Hate it for the current day but gives off strong nostalgia vibes
Well of course it’s a timeline, it’s the timeline of hell.
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.
Needs to be running on Linux to make it perfect.
Well atleast for Gnome we have AdwSteamGTK which make Steam fit seemingly into LibAdwaita.
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…
Hmmmmmmm, do not like that. do not like that one bit.
Frutiger Aero
Thanks, I hate it.
Can’t even get HL3 on an alternate timeline.
We might be living in the timeline that gets HL3. A recent leak from a VA’s resume suggests that it might be in development.
Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.
Rumor has it that HL3 or some other single player HL game is currently in the works!
Wasn’t Alyx HL3?
It was a prequel.
can someone make this a thing somehow?
Didn’t Steam have skins/themes back in the day?
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 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.
I’m sure they didn’t think of the window police.
Missed opportunity to include Portal 3
I hate this. I’m pretty sure this gave me PTSD somehow.
