The fact that I never really noticed this for over 10 years of being a decently regular steam user speaks to how generally well put together the UI is, maybe not despite this, but because of this

I agree. The minimalism speaks louder than the accents AND fonts they change it to. The person in charge of that department must know when a good thing doesn't need too much of a change. Despite it being changed bi-annually, lol.

Someone should make a game show where you guess what button it is without the text lol.

I think this is better than having a UI that looks like it came straight from Windows 98.

This is so funny - I never thought about it before but they're all so inconsistent! Imagining the work it might take to fix this sounds like a lot though - as long as accessibility is good maybe it doesn't matter so much.

Didn't they just fix all of this mess a few weeks ago? Or did that just introduce even more inconsistencies?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'd say they fixed a lot of it but still a lot remains. Going in the right direction though.

I will never unsee this, hahah. Amazing.

I really like the new UI, there are a few glitches... but hey, just give 'em time to fix it.

The design itself is pretty.

What about the menus opening on the other monitor?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You should add the error bar that pops up over the window control buttons on the very top of the window as well

It’s getting to be that age :(

Steam has been a mess for years. Of all the applications I’ve ever used on a pc, steam has broken the most/had the most annoying user experience, hands down.

You must be unlucky. I can't recall ever having issues with steam.

God I wrote like 3 paragraphs of hair-pulling stupid bugs and experiences I've had with steam just over the last couple years but jfc, long story short is your experiences are not universal. Steam horror stories are as common as flies on a week old corpse

Yeh I get it my experience of 1 isn't a good stat.
