I posted it on Deviantart. Let me know if there is a problem. Hope you enjoy, although this is my first crack at making a skin so there may be issues :).

Trying to figure out if there is a way to change the texture for the context menus. Also when you are in offline more for example there is another area I am unsure how to change the texture of. You can see both in the screenshot below.
Have a look at <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/188890/180000/fileinfo/Steam---SSkinner-Steam-Skinner" target="_blank">SSkinner</a> it'll help you do all the menu's etc. a lot quicker.
I was messing about on a simple colouring change with that while at work.

Well done mate :)
The texture is nice, it is irregular enough to not look bad, etc etc etc.
I think the best part is that you got the infestation to really blend in well with it.
:D
The one thing I would say is to make harder edges for each section. Possibly a simple black border fro things like tabs, menus, windows, etc. Instead of the grey border that is there now...

I was thinking of using the ingame icons (from commander view). Problem is the icons I used all have a flat look (ie all details stripped). Then I just mask a gradient over them to get the effect. Welder just wouldn't look like much of a welder if I did that.
Wow I blink and someone has a skin up. Am I looking at the skinning the wrong way? I've been looking at the files given with the default skins and I'm getting nowhere.
I have absolutely no idea if it would be possible (Or who would wanna put the hours in) but man it would be awesome to have an animated skin where the main Steam window is slowly being taken over by the infestation.

Ya unfortunately this is not possible. There are a very limited amount of functions we are given access to draw with. The ones that draw images only take TGA images (so not animates ones).
