Tweaks

Automatic updates

For automatic updates of the skin from the repository, open friends.custom.css found in the Steam\steamui\ folder and replace all its contents with one line:

@import url('https://rosetheflower.github.io/MetroSteam/friends.custom.css');

Do the same for libraryroot.custom.css:

@import url('https://rosetheflower.github.io/MetroSteam/libraryroot.custom.css');

Accent colors, decals and other tweaks

The accent color is used primarily for highlights. The default is purple but you can change it to any color. Download custom.css and put it next to your skin files, then locate the line that starts with --focus. The numbers you will see are RGB color values, so any color can be used but it's recommended to use one of the common Metro colors, such as the ones listed here. For example, Magenta would be 255, 0, 151.

It's also possible to add decals for the backgrounds or modify many other colors by changing the same file.

Chat font size

To adjust the default font size for chat messages, locate --chatfont in friends.custom.css and change the numerical value in pixels.

Troubleshooting

Friends and chat windows are no longer skinned

This comes from changes to the html cache files of Steam, unrelated to the skin itself. Running PhantomGamers' patcher again should solve the issue.
