This just hits hard

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

mkwt ,

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

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

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.

Perfect choice of game to display this

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.

chomsky-yes-honey A better timeline?

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

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

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

KingJalopy ,

Were you actually an awesome gamer though?

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 😅

Strayce ,

I don’t know how to feel about this.

EurekaStockade ,

It’s making my micro soft
