Yea sorry for the poor explanation, idk something that is like a shortcut for steam I guess. kind of like the steam wheel, I just personally don't like that.

I don't know of any others, but I don't suppose it wouldn't be too hard to modify the appearance of UltraBE's Steam Wheel.

One of my first skins was a steam menu that acted like the right click option in the task tray. Valve has a listing of all the command lines for steam users ( https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_browser_protocol ) so it was not too hard and because the right click menu is all text that part was not difficult either. The only annoying thing was that valve didn't list command lines for the games that generally show up in your right click menu (ie. the most recently played/ or most played).

So here's a video at around the end it shows the steam thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw0x0ai9vH8&list=UU7GX02hYa11NVkSE6VBvx6A&index=5&feature=plcp

And if that's cool to you, here's the code. This is very simple but should give you a start.

Code: Select all

My first skin. Using X3: Terran Conflict GUI.

(Credit goes to Egosoft for all the art. The calendar inside the radar was done by poiru and edited to fit inside the image.)
