[VB.NET] Steam Theme Maker [WIP] - Cody8295 - Dec 29, 2010
I started working on this project, it basically is a Steam Skin creator. I have only added the GUI for friends list setting but will soon add many many more. There is also the "Code" tab so you can edit the colors or settings yourself. All you have to do is make your changes and hit "Debug". Pretty straight forward. It is coded in VB.NET and is the first release so it's not that stable. I will soon be posting updates. I didn't bother mocking up the UI because I just wanted to get the base down, like I said, I will get it done in later updates. Here are some screenshots.

Well, First, the textbox is editing the new themes style. Then, the debug sets the theme as the selected one in the listbox, to the registry. It then finds steam.exe and restarts it so it loads up the theme. And thanks for the feedback guys.

Sounds interesting, I've used the Steam API in PHP, but never vb.net.

Updates : You need to pay closer attention to details IE : the buttons... looks ok apart from that, but you should really work on the gradients shading etc.
