Tried installing Air skin for Steam. After putting skin folder into "~/.local/share/Steam/skins" and restarting Steam skin doesn't show up in skin dropdown menu. Tried restarting Steam multiple times, tested also with Metro.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Put Air skin folder into "~/.local/share/Steam/skins" folder
  2. Restart Steam
  3. Open Setting > Interface > Skin
  4. Shows only <default skin> entry

I seem to have this issue as well. Was pointed here from Outsetini/Air-for-Steam#161.

I got it to work if I instead put the Air folder in ~/.steam/skins/. Not sure if this is a bug or feature or what.

Can confirm that putting skin folder into ~/.steam/skins does indeed work.

I got it working by making a directory called 'skins' in ~/.steam/steam/

Nothing extracted yet.
