gald this update finally came the previous ui was so messy and ugly and usless

[AlexTheRedScout]

this update is so much better then previous one

[NakiBest]

Agreed!

Now right-click menu in Notification Area has even the games icons! :) No icons were there in old GUI. Also, the menus font text is bigger & thus easier to read.

To the dumm-ace that said menus are just "spaced out" - they are not just spaced out you #$%^, please check your eyesight (visit your ophthalmologist ASAP!), or take some screenshots and compare - you will see the difference.

Yes, the menus are more spaced out indeed, but the font text size IS bigger too, so a definite, clear improvement.
Mind you - I am using only a Full HD (1080p) display, I hear on 4K displays the font text size difference between "Old" and "New" GUI is even more pronounced.

Of course, logo of Steam in About screen is a great improvement too.
Should have been there years ago! :)
(Well, not a big functionality change but welcome anyway.)

indeed it is

[Zarineth]

For me it's the exact same client with slightly changed look. I don't understand why people are so hysterical about it, but it's also not mindblowing in any way.

I am happy with the change, i still wish it was exactly like the old UI though...

If it was like the old UI, we would not be calling it "NEW UI". :)

I don't really care about the UI other than that it needs to work.

This one doesn't. Pages go black after a while, and some functionalities in the forums don't even work (can't Block someone or Edit my posts, for example). I'm forced to use the browser version.

Also, the memory usage is absurd.

They need to make a lightweight, functional version of the client. This one is garbage.

the reason poeple are complaining about it is because of spefic related issues, i still don't why poeple are so made over the removal of the music player when you can just go on youtube instead

[PocketYoda]

I liked both GUI.. this version is crazy broken though.

Well what's the point of removing already established features, and then making listening to the soundtracks they sell more of a pain.

Those both suffer from audio quality losses, and if I'm not mistaken, ads.

I don't personally care, I use the audio player that came with my system to play audio files. But apparently people liked Steam's for some reason. Those people are understandably annoyed at the inexplicable loss.

Really the only thing that matters to me is that the client be lightweight and functional. The current one is neither.

Then you deal with ads if you don't use an ad blocker.
