New Steam UI

[Das Bruce]

Anyone else had a look at the beta for the new UI?

It's fucking attrocious. The old one is clear and concise, the new is bloated and unpleasent. All I wanted them to add was the ability to add folders to my games list other than the favourite/non-favourite.

[aegis]

you're using the list view, with images disabled, right? it looks about like the old view, except with neutral gradients instead of a weird color.

[Das Bruce]

Ok, so with a little work I'm managing to not want to puke, but I'm not seeing any good reason to switch yet.

my steam looks exactly how it used to.

feels good man.

[Relative]

Well does it perform any better? The old version was a huge system resources hog and was as fast as a nappy decomposing on a store shelf

[Forboding Angel]

I really like the new ui tbh. The old one was fugly.

I don't think it changes unless you go download some optional thing from them.

You go into your settings screen and choose to opt-in for betas IIRC.

I haven't tried it yet, but it can't be worse than Impulse's UI. Looks like it was designed by someone who wanted a Mac for christmas, but it's 100% .Net so it's slow as hell.

Combine the most stereotypical aspects of two operating systems, whose users are completely polarized against each other. What could go wrong?

+1
the old UI was bi-product of a bull

[Erom]

Yeah, the new one is so much faster, it could be blue text on puke green background and I would still use it.

I don't think I'll ever be running steam again unless I need an update

I like the new UI, mainly because of the speed ups. Are they still using an IE class for browser windows?

[aegis]

new UI is using webkit, to be crossplatform.

[rattle]

cool, definitely faster...

[AF]

webkit? They be stealin ma ideas!

[SanadaUjiosan]

I approve of the new UI. A change is nice every once in a while.

Yeah, Steam is so inconvenient, with its... long name.

I love the new Steam UI. It looks a lot more modern, and is finally free of IE's taint.

totally unrelated by I am a genius: for stronger beer just add vodka or other unflavored spirit (ie ever clear)

Thats nothing new... Once I even ordered a beer & pizza on a sunday morning and the bartender offered to strengthen up my beer a bit, cause I "looked like it".
