New steam UI overlay bad

[Sinaeb]

The new Steam Overlay is bad
Here's why:
The previous overlay was using text for the buttons which makes it super easy to find what you want to find
The new overlay you need to hover with your mouse to know what a button do, DRAMATICALLY slowing the search time.

Also going to this forum to post this complain I found a new issue, some of the new color schemings are actually burning my eyes, dark theme went too dark.

(tho I really like the new pull down for the store library etc colors)

i agree the colors hurt my eyes now

It's absolutely dog water. There are now 20 buttons at the bottom nobody is going to use. The only reason anybody ever used the overlay is for the web browser or the friends list for accepting invites and such.

What idiot wants a new overly complicated UI that takes up 40% of your screen?

Then apparently you don't know how to Alt + Tab or have 1 monitor and are poor.

Go away. The new UI is bad, stop defending it.

It's REALLY bad..
It's slow.. You dont know what buttons to press..it keeps opening new tabs.. There;s a bunch more stuff which was fine before the update
i really dislike it.

im a developer myself and realty wondering....Which moron product owner pushed this update trough??

Go work at a pharmacy or something.. this really sucks!

it's total garbage, and a pointless waste of valves time.

They better keep the old GUI going, one can only hope

When Steam loads, you cant even move the loading window..
It's annoying the ♥♥♥♥ out of me..

(2nd comment on this thread)

Worse than 90's flash games..

You can adapt to the new design, but not to the bugs

(Like the entire steam overlay being frozen, ending the webhelper task in task manager would’ve helped before, but doesn’t help now) :(

[Zefar]

Just switch to the Text version of the Overlay if you want to use that one.

[Zombiekiller4yo]

tbh i don't really dislike the new steam ui for the most part it's all pretty much the same but the newer buttons and stuff are just god awful imo

[jakub]

It’s super bad. Slow and most of the buttons is useless. It could be like 3 simple links. I don’t know who forks as ui/ux designer in valve but the person is bad. New cs2 also has enormous ui ♥♥♥♥ ups.

[Antiriad]

thanks god. looks like they are not forcing the new UI on us at all. But we can opt to use it in something called big picture mode.

thankyou god. thankyou god. erm i mean thankyou steam.
