I miss the green steam UI

I had a kneejerk "naur" reaction because I hate change, but then I realized oh, it is nice.

I just opened it to grab Deep Rock Galactic and my jaw dropped

I just wish it had a light mode.

I love the new overlay UI while in game. The menus are smaller and take up less screen space so you don't have the annoying problem of UI elements overlapping each other, unless it's by user intent. When steam needs to open a chromium browser in the overlay, now there's properly a tab feature and URL bar, which is HUGE when you're trying to browse discussions or guides. The design and gray nature means it's not difficult to read and is in line with the library UI update which has cleanly smoothed out the feeling of disconnect these past few months. Overall, props to the UI/UX people working behind this update, it looks great and functions even better!

the cloud notepad sounds interesting and i'd love to see what it all looks like on deck once i use it again

I like the changes generally but they're not that big. It's an evolution rather than a revolution, and thats the right approach.

However I do find the Controller set up tool (for mapping buttons etc) to be trash now. The older version was far far better.

I think it looks nice.

Everything just has a more "clean" look.

Look forward to playing around with it.

Been using their beta version for a few months now, because I knew it would come with a new UI and it looks nice :)

I find the new UI to look nice and easy on the eyes overall. I don't know if adding shelves in library was something I could do previously but with this update it stood out and I liked that I could just setup my own shelf of favourites.

The only thing I don't like is when I mouse-over the main pages, the menu that pops up doesn't match at all. Other than that it's a good update.

It's gotten so much more vibrant and colorful over the years. I kinda miss the clunky grey on grey era

I really like the new look. It makes it look more like the Steam Deck UI.

Just gonna salute the Metro Skin devs for giving us a great skin that helped keep Steam looking modern for so many years before this update.

I quite like the new design, I have to say

I hate the update. It looks too much like a mobile UI.

The redesign seems fine, but it's definitely a little half-assed. Did anyone else notice the iOS-inspired toggles in settings? Still, it's really nice to see some movement on the design after years of looking almost completely the same. Almost everything looks pretty modern now, it's just inconsistent.

Looks great and they managed to fix fractional scaling to your monitor (wouldn't work forever on linux mint), was annoying squinting at tiny text.

The new design is almost 100% success in my eyes. The controller input UI is the stain on Steam UI/UX department. It is simply nothing but a downgrade from the classic UI. Technically not a part of this update, but it was all informed by the steam deck overhaul. So I count it as the only miss out of this whole wave of updated looks.

I've been using it on beta for a while now, I've really enjoyed it. The ingame browsers show up on my task bar in KDE, though.

It's amazing how much snappier the UI is on macOS now, with this update.

i liked the old one more. but i guess ill get used to it lol

It's gonna take a bit for me to get used to the new font for Store/Library/Community/...

@jinno

It's pretty nice so far! The in-game overlay is much cleaner, and several UI bugs have finally been fixed after literally like a decade of me just giving up on them!

The in-game overlay (shift + tab) is also quite different now too. I think I like the changes overall, at least compared to other platforms like Twitch, YouTube, Reddit in the past 5 years, where every unsolicited update seems to just make it worse.

I like it, too. It's cleaner and the overlay is definitely improved.
