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?

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

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

FeelThePower ,

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 😅

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! 👋

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.

EurekaStockade ,

It’s making my micro soft

taanegl ,

Well of course it’s a timeline, it’s the timeline of hell.

Missed opportunity to include Portal 3

I hate this. I’m pretty sure this gave me PTSD somehow.

LEDZeppelin ,

Oh fuck. We need themes on steam client

mihnt ,

You can. They are called skins though.

Apparently official skin support no longer exists but Millennium for Steam looks like an unofficial tool that can be used for skins.

mihnt ,

Yeah, I used to mess about with it but it became too much because Steam updates so damn much.

Needs to be running on Linux to make it perfect.

Well atleast for Gnome we have AdwSteamGTK which make Steam fit seemingly into LibAdwaita.

KingJalopy ,

Were you actually an awesome gamer though?

I don’t think that those three buttons would be in the statusbar. “Add a Game” would be in the sidepane “Games”, “Manage Downloads” and “Friends and Chat” would be a view (in the sidepane) instead of a button.

but overall, a damn beautiful interface :)

Frutiger Aero from Windows Vista and 7 was the peak of UI design.

It was so much more welcoming and fun. Sure it sucks at scalability but that’s easily resolved with proper vector graphics.
