Steam: Updates Itself and Garry's Mod, then gets a New Skin

Image by Max
I've always wondered if, sometimes, these Steam updates break more than they fix - and today's changelog for Garry's Mod suggests that this is, in fact the case. There is one simple line accompanying the update, explaining that it's fixing damage incurred by yesterday's tweak. Oops!

...while on the topic of Steam, if you'd like a fresh new look for your client, to go with the fresh new look of Games On Net, leca has come to your rescue, with a brand new custom skin for Valve's popular client (which has itself just been updated, too!).

Once you grab the skin file (it's tiny, less than 500KB!), here's the installation instructions:
   Steam skin created by Cas "Leca" Bitton for Games On Net
Installation:

#1.
Place folder gonsteam into your steam skins directory
eg. C:Program FilesValveSteamskins

#2.
Launch Steam.
File > Settings > Interface > Select gonsteam skin from drop down box and click OK.

#3.
Restart steam when prompted.
Easy as that! Now, here's that one-line changelog for Garry's Mod... Remember, if you're a fan of the game, pop into our forums and share your best screenshots!
