How do i prevent community content from loading automatically with the new steam library UI?

[BnN]

I have low bandwidth/low performance mode ticked/enabled in library settings but community content is still loading up automatically which makes the library unresponsive.

Thanks for reading

Try relaunching Steam.

For your friend activity community that will be active.

same results.. i forgot to mention that if i reinstall steam and launch it under low bandwidth/performance mode, community content doesnt load up automatically... until i relaunch it.

When we just close Steam using the X then shutting down our PC Steam boot loader is still running in the background and windows forces Steam to close fully. Settings maybe lost here.

To exit Steam fully use either the rightclick Steam boot loader and exit or use Steam top left corner exit. Then shutdown PC for the night. The settings should be saved then.

I have also disabled community Content Steam Settings Library..
and only see the option to View it if I want.
But since I have tons of friends activity and my activity over the top of it back dated to August 2019.. Its too far down to scroll to.
Now I just view Community Content from under a game's wallpaper.

well i always close steam by right clicking that steam icon in the notification bar then exit. https://prnt.sc/q7t16q

now i logged back in today after shutting down my pc entirely and it's still loading up community content without prompting me to "view" it. It's weird since i've never had any issues with steam in the past

So it seems like Friend activity is the one i want to get rid off.. i dont even think there's an actual setting to turn that off. Even Friend activity settings don't work with the new steam library..

Community will be disabled, but friend activity will remain active.

If you want to go extra mile, you want to look into the CSS file for Steam UI, which you be able to find option in there to disable it, there is away to disable what's new, so make sense friends feed may be under the same CSS file as well.

Im trying to find something to turn it off in clientui>friends.txt but to be honest im not good at this in general. currently trying to find a True/False or something to disable friend activity somehow..

Found this in after doing few minutes look.

Look for this.

.appactivityday_Event_UVeN0 {
  position: relative;

Change to that.

.appactivityday_Event_UVeN0 {
  display: none;     

Time stamp will remain, but content will be removed.

It keeps switching back to position: relative; when i restart steam. also changing libraryroot to "Read-only" simply redownloads the file with default settings. Does it work/stay for you? Or do u know a way to prevent it from changing?

Sure make a new skin for Steam.

1. Go here C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\resource\ now look for folder called styles, make a copy of that folder, and put it on your desktop.

2. Now head to here C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\skins make a new folder, call it whatever you want, go into that folder, and make new folder and call it resource now go into that folder, and make new text file, open it, and copy, and paste what I put.

.appactivityday_Event_UVeN0 {
  display: none;     

Now save file, and rename file to webkit.css it will ask if you want to change it format, click yes.

3. Drag and drop of that copy of style you made before, into that resource folder, and should look like this. https://imgur.com/saA48cl

4. Head into Steam settings select your skin, and restart, and enjoy.

Thanks a lot! Finally i got rid of it (it shows up like this now https://prnt.sc/q7u2ml) but i dont mind since it no longer freezes and i can switch between games in my library instantly just like before :D

Thanks again, i appreciate it!
