I will never unsee this, hahah. Amazing.
The fact that I never really noticed this for over 10 years of being a decently regular steam user speaks to how generally well put together the UI is, maybe not despite this, but because of this
I agree. The minimalism speaks louder than the accents AND fonts they change it to. The person in charge of that department must know when a good thing doesn’t need too much of a change. Despite it being changed bi-annually, lol.
You know how Half Life and TF2 have almost the same settings menu?
Those two games are almost 10 years apart
Someone should make a game show where you guess what button it is without the text lol.
Didn’t they just fix all of this mess a few weeks ago? Or did that just introduce even more inconsistencies?
I’d say they fixed a lot of it but still a lot remains. Going in the right direction though.
I really like the new UI, there are a few glitches… but hey, just give 'em time to fix it.
The design itself is pretty.
Dude it’s not like they know anything about graphic design or UI elements I mean their core competency is gaming…OHHhHh
I think this is better than having a UI that looks like it came straight from Windows 98.
You should add the error bar that pops up over the window control buttons on the very top of the window as well
I kind of like how it’s a time capsule of all the different changes it’s been through
This is so funny - I never thought about it before but they’re all so inconsistent! Imagining the work it might take to fix this sounds like a lot though - as long as accessibility is good maybe it doesn’t matter so much.

Steam really is a mess
It’s getting to be that age :(
Steam has been a mess for years. Of all the applications I’ve ever used on a pc, steam has broken the most/had the most annoying user experience, hands down.
You must be unlucky. I can’t recall ever having issues with steam.
God I wrote like 3 paragraphs of hair-pulling stupid bugs and experiences I’ve had with steam just over the last couple years but jfc, long story short is your experiences are not universal. Steam horror stories are as common as flies on a week old corpse
Yeh I get it my experience of 1 isn’t a good stat.
I’m primally made for Microsoft Windows, I think it fits.
To bring back the older gui on the newest update use the launch command -vgui
To do this on Windows right click your Steam shortcut and go into the properties and put -vgui after what’s written in the Target section, For most people this will be
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe” -vgui
I’d also recommend SFP/SteamFriendsPatcher as it enables a lot more custom theming options.
