Now that the New UI is Released, can I go back to the old one(or change themes)?

So, the new UI is out of beta, and just as I was thinking it would be, Themes are gone(at least I think, I can't find them), even outside of beta. Is there any way that I can get my themes back?

Skins have been gone or at least don't function properly, for years. Meaning you can no longer skin the friends list. You can't revert it or change colors.

I mean you can no longer skin the friends(and I think library) but running adwaita-steam or Fluent-Metro was still a much better "modern steam" than the "modern steam" we got, though I'm at least happy that we kept the iconic blue and green.

There was a huge Steam skin called Air. The author of that scan gave up a long before this update. Like, years ago, I think right around the time where you couldn't alter the friends list. Some of those skins were really nice but there is no point in having it at least in my opinion, If it doesn't all match. People have taken that skin and modified it to be used in the new version of Steam, but again you still can't skin all parts of the UI.

I still prefer being able to skin some of the UI over being able to skin nothing at all, considering I rarely look at my friends list(I have 1 friend)

skins have not been gone for years, though? and they functioned just fine, friendlist aside, with certain updates just breaking them a little until it gets patched again

i don't mind the default UI too much personally, but outright removing skins as a feature rather than giving them at least some support is really bad for the user, even if only like 10% of people actually use the feature

YOPu can still apply changes to the desktop client. iT's just a lot harder to get them to stick now.
Just had a really fun time removing the Red End of Life alert from the client again.

Oddly. The new Css arrangement actually seems to make it easier to tweak since the stuff is spread accross fewer files and fewer directories.

I strongly suspect we will see skins re-added once they've finished the full public roll out period
