Changing the Googly Gazer's style
Let's do this Texas style.
The Engineer decides on a style

Styles are alternate versions of headwear and miscellaneous items. Introduced in the Hatless Update on April 14, 2011, styles enable the player to alter the visual form of the hat at any time. Styles applied to items do not affect the painted status, or tradability of the item.

To change the style of an item, select the desired item in the Backpack menu, and click the "Set Style" button. A window will appear prompting you to select one of several preexisting styles via a drop down menu.

Current styles range from being alterations to the painting scheme on an item, or a separate model for the item entirely. Promotional items that were released in tiers, such as those of the Steam Treasure Hunt, have styles that mimic the appearance of the lower tiered counterparts.

May 5, 2011 Patch (Replay Update)

Bugs

  • The Ghastlier Gibus is incorrectly placed if the Ghastly style is active.
  • The Scotsman's Stove Pipe loses a lot of its detail when the Garish and Overbearing style is active, similar to a lot of paintable hats before the December 2, 2010 Patch. The difference is noticeable even without paint.
  • After changing an item's style, it takes effect immediately, without having to respawn or touch a resupply cabinet. This may be intentional, as styles have no effect on gameplay.
  • When painting an item, the preview render will always show the original style, regardless of the one currently active.
