workaround to remove the yellow guy from steam windows.
QuoteSaw a bunch of people complaining about Tappet, that yellow guy that pops up in your friends window advertising the new voice feature that there is no option to remove. So I thought I'd give it a try.
To apply the fix:
1) Exit Steam
2) Download fix.zip (http://cockroachnet.com/download/fix.zip)
3) In Steam/resource, rename chatty.tga to chatty2.tga *
4) Extract chatty.tga from the zip and place it in Steam/resource
4) Restart Steam
*Note that simply deleting chatty.tga and not applying the fixed chatty.tga will not get rid of Tappet, as Steam will download a new version when you start Steam. If you ever want to restore the original file, simply delete chatty.tga and rename chatty2.tga.
