• Run the tool and select the skin under Steam skin in its settings.
• In SFP, click on Start Injection unless already done.

Using CSSLoader

If you prefer a simpler installation approach, CSSLoader might be your best bet:

• Download CSSLoader from here.
• Go to the Store tab and search for Metro.
• Install Metro by Rose. Note that this version may not have the latest updates, but you can override it manually with the latest files.

Using Millennium

For those who want to experience more themes, here’s how to use Millennium:

• Refer to the instructions on Millennium’s repository to access themes, including Metro by Rose.
• To install manually, follow the SFP steps above to extract the skin files to the Steam folder.
• Download the Millennium patcher from GitHub and install it.
• Launch Steam and select the skin in Settings – Interface.

Troubleshooting

Sometimes things don’t go as planned. Here’s how to troubleshoot common issues:

• If the skin doesn’t appear, double-check that you’ve placed the files in the correct folder.
• Make sure you restart Steam after applying the skin for the changes to take effect.
• If SFP fails to inject, ensure you are running it with the necessary permissions (try running as an administrator).
• If you encounter persistent issues, consider reaching out to the community or developers for support.
