STEAM UI - FONT SIZE !

[Tungsten]

I know that this has been mentioned before but i think this really has to be changed!
please implement a font size setting within the steam options/settings

for some it might be too big, but on my 1900x1200 screen the fonts are simply to small.
yes so small that i can't imagine this is healthy for one's eys.
i can not believe that it would be too much work to give users the option to increase/decrease font sizes

the store pages, forums, library and so on are too small or too big for some of us and changing windows settings like resolution or dpi can never be the solution from the point of view of those responsible for this @ steam.


change this please - it is a problem that persists for YEARS now!
thank you if you find the time to read this...

and you others: i wouldn't mind if you push the f*** out of this thread

Big picture mode.

Do we really need to tell you again to f** off? Why are you still here? Why are you following this thread? You seam to not have read the original post or pretends to ignore what people keep telling you. We want and need a real solution, just stop telling people to use Big Picture. People that are asking for it do not want Big Picture, its a capped mode. And the other "Fixes" are not real solutions by Valve. It's such a simple and stupid thing to add and Valve have simply ignored it for years and years. That is the real problem, that is why this thread exists. People are not stupid, they know about the f** Big Picture mode, they do not need you.

Big picture mode is designed for big TV, 4k screens. Valve has put so much effort into it and you guys just simply ignored it for years and years. That is the real problem.


You want real solution? Soon Valve will bring up their new "SteamU" Client design. Which has big text big icon (as you guys demanded) just like big picture mode except it is a desktop client and looks like a baby of Origin and Uplay according to the leak. (it runs in 4k)



Don't ♥♥♥♥♥ about it.

If that SteamU design is anything like you just described it...."just like big picture mode" then we sure will ♥♥♥♥♥ about it. Big picture mode, in the opinion of many, is a rubbish way to use Steam. We don't want to have something like a console experience on our desktops and laptops....that's why we don't use BPM now....we believe it to be crap. Sure, it's all opinion, but when you compare it to the client, thats the opinion we arrive at....not to mention the fact that BPM excludes things like the forums, and is still completely inappropriate if you intend to read a lot of text. BPM, in my opinion, is for Steam users who just really don't want to use Steam that much.

The Steam client, pretty much the way it is, is what we want to be able to use, and it's not too much to ask that it can be shown big enough for all users to read....even those using 4k. Incidentally, many of us aren't even using 4k. I use 1920:1080 on a 17inch laptop screen, and sit about 30 cm away from it....the OP uses something similar. Even at these resolutions the client font sizes are too small to read. When this thread was started in 2013, 4k was a lot less common than it is now, but the small text problem was already an issue then. I sure hope they fix it properly. Anything like BPM is just a joke and not what we want at all.

I want to use Steam on my 4K without destroying my eyes.

Big picture mode.

BP mode is ♥♥♥♥, it's like using a games console and is for people of your age (seven) btw I like your wabbit outfit.

BTW2-I have not ignored BPM I have tried to use it but it feels like using a games console and a step backwards. I actually used it for a couple of weeks but it just takes away that seat of your pants gaming feel and makes you feel like you are not the one controlling things. Like you are being mollycoddled.

The new SteamU UI should be like what MS did with Merto/Modern apps from win8.1 to win10.

Big picture but run in a window.

I'll certainly give it a try but I suspect it will be just another console skin for steam.

So how many people are waiting to bag the 1000th post in this thread, 25 left. I will give two games from the list of giveaways on my profile page to the owner of the 1000th
Send me a message if you get it and want the games (I say this because some people don't like to accept gifts on line) I will not post again so as not to influence it.
Rules
You must be the first to have the 1000th post any alterations after are null and void.
You must have at least one post already in this thread prior to this post. If the 1000th isn't by a person that qualifies then it will go to the first person who qualifies and posts after the 1000th
Consecutive posts are not valid so no spamming the thread
Just to be clear, by this last condition I mean that if you post 998, 999, and 1000 or even just 999 and 1000 you are not allowed to claim the games.

Big picture is not that bad. It has all the features that people has demanded for years. Account switching, browser tabs, fast emote loading in chat, list games with disk usage, easier to view broadcast (if you ever use that) and so on. Look that SteamU up on search engine. The new UI should be like some sort of tablet/ipad layout. Sorting headers like Win10 start menu in library is really a bad idea.

Don't know why the ♥♥♥♥ people love material design and literally every 2017 applications are using that kind of design now when it sucks so bad on PC. Material design hides all the buttons to make the screen looks "clean" and become "simple to use". Using symbol instead of icon with text to represent a feature is like going back to stone age when everyone is drawing icons to communicate.

so... wait...
what point are you trying to make?

its like you want everyone to shut up, because everythings fine.
yet you offer alternatives, because there's clearly a problem.
and then you berate the alternatives, because they're no good.

I'm not saying people should shut up, things are definitely not fine. But what can you do with it? This thread is like all those virtue signaling in the internet. There is no point to make. All it does is just drawing attentions. If Valve cares, they will take care of it. If they don't, there's no way to make them.

Just let it be and it will eventually come, if Valve cared. In the meantime, discuss all you want.

...I'm still very confused about your goals here.

We're basically doing the only thing we can do about it, posting here.
What alternative is there?
Stay silent? That's no world I want to live in!
People should complain about things that aren't good enough.
I don't mean cry and swear and get angry, I mean explaining problems in a reasonable way.

It sounds like you want what we want, but the way you've been replying so far suggested you felt things were fine...

Glad to see you're actually on our side, a bit.

I'll add a game for the winner.

Or maybe a 2nd price for 999 — It's a pretty nice and cool number as well.

[Vedgaras]

As far as I can see, SteamU was noticed in February 2017. No news since then. Following the path of Half-Life 3?

[grrl267]

But their card games, though. Allegedly Valve is 'always listening' to their community. I don't see it, possibly because the fontsize is so small on my 23" monitor...
