Valve Launches Public Beta For New Steam UI
by Brian Leahy, Feb 23, 2010 4:45pm PSTA public beta for an all-new user interface for Steam, Valve's digital distribution program, is now available to all users through the beta opt-in setting inside of Steam. If you have Steam installed, click here to opt-in.
New Steam User-Interface for 2010In the press release, John Cook, director of Steam development, released the following statement:
We made hundreds of changes to the Steam client as a result of customer feedback on the interface, performance, and functionality. For example, we swapped out the Internet Explorer rendering engine with WebKit, which gives us a bunch of size, stability and performance benefits. This release of Steam leaves us well prepared for another year of strong growth.
A full rundown of the new features in this beta can be found at the Steam website.

I want to start suggesting Steam to all my non-computer-savvy friends and family members, but most have kids and would not appreciate them having access to everything on the store.
The rest of the interface looks pretty good though. Definitely moving in the right direction.

I'm too lazy to sign up for a steam forums login; someone feel free to post this in there.

I hope Valve will keep the option to switch back to the old interface for the people who see red on a console-like new designs with BIG BULKY letters on a "normal" monitors.
Otherwise, good job ditching IE.
Oh, and please, some separate tab for demos too.

I have kids who have their own Steam accounts, and in the prior version if either of us made a game our favorite it became a favorite on all the accounts. Even if the game wasn’t purchased on the other account. For example my daughters World of Zoo was in my favorites and my favorite of “Left4Dead 2†was in my daughters favorite.
Now, I don’t see her games and she doesn’t see hers unless we both own them. So it’s a step in the right direction.
If you have extra resources, for the love of god put them on Episode 3. I can live with a UI I see once a day, but can't bear the waiting anymore.

Hopefully they'll keep the footprint small too.

And scrolling in the new features list I saw this:
- New game-specific video page, containing all of a game's trailers in one place, now in higher resolution Flash format
Since they're using Webkit now, couldn't they have gone with an HTML 5 player instead of depending on resource-hog Flash?

Apparently Valves implementation of this works the other way around, when you block a friend they can still see you online but you can't see messages from them. How bloody retarded.
Fuck Yes. Now let me do the same thing to my friend list so I can organize all these random people.

Can't wait until this is all polished further. Fat gamelist is the only issue I have so far, otherwise everything else is pretty slick (expected bugs/glitches aside).

Open Windows/IE Internet Properties -> Connections -> LAN Settings and uncheck "automatically detect settings"
This fixed the problem for me.

This works in the details and grid view, but if you hit the wrong key when trying to jump to the game you want, you'll have to wait a few seconds until you type search again.

I love steam, but that was really the main feature I was hoping they'd add :D
