Ability to disable "Steam has finished downloading" popup.

[Atypical]

This seems like such a small, silly thing to not have. I just installed a bunch of games and I'm watching YouTube while waiting for some of them to download, and the little popup keeps popping up...

It's a feature. It's trying to let you know you were successful. How does it steal focus from a browser though?

I don't care if it's a "feature", I want the ability to disable it LOL. Calling it a "feature" doesn't change anything.

It steals focus by popping up.

You could try to move it to another desktop with win+tab+newdesktop

Well that works in some situations but not all, and it's a bit silly that I would even have to do that in the first place.

Actually scratch that, another popup just popped up so I guess it doesn't even work anyway.

There should just be more customizability in the different kinds of notification pop-ups, period.

I've seen some people say they don't want to see stuff like the new item notifications when they get trading cards, for example.

Yeah, I mean "finished downloading" is just the first thing that came to mind. If it pops up, I want the option to make it not pop up.

As I was typing that sentence, another game finished downloading and interrupted my comment.

It would be funny to queue up a huge game download, and then find a ton of like <100MB games and queue them all up after the big download, then cancel the big download. Your computer would probably be nearly unusable for a few minutes while it downloads like 100 games in rapid succession.

i just want to remind everyone that it still sucks to not be able to disable this annoying notification.

Turning off all toast notifications (added in 2023) doesn't do this?
