What do you think about new steam?

[no way]

I love new steam theme. I'm just curious about your thoughts.

Type and buttons far too small. No way to increase size of anything. This renders the UI useless to me now so I'll just use my browser.

You can actually.

If you're using Win 10 or 11 go to Windows settings and set your native desktop resolution lower and have steam set to go with the desktop resolution.

I have my laptop hooked up by my bed with my TV and if I set it to 1080p, then the text is too small to read, so I drop Windows to 720p and it's fine then.

Of course, because the Wikipedia sources are so reliable and they are never biased ideologically or by financial interests. You live in a fantasy world.
Did you really just defend Wikipedia? Such an independent source of information that it appears first in all Google results.

You have let me down, your pragmatism exists only within certain controlled parameters.

And again it's not wikipedia. Are you saying you don't know how they work?

You see those little blue suprescript numbers after sentences? THEY'RE THE SOURCES.

You go down to the bottom of the page and find those numbers and click on those links.

Thus proving yet again you have no idea what you're talking about and you're being dishonest.

But here's the kicker. If these sources are wrong, you need to demonstrate that with BETTER evidence. You can't just go "nope", because I can do the same with you and then we're an an impasse.

♥♥♥♥, how do we correct that? Oh, yes .... EVIDENCE.

So yet again you can't escape burden of proof. I hope it sinks in.

You are not able to understand what I have said right? I said something really easy to understand. Is it really that hard for you? What does your cheap tutorial to use Wikipedia have to do with what I said? lol man

Because it demosntrates an explanation of bruden of proff that shows you are wrong.

It shows that you are alaso wrong as it shows links to reputable sources, that you claimed weren';t there. Also demonstrating you to be wrong.

And again, your "nope" defence is also wrong because again you cannot escape burden of proof.

See, you should have learned by now you can't wriggle out of your claim. YOU made assertions and all you've done when offerde evidence of how burden of proof works and why your claim must be dismissed as nonsense is try to dodge and move the goalposts.

Ergo, you keep on being wrong more and more and your claims still remain rubbish.

What terrible advice! You should always use only the monitor's native resolution! If you want the interface to be larger, then you just need to enable scaling in the system settings.

Demonstrate why it's terrible advice please?

It's entirely germane to the problem of fixing Steam's font size.

Scaling doesn't necessarily work as it can wreck the mouse pointer in games sometimes.

It is 2023 - 720p is not really a viable or good resolution anymore. :)
It was maybe, 5, 10 years back, in the days of TVOut ports -- but not now. :)

I still run 1280x1024 for my monitors though one can do 1600x1200.
Not everyone loves to use wide screen monters or perhaps they just want steam open on a second montier also laptops nowdays are notorious for haveing low res screens.

Also Just noticed they removed the handy "Restart Steam" from the menu too.

because it was uneeded you can just exit steam instead and relaunch it from there

Trash. No one asked for a rework, there was no need to change it, it was fine as it was.
They changed it just so they changed something

Exactly this.

Any non-native resolution will make the interface and text blurry.

I could do that with just about any operating system but I prefer to keep my desktop resolution as it is. I've not seen any other program or App that would force a user to change their desktop in order for it to be legible... Strange.

Well.. I can see Steam just fine on my browser with my resolution set to 1080p. Why can't this standalone app be legible without faceplanting the screen with heavy reading glasses?

Do they prefer we use a browser?

My browser isn't using any magnification.

When I right click, the text in the radial box, Back, Reload, Copy URL is just about what I'm used to all around with Steam (well, almost).,but readable. But forums, store page and any other text is just too small with no way around it.

Notifications text box is unbelievably too small and there is so much room to be used in this UI. Doesn't make sense to squash everything like this. I can imagine the pain a 4k Steam customer is enduring. You would need a microscope to see this text in 4k.

Are skins a no go now? I believe it could be fixed if a skin could be edited.

I have the same interface size in the client and in the browser. Can you show a screenshot of what yours looks like?
Have you changed the scaling settings in the client?
