicking the process by copying the skin folder into Steam.app’s package contents doesn’t get it done. Before starting, ensure that you can navigate to your ~/Library directory.

Install Steam login. This is the guide how 2 download skins 4 TF2. Please note that as of July 2 (2 days before my birthday (yes my birthday is 4th July)) 2015.

It may be hidden if you are using Mac OS X Lion. There is a registry file that must also be edited to force Steam to use the new skin.

This method may also require more maintenance than the Windows version because each update will reportedly overwrite the edited file (and possibly erase the skin folder). Without further ado, here’s the illustrated skin installation procedure: Directions • Navigate to Steam.app in Finder. Right-click it and select ‘Show Package Contents’. • Go to ‘Contents/MacOS/skins’. • Copy the folder which directly contains your desired skin.

• Paste the skin into Steam.app’s skins directory. • Go to ‘~/Library/Application Support/Steam’ and open registry.vdf with your text editor of choice. • Add 'SkinV4' ' to the list inside 'Registry' { 'HKCU' { 'Software' { 'Valve' { 'Steam' {.

Save the file, and you’re set. ( The current beta uses “SkinV4” rather than “SkinV3”. Thanks, ATLbandit.) • • • • • • Please let me know if and how this “tutorial” can be made clearer. You can also check for the source of information. Caveats • I don’t think skins are officially supported on the Mac version of Steam. • Keep a copy of the skin you’re installing, or make sure it’s available for download later.

• As mentioned before, Steam may erase your change to registry.vdf when updating, so don’t be shocked when the default skin loads up after the next update. Just make the same modification, and it’ll work again. • It turns out that the SkinV4 setting is reset to a blank value every time you change your Steam settings. No Comments Comments are closed.
