Well atleast for Gnome we have AdwSteamGTK which make Steam fit seemingly into LibAdwaita.
This just hits hard
Can we return to Aero? Is that too much to ask?
I've been long enough on this place that I know you can get similar effects on Linux
(not mine, found on image search)
first screenshot doesn't look like aero at all tbh. second one more so. this is the most accurate port I know of tho https://gitgud.io/wackyideas/aerothemeplasma

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.
New KDE brought the cube back!

I think I speak for everyone when I say
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Oh fuck. We need themes on steam client
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.
Yeah, I used to mess about with it but it became too much because Steam updates so damn much.
Oh man, that formatting nostalgia hit.
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.
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
Were you actually an awesome gamer though?
I don't know how to feel about this.
It's making my micro soft
Perfect choice of game to display this
10/10
I don't get it. /g
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 😅
Thank you very much for willing to help, I hope you're okay! 🤗
P.S.: I've seen your other comments (forgive me if that bothers you) and I would like to say that you're an amazing person! I like how you always treat others with respect and kindness, this world surely needs more people like you! Please don't forget to take care of yourself and remember that you're loved! 👋
I try not to let my nostalgia get the better of me, but god damn I really miss when everything looked like this.
Maybe I'm older than you, but I preferred Windows XP style, it was better without the confusing ribbon bar.

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.
Thanks, I hate it.
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?!
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.
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.

Well of course it's a timeline, it's the timeline of hell.
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...
I hate this. I'm pretty sure this gave me PTSD somehow.
...how? HOW?
