Introduction
Ever since Valve made the, IMNSHO , terrible decision to implrement curators I have been plagued and annoyed by the thing. Sure , they can be useful to certain peoiple but for people like myself, it is just an annoyance.

Then one day, while making the rounds of the forums I came across a post that gave the idea of how to fix that little problem. The credit goes to whomever wrote that forum post and be damned if I can find it now. SO whoever you are, if you're reading this. Thanks

How it works
Steam's client is essentially just a web browser and the pages and sections are themselves essentially web pages, which means they make use of Cascading Style Sheets to format the display. The client also has a feature that allows the user to isntall and if they wish create their own skins.

This trick basically involves creating a skin with a customized style sheet that will mimic the look and feel of the default with one important difference: No Curators.

UPDATE:
Okay Just a heads up. The New steam Update for the library does break with this Theme. The fix is easy however. Simply repeat steps listed and you're good to go.
SIde note this does mean there's a way to affect the library layout wityh a skin it seems. I shall be experimenting :)
The Easy Way
The easiest way to do this is to simply download and install a Custom Steam Skin that happens to hide the Curator section.. Seriously. It is that easy and you get the bonus of perhaps getting steam being just more awesome for you.
The Long(Fun) Way
1. First go to the steam directory(which is whereever you installed steam. To find it fast, right-click on the steam Shortcut icon. and click the 'Find Target' Button

2. Next step select the folders marked 'resources' and 'graphics'. RIght click on either of them and select 'copy'. or just hit ctrl+c You could do this step at any time but you'll find it much easier to do it now.

3. Now go into the skins folder

4. Create a new folder. Name it what ever you want.

5. Open that newly created folder.

6. Paste in the directories you copied in step 2. You can either right click in the empty file list and select paste, or just ctrl+v

You have now created a STeam custom skin that is a mirror of the default steam skin.
This can be selected from the steam client interface by boing to View-->Settings-->Interface and clicking on the dropdown box next to skin. You'll see 'default skin' and (assuming you have no other skins installed) <whatever you named that folder you created step 4. FOr the purpose of simplicity lets assume you named it CustomSkin.

7. Open the CustomSkin Folder (you should already be bthere but just in case)

8. Open the resources folder

9. Open the file called 'webkit.css' in a text editor like notepad. Simply right click on the file and select edit and then select notepad as your application.

10. Now go the last line and create a new line by hitting enter. Makesure your on a blank line.

11. COpy the following:

/* This removes various parts of the Steam pages such as the curators, the discover your queue, the recently updated, the new on Steam, the recommendations on the right and the the endless scrolling list from the bottom */
.steam_curators_ctn, .steam_curators_block{
display: none !important;}

12. Paste it onto the blank line you made in the webkit.css file.

13. Save and close the webkit.css file.

14. There. Now in the steam client: View-->Settings-->Interface

15. In the dropdown box where it askes you to select your skin CHange it to 'CustomSKin'. And restart Steam

16. And if you did all that right you will have removed the curator section from the store's front page and the store page of each game.
The Super Easy Way
Now if you're really in a hurry. Or are having problems doing it the easy, or the long way, I've setup a super easy way.

1. Download this File[www.dropbox.com]
2. Extract the contents to the /skins directory of your Steam Install folder.
3. Open Steam
4. Click on View > Settings > Interface
5. Click on the SKins Dropdown menu, and you Should see the 'Lite' theme. Select it
6. Restart Steam.
7. Do Happy Victory Dance

If you have another theme with the name Lite already you can simply rename the folder in the zip file to whatever you want.
Bonus
Small note:
If you also want to block the streaming content:

create anothe new line and copy this into it:
#live_streams_ctn, .live_streams_ctn{
display:none important;}
}

The truth is. You can use this method to remove quite a few things should you choose to. Use the Client's console mode to find out the name or css identifier of an element and just add it to the end of the custom webkit.css.

Always Add it to the end though. That way what you add will override any display instructions already in the css.

Side note:
DOn't try editing the default skin's css . The client will automatically download a new one.
The Steam Labs - Section.
Good idea buuut...
Yeah. This is kinda right up there with Curators for me. I will say that the recommends are actually pretty spot on, but for some people I know that its not something they fancy, or need. So I've added this little section to help.

It's pretty easy as you might imagine and serves as an addendum to the steps above. Remember to exit steam first.

1. Open up your custom skin folder.
2. Open the "resource" Folder
3. Find the file "webkit.css"
4. Open "webkit.css" in your prefered text-editor.
5. Scroll all the way to the last line of the file,, and create a new line (hit enter)
6. Paste in the following line:
.labs_cluster{ display: none !important;}
7. Save the file.
8. Restart Steam.
9. Engage "Victory Dance"


OH as a quick aside. if you followed the steps for curator and broadcast removal you can actually just add the ".labs_cluster" to the list of css tags there.

This will basically hide tyhe entire labs section on the store page. I'll be updating this section with the instructions for hiding individual sections of the the Steam Labs content for those of you who actually want to keep some of the recommenders but not others.
Community Recommends
To hide the Community Recommends block:

.community_recommendations_by_steam_labs_ctn {
display: none !important;}


Special thanks to: Flava Clown for this one.

Okay. Apparently What happened is Valve made some changes to their assets so following the instructions from scratch again will basically put you back on track.

Create Folder in skins. Copy Graphics and Resource foulder from the main steam folder to the new folder you created and edit the Webkit.css file.

However in doing so I realized a few things. It seems the STeam Labss and CUrators blocks are no longer there to begin with. So about the only thing affected now is the livestream block.

I'll have it up by Friday. Figured I might as well play around with a few idea I had since I'm diving in tae it.

Okay just a note.
I am aware that the recent update has fubared the skin a ina way that makes the main navigation bar disappear. I am working on that.

Whew. Glad it worked, and glad you find it useful. And remember that you can use this to block out just about anything.
MysticalPotato 2022 年 4 月 13 日 下午 3:31 
OK it did work. Sorry about the confusion, my bad! Thankyou!
MysticalPotato 2022 年 4 月 13 日 下午 3:30 
oh gawd I'm an idiot, ok I see the part at the very bottom of your article. lol. Off to try that. Thanks!
MysticalPotato 2022 年 4 月 13 日 下午 3:29 
Sure, but I did the steps correctly. Unless it doesn't remove "the community recommends" part?
Start_Running  [作者] 2022 年 4 月 13 日 下午 3:28 
Que?
Well that's why I added the short way. and the Super Easy way
MysticalPotato 2022 年 4 月 13 日 下午 3:14 
Followed all steps for long way (quite familiar with doing stuff like this) - alas, did not work.
Start_Running  [作者] 2022 年 2 月 5 日 下午 11:16 
YOu are most welcome.!
I don't suspect the skin will stop working anytime soon, unless Valve redoes their naming scheme
