What is these skin? is it even a skin?
These guide is more abut how to hide things, then a real skin, we may have some skins, but over all its main focus is to make adds to existing skins to allow users to hide what they don't want
Be it there Username on the top, or there wallet
Or anything that Valve toss at us for a while (for these time the Phone Bar)

So these is how the guide works:
First part will be the how to create the file that will allow you to hide what ever
Second part will have if possible links to that part set up and ready, for who ever is lazy
Third part will have a full skin made for that, that uses the default skin if possible

I will also add links to existing guides if someone made or set something that hides something users do not want, so lets get to it

So before we start, for who ever dose not know, these is how to install a new skin:

Creating your own skin for use with this guide
In case you do not wish to use an existing skin and want to create your own follow this steps

Go to <where steam is installed>\Steam\Skins\
Inside the Skins folder create a folder and call it whatever you wish your skin to be called
Inside your skin folder create a new folder named resource
Inside your resource folder create a folder named styles
Then go to <where steam is installed>\Steam\resource\styles
Copy the steam.styles file and paste it into your <skin name>\resource\styles

You now have a skin folder ready to be modified with the guide below
Hide "Add a phone number" bar
These part is most likely temper before Valve change it

So first you will need to create a new TXT file, and fill it with the next code: (The change from the original file is were i add the "//*" to turn the lines after it to comments)
"resource/layout/phonereminderbar.layout" { controls { "phonereminderbarlabel" { "ControlName" "Label" "labelText" "#steam_phoneaddress_query" style=bright } "phonereminderbar_info" { "ControlName" "Label" "labelText" "#steam_phoneaddress_query_info" style=soft wrap=1 } "phonereminderbar_yesbutton" { "ControlName" "Button" "labelText" "#steam_phoneaddress_query_yes" command="AddPhone" style="ButtonStyle" } "phonereminderbar_nobutton" { "ControlName" "Button" "labelText" "#steam_phoneaddress_query_no" command="Close" style="ButtonStyle" } } //styles //{ // CPhoneReminderBar // { // render {} // render_bg { // 0="image_scale( x0+3, y0, x1-3, y1+1, graphics/emailreminder_center )" // 1="image( x0, y0, x0+3, y1, graphics/emailreminder_left )" // 2="image( x1-4, y0, x1, y1, graphics/emailreminder_right )" // 3="fill( x1-2, y1+1, x1-1, y1+2, outline_gray )" // 4="fill( x0, y1+1, x0+1, y1+2, outline_gray )" // 5="fill( x0+1, y1+1, x0+2, y1+2, outline_dark )" // } // } soft { font-size=15 textcolor="209 242 133 255" minimum-width=500 } bright { font-size=18 textcolor="255 255 255 255" } ButtonStyle { font-size=16 padding=2 bgcolor=button_green_bg render_bg {} render { 1="fill( x0, y0, x1, y0 + 1, button_green_border )" // top 2="fill( x0, y1 - 1, x1, y1, button_green_border )" // bottom 3="fill( x0 + 1, y0, x0 + 1, y1, button_green_border )" // left 4="fill( x1 - 1, y0, x1, y1, button_green_border )" // right } } ButtonStyle:hover { textcolor=white } } colors { phonereminder_bar_green1 "92 126 16 255" phonereminder_bar_green2 "73 100 13 255" outline_gray "77 75 72 255" outline_dark "23 22 20 255" button_text_green "209 242 133 255" button_green_bg "64 90 08 255" button_green_border "91 120 18 255" } layout { place { control="phonereminderbarlabel" x=20 y=16 spacing=8 } place { control="phonereminderbar_yesbutton,phonereminderbar_nobutton,phonereminderbar_info" x=20 y=42 spacing=18 margin-bottom=6 margin-right=20 } } }
Save it as "phonereminderbar.layout" and place it inside:
Steam\skins\<Skin name>\resource\layout

All i done here is set all the Styles lines of the bar to comment, so they do not exist in the code, and there for Steam just leaves drop it

Skins these was confirmed to work with:
Pixel Vision
Hide Big Picture Mode button
These part is most likely temper before Valve change it

So you need to create a new TXT file and place inside the text from
<where Steam is installed>\Steam/resource\layout\steamrootdialog.layout
Then replace the line:
place [!$OSX] { control="fullscreen" align=right y=7 height=20 spacing=0 margin-right=85 margin-top=1 width=30 } place [$OSX] { control="fullscreen" align=right y=7 height=20 spacing=0 margin-right=8 margin-top=1 width=30 }
with:
place [!$OSX] { control="fullscreen" align=right y=7 height=0 spacing=0 margin-right=85 margin-top=1 width=0 } place [$OSX] { control="fullscreen" align=right y=7 height=0 spacing=0 margin-right=8 margin-top=1 width=0 }
Save it as "steamrootdialog.layout" and place it inside:
Steam\skins\<Skin name>\resource\layout

All I did here is set the size of the Big Picture Mode (Fullscreen) to 0 width and 0 height

Done, well these guide is also on the Steam guides :P
So only way to get to it is a link

Both the brackets in the tile and the language were already set to french, so, this should cause no issue.

The reason I showed that way is that one can't easily browse Steam guide section like a game's guide section (you even need to hack the URL just for making a Steam guide to begin with), so people are more likely to ask "where's the X translation ?", when in fact, there's already one ready for him, but inaccessible by normal means.
Black Blade  [작성자] 2015년 11월 5일 오후 3시 27분 
Well both really :D:
But i think its best to put it in the language of the guide it self no?
Fox 2015년 11월 5일 오후 3시 23분 
EDIT : Bottom, not top. Sorry for the mishap.
Fox 2015년 11월 5일 오후 3시 23분 
@Black Blade : Not that I know of. Multi-lingual guides usually have a special section at the top where they redirect non-English users to the language-appropriate guide (see this for an example)
Black Blade  [작성자] 2015년 11월 5일 오후 3시 19분 
Cool, well just warning you, when i get the time and not too tired to think correctly il get on these to improve it
So or so i think they removed the Bar.. so it may be useless now :P

But have much more to add here..
By the way, any idea (i guess that is a stupid way to ask it.. but like sayed before "too tired") to redirect France users to your guide?

Nagging is fine :D:
I have lots of project that i am working on, i find it really hard to work on one project at a time, so rushing from time to time can be good :D:
Any how i try the voice thing, thing is its hard for one as my self, as honestly i only have 50% idea of what i am doing, i don't fully understand the styling, most of my pogroms are things that work in the background and are not seen, so while doing these i am also learning the styling language of it
So i do try :D: but it may take a while to move it, even more as i cant mark that button as i cant open the menu with the VGUI menu open :/

Don't interpret this as rushing or nagging you to do so as I am perfectly satisfied with your current work. Again, I thank you greatly for your contribution in finding a solution to an issue which irked me profoundly. I scoured the web hunting for a solution to hiding the annoyance, only later to have abandoned my quest until, lo and behold, you stumbled into my sights on the steam community forums after reading countless pages of others who voice their opinions of this "feature".

Gramercy!
