A Steam themed visual style for Windows 7.
The visual style incorporates the appearance of Steam with a functioning Windows visual style.

The theme comes with 2 substyles - aside from the default, there's an automatically centering taskbar, and a more simple one. Will be adding another style later. Taskbar is usable with small icons, and side taskbar too, though the main focus is the bottom mode.

I'll be making matching icons and templates in a later release, but for now, it uses the timeless Token icons, as it was almost a perfect match for the Steam look. I'm also planning to make a matching Rainmeter suite.
I've also made preparations for making the Pixel Vision Steam theme styles VS.

Starting on port to Windows 8 / 8.1 now, in hopes I'll proceed well with it.

Looking at the navigation bar can give you a snapshot idea of what a site is offering, as well as what it’s expecting in return. It’s an abbreviated definition, a road to multiple destinations, and the outstretched hand of invitation to any and all visitors who have happened upon the site in question.

And some manage this complicated little two-step in masterful fashion. This is an article dedicated to those surefooted dancers of web design and development who’ve managed to put a new spin on an ultra-trending trope: The Fixed Navigation.

Fixed navigation bars can scroll down a page with you, reappear panel by panel, collapse and expand at the click of a mouse, interact with users as they browse, or skulk discreetly in the corners of the screen. The versatility of these sticky little boogers (ew) is the imperative of their attraction. Furthermore, it’s the trademark of the site which they inhabit.

Without further ado, we present a series of scintillating sites featuring finely tuned fixed navigation menus.
