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’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.

Pacmanlives ,

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 ,

first screenshot doesn’t look like aero at all tbh. second one more so. this is the most accurate port I know of tho gitgud.io/wackyideas/aerothemeplasma

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.

Thanks, I hate it.

Needs to be running on Linux to make it perfect.

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

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.

I_Has_A_Hat ,

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 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.

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.

chonglibloodsport ,

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.

GiveOver ,

Perfect choice of game to display this
