Shiny - Spore - 02-23-2010
Go to your Steam settings and opt in for the Steam beta. That's all you need to know.

i hope this is a joke. cuz it looks like gabe force a 12yo to design this before he then proceeded to eat them
Re: Shiny - Spore - 02-23-2010
Only problem right now is that half of it isn't loading. Maybe so many people are downloading it at once or something.
Edit: The feature where it shows what friends play what games is very nice.
Edit 2: New downloads menu is nice too.
Edit 3: Additional invite functionality in friends window is good.
Edit 4: Games Grid is awesome looking. Not really useful, but awesome looking.
Edit 5: It showing your recent achievements in each game screen is cool.
Edit 6: OH MY GOD YOU CAN MAKE GAME CATEGORIES YOURSELF!
Edit 7: Woah, Half-Life 2: Episode 1 has achievements on PC now.
Edit 8: And Half-Life 2.
Edit 9: In-game shift tab menu kicks ass. IT SHOWS THE TIME! No more needing to spam friends.
Edit 10: Half-Life: Opposing Force has achievements now too.

I require screens before I want to do something like this
Re: Shiny - copulatingduck - 02-23-2010
you can just opt back out if you don't like it. personally, i didn't like it, most of the updated UI was an even bigger waste of space than the previous iteration
Re: Shiny - copulatingduck - 02-23-2010
but here's a post about it: http://store.steampowered.com/uiupdate/

Yeah, I agree. there's a LOT of empty space. I mean, they should either remove all that space below the name and avatar in the chat or make the avatar bigger. There's also that space above and below the STEAM COMMUNITY GAMES thing and at the bottom of the friends list.
One other thing is that they need to add collapsible lists in the detailed games list.
Edit
oh, you can actually type to jump in the games window. Like, I can type "team" and it'll jump straight to Team Fortress 2 where I can hopelessly try to get it to launch.
Re: Shiny - Turtle - 02-23-2010
I really enjoy the Game Categories, they're not really that necessary, but they're pretty great when you just want to find a specific thing.
Re: Shiny - Bonesinger - 02-23-2010
I think the new UI looks really sleek and nice. People wanted some pictures so here you go.

Community still looks the same and the News is what you would expect.
Re: Shiny - Trace - 02-24-2010
This new UI is pretty slick, I like it 8)

Conspiracy?
Re: Shiny - Surf314 - 02-24-2010
I dunno if I like the art style. I kinda hate how they shade it to try and make it look 3D or at least less flat. I like my UI's fairly simple in art and detailed in presentation.

I could only get mine to 20 percent by scrolling it up and down incredibly fast ):
Re: Shiny - copulatingduck - 02-24-2010
you probably have a better proc than mine. still, scrolling a fl should not do that.
my overlay broke too, so the only part i really liked about this is dead. =(
hopefully they get all the kinks worked out soon
Re: Shiny - zaneyard - 02-24-2010
