New Steam Beta UI

[AAA]

tabs for chat windows are a huge pain. especially when you're talking to more than one person at a time in-game. =/ I wanna know what mah bros be sayin' when i'm typinz to some1 eltsa.

Also, I'm not liking the problem this Mr. Big is having....

Well tabs can usually detach. Its a huge pain to have to move windows out of the way or minimize them just to see someones convo, or who messaged you.

A few bitchy points:
- Chat logs?
- Steam icon looked nicer when it was plain black and white. Another victim of the gradient abuse, it seems...
- Steam forums still require a new browser? Weird how the Steam forums aren't easily accessible in Steam itself.

And one bitchy question: Can those background pictures (seen in library) for each game be used for mods/non-Steam programs?

There's even games missing from my steam folder

delete everything from the steam folder except steam.exe and your steamapps folder, restart steam.


if that don't work send in a ticket.

[Jelly]

just deleting the blob files and restarting should be OK

Wait...Mac has games?

Seeing as other sites like Direct2Drive and Gamersgate have a few Mac Games (although nowhere near as many as the Apple Store) Valve might be going into a relatively easy market. That could also drive up the number of Mac games (leaving linux guys like me in the dust >.<).

VALVe is also working on a Linux port of Steam and their games too. They had a job listing for it awhile back.

But seriously, it's nice to see that they're moving to other OS's. Might even give me a reason to try Linux again.

No.
