Clicking it 2x or Home will return you to the home page.
Clicking it once takes me back to the thing I had clicked last time. And every time I start Steam it takes me to the "Home" part automatically, which as I mentioned before is absolutely useless.
People, even at worst this thing should be UI design 101, not some babby's first attempt. You should be able to choose "Games" from the "Library"-button and have an option to start the view with the first game in the list selected. Even EA allows this with Origin.
Please add your suggestion here...

Like I said, this is UI design 101, not something that should be added in after users have been forced to adopt it.
Apparently, they thought otherwise.
And that is why trust is earned, not born with.
Add shelf-> Choose a shelf-> All Games
Doesn't really solve the problem because
a) I would still be forced to start in Home (that I have no use for), spend an extra click or two to enter the collection. A better solution would have been an option from the "Library"-button to directly go to the first alphabetical game on the list (like the choice given by the earlier UI).
b) Since for some reason Valve decided to rotate the cover from horizontal to vertical, everything looks like they're just wasting space.
c) This was already possible on the old UI (which also offered written game names etc below the covers), but I prefer using the small list on the left since it's faster than constantly scrolling and wondering if that cover I saw was for the game I though I was searching for.
d) Now I have two lists of games. One on the list that offers me their names in text and one that shows me just their covers and takes so much space that I have constantly keep scrolling. Not to mention, there's no highlight or anything to tell me if the game has been installed or not.
I'm more and more curious why questions like these weren't presented to the development team since playing Devil's Advocate is the best way to get good and working software. This whole thing is more and more starting to feel like someone's vanity project.
Well gee golly, thank you!!! It's almost as if that was not said already. I guess now when I quit and start Steam it will take me to back to... No wait a minute, still Home.
More clicks, worse design. UI design 101, idiot.
You don't have to click Home you just click Library. Previously you would create the shelf with All Games, next to it you can sort Alphabetically, and cllick the play button next to the clock which reads: "show only ready to play games - installed on this machine"and turns blue.
You don't need 2 lists of games anymore, spend some time and categorize your games, then collapse the whole left column. Keep the left column only for drag♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ managing stuff if needed. For actual play just click on your desired collection (for example "Action RPG") and all your locally installed games will be shown in beautiful tiles. For me it's more organized this way, It's fast and it's beautiful.
Needs to rename the Library to Library-Home and add Last-Game-Opened.
That home page needs so much more work.
Even the game page needs more work as well.
settings: (Library > Hide Community) does absolutely nothing.
Previously all I had to do was hover my mouse over "Library" and choose "Installed".
