    REGARDING OG STEAM
    ----------------------------------------------
    With the June 14, 2023 Steam Client update, they have rewritten the entire function of the UI and therefore old themes no longer work. OG-Steam no longer will function and you should disregard that portion of the video. Instead, look into using Millenium! It can be found at steambrew.app/ and has a theme called "OldSteam" that looks similar (enough) to the Olive Green version of Steam. I personally am using "Classic Steam Library" which looks almost exactly like the 2013 version of steam, which is what I grew up with.

    for anyone having issues with the taskbar being too big, go to settings, search taskbar settings and click on taskbar settings then choose small icons. hope this helps

    k so a few issues i saw that i fixed.
    1. RetroBar for the taskbar
    2. Use Millennium for the steam skin, since it has both the 2003 and 2013 skins with FUNCTIONING library skins.
    3. Continuation to 2 but if you use the 2003 skin on Millennium them DO NOT USE SMALL MODE! If you use small mode, then the whole program will look weird upon changing back to large mode.
    If I missed anything, let me know! (I use the same programs you do but I have modified it to look my style.)

      I don't plan on following up this video. But you can find posts on reddit about other ways to get the look.
      Thanks for telling me about that, do not buy WindowBlinds. At the cost I paid it was worth it, but I can't advocate for a 300% increase for the same thing.
