Can't see it? Make sure to check the Hidden icons menu too:

After that, drag the lua file you've downloaded onto the floating Steam icon. Then, restart Steam through SteamTools by right clicking the floating Steam icon and selecting Restart Steam.

If you've run the fix-st script before, dragging the file onto the floating icon won't work. Move it into the folder below instead:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\config\lua

Steam picks it up right away, so you don't have to restart it.

Congrats!​
