Big improvements and new features for the Steam Desktop client are now out of Beta!
Pinnable notes with adjusted transparency is pretty cool, especially for people who are on 1 monitor.
Some interesting changes to the UI. I’ll have to look more into what else is new tomorrow
I’ve been on the beta for a while and like it much more than the old design. It also comes with some improvements like the notes feature
There does seem to be a lot of complaints over it but I like it so far. It definitely feels less sluggish for me in some areas than it used to.
Wait a sec… was I chosen as a beta test case? Because I’ve had these features for at least a month. I thought they were already available to everyone.
Probably you are in steam beta program, you can join from steam settings and leave anytime you want
Looks great but I have some scaling issues on a 1440p screen, hope it gets fixed soon
Yeah, same here. Apparently this has been an issue for quite some time, but it seems there has been a bit of progress lately. You can launch steam with a
forcedesktopscalingarg to scale the ui like this:steam -forcedesktopscaling 1.25Some people in the github issue thread have reported issues like crashing and an oversized overlay though. See: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5908
