Any way to hide the "what's new" shelf?

As title. Ever since the last client update, I am being nagged with the same articles every time I open steam. I can minimise the number that show up by changing it to product updates only, but its becoming really annoying. Before, once they were dismissed, they stayed dismissed.

By default, there is no way.

Either limit them to only ever show actual game updates (click the gear symbol on the top-right of the shelf) or sort of "hack" it by creating your own Steam Skin, that's the same, except w/o the "What's New"-shelf. Not sure if this method still works, though.

you can right click the title on that shelf and then select "show less" of that title...just keep adding titles to the "show less" list as they appear. I'm guessing eventually you'll tag your whole library.

Or just have it show more of the games you actually like. It's after all only in the home part and not like you stare at it for hours on end.

Wasting time to tell it to show less of everything else is just pointless.

Sadly, there's none aside from either dismissing everything on there (but apparently that doesn't work anymore? and even if it does, it has the problem that you can't just make stuff re-appear on demand either) or editing Steam's files and/or making a Steam skin to make it go away.

I have a hunch that Valve wants it to be there to nag people. This is because Valve made various tweaking options to adjust what sorts of things show up there, but they have yet to implement a way to just turn or toggle it off -- despite turning it off being a pretty simple edit to a Steam file.

#1. Go into the Steam/steamui/css folder
#2. Open file 6.css in Notepad++ or equivalent program
#3. Search for libraryhome_UpdatesContainer_17uEB
#4. Replace the text between the {} tags with display:none!important;
#5. Scroll right down to the bottom of the file where the /* sourceMappingURL etc bit is and just put any old characters between the /* and */ parts until the total character length of the file is exactly 1,089,524 characters. If you don't, Steam will just replace the file when you next restart.

Note that parts of these instructions will become obsolete the next time Steam updates the CSS files, as the file-size will change, but as long as you make sure any changes you make to the CSS files don't change the file size, it should be fine.
