Some big UI updates are coming and they've released a public BETA for users to try. Games "Library" tab They've renamed the Game tab to "Library" and added different views to it. You can now use the Detail view to see various information on the game such as which friends are currently and have previous played it, achievements, forums, manual, and view news for any selected game. The List view is what we're all familiar with, remaining mostly unchanged, with small changes such as Steam Store style logos for the games in place of the 16x16 icons, and added cloud sync info column. The final Library view is a grid layout showing only large banners for each game. You may sort your Library by showing All, Recently Played, Installed, Favorites, or create your own category (ex. MMOs, Shooters). The Store gets a facelift which is presently exclusive to the client. The community pages remain the same. The Steam Friends window layout hasn't changed much. Invites appear at the top of your list allowing you to accept a friend or group invite without the community page. The Chat window remains mostly unchanged, the new font is used here and some minor skin changes.
sucks donkey balls, start it up click on any of the games/library/links/whatever and it crashes.. i think there was something like steam.exe -clearbeta or so if you want to get out of it (since i could not even select to de-select the beta) see steam forum for answers otherwise, loads of people having crashes..
Some people are indeed experiencing crashes, that is unavoidable with a beta. I, myself have no problems whatsoever.
Got no links or buttons whatever, so i cannot choose anything. Sucks so far :S fixed it Arial instead of Arial Black looks much better imo, steam needs restart to get it working. edit 2: ingame browser doesn't work, can't connect to our steamcommunity page for instance. So reverted to the old one.
I really like it tbh, you need to get used to it and it has a couple bugs atm, but when I fixed the tekst on the buttons like Doelwit I really liked it. Also in game menu has improved a lot, the new browser is much better too (does work for me until I press view all friends in the game menu). Still some weird crashes sometimes when I do something unusual or when I go to friendslist ingame, but for me it's good enough to use it already.
