[THE_MACHINE]

I could not find a thread showing all the bugs of the new Steam UI, this one cracked me up today

Been threads on it in the steam beta UI board at valve.
Steam's psychic!

yesterday's update destroyed steam for a little while, making playing any games impossible.... dunno how they fucked that one up so bad.

[CabooseJr]

New UI is pretty, but it's hella glitchy.

[CrAsHOvErRide]

Just a copied Zune GUI :P

[Con]

Looks like they fixed some stuff.

[Heathen]

Anyone lose text every once in a while?

[Con]

Sometimes in the overlay, yes.

[flibitijibibo]

Yeah, just in the overlay for me. Is there an explanation yet?

[Con]

One of the updates broke it, Valve is working to fix it.

Ahahah I actually said the same thing to one of my friends when I tried it out

[Jelly]

Add the argument " -no-dwrite" to your steam shortcut. It disables the text anti-aliasing and fixes the overlay glitch.

[Heathen]

sweet

[Con]

Is there some way to run a pinned program with arguments? You can only do it with a shortcut, but you cant pin shortcuts to the start menu and then you dont even get the jump list if you use the taskbar.

[flibitijibibo]

Yeah, right click the pin, right click the program, properties. Not sure why you have to do that much, but eh. (Could have been listed in the first right click)

[Con]

That doesn't work... at least for steam it doesn't.

Dunno if it makes a difference, but are you not using the beta? Me = tard. I just tried it with the UI beta and it was a changeable field.

Edit: OH! Just remembered: If you didn't repin it after using the beta, unpin it, restart Steam, and pin it again. That should bring the updated shortcut.

Daerp to me thinking you weren't in the beta.

If there's a link at the top of a chat window all the text in the window turned white and gets underlined in the chat window. It's weird :x

you need to delete that shortcut and make your own.

[Con]

removing and repinning the exe worked

[flibitijibibo]

"Bump?"

Dunno how old this is, but I discovered it just now:

Woo! It's in View > Small mode.

[Heathen]

need to re-enter the beta.

[Rook]

They need to add the small 16x16 icons back in.

[Rook]

They need to add the small 16x16 icons back in.

Well they're back aka new steam ui is usable.

actually holy sh#t just heard the new sounds firsthand, is there any way to change them to the old sounds?

double edit like a boss- it won't let you go back to the old ui anymore, alright valve you can quit trolling now!

Here's the old message sound (http://www.mediafire.com/?bnmt0y0zjrk), if you hate the new one like I do. Put it in C:\Program Files\Steam\friends and set the file to read-only, otherwise the new message.wav will auto-load back in when you get messaged.

[Jelly]

Run steam with the -clearbeta argument and you get old steam!!

[Amit]

I like the new sounds.

[n00b1n8R]

Rook how do you get it to look like that?
