Can we return to Aero? Is that too much to ask?

mkwt ,

Skip aero. Let’s go back to compiz fusion and deskcubes.

I’m rocking a desktop octagon with two monitors with all the fancy window animations on and still using less ram that windows on idle lol.

New KDE brought the cube back!

I’ve been long enough on this place that I know you can get similar effects on Linux

leopold ,

Fucking Steam always getting shittier with each update! Why can’t they be better like Microsoft’s XBox Store or DRM free like Epic Games?!

I try not to let my nostalgia get the better of me, but god damn I really miss when everything looked like this.

Scrollone ,

Maybe I’m older than you, but I preferred Windows XP style, it was better without the confusing ribbon bar.

I love how all the reactions to this are either “I love this” and “this is cursed beyond belief”

I personally would get a kick out of this as a skin for occasional use…

…how? HOW?

What kind of soulless psychopath leaves a window of this size unmaximized is the real question here. Also, a horizontal scrollbar in the main section, able to scroll maybe 8 pixels total to see some more of the glorious empty padding, could have been a nice touch as a consequence of the “unintended” window size.

Can’t even get HL3 on an alternate timeline.

Can you do one of these for Windows 3.1 or 95? That would be sweet!

Honestly, I hate steam (the client) so much. I have a fair sized library of games that I never play because it’s just torture to me to start that abomination of a program. Why the fuck couldn’t they give it a simple, clean, elegant, native UI that doesn’t treat my battery with wanton disrespect?

sigurdtheone ,

Have a look at Playnite, it might be a better fit for you, also includes other stores.

yuri ,

Does it let me join lobbies off my steam friends? I’ll fucken drop the official client RIGHT NOW if it does.

can someone make this a thing somehow?

Deello ,

Didn’t Steam have skins/themes back in the day?

BarbecueCowboy ,

They’re still out there technically, but they get jankier every year. The new UI they released… last year? put the nail in the coffin for a lot of the fancy ones, but there are still options out there to skin your Steam UI.

P4ulin_Kbana ,

I don’t get it. /g

Zoop ,

I believe it’s a fantasy/for funsies mock-up of what the gaming store/launcher application Steam maybe could have looked like if it was done in a style similar to Windows 7’s styling and other computer applications and websites during that era. Looks like maybe MySpace and Windows Live Messenger may have been some inspiration

I hope that helps. I may be leaving stuff out or wording things oddly since I’m pretty brain foggy due to health issues, but no one had answered ya (that I can see) and I wanted to try to help ya out 😅

P4ulin_Kbana , (edited )

Thank you very much for willing to help, I hope you’re okay! 🤗

P.S.: I’ve seen your other comments (forgive me if that bothers you) and I would like to say that you’re an amazing person! I like how you always treat others with respect and kindness, this world surely needs more people like you! Please don’t forget to take care of yourself and remember that you’re loved! 👋

Thanks, I hate it.

chomsky-yes-honey A better timeline?

Windows UI design peaked with Windows 98 and Unix UI design peaked with IRIX imo

flambonkscious ,

Back when they had consistent style guidelines to follow (I remember reading them, along with deep descriptions of how PnP actually works - yuck!).

Now they just throw shit at the wall it seems

GiveOver ,

Perfect choice of game to display this

Strayce ,

I don’t know how to feel about this.

It’s making my micro soft
