Steam Library Beta Coming Sept 17

[Seearbe]

I think the new version looks pretty sweet. And if they're going to make a better hash of categorising games, it'll be a lot more functional too!

 

[Yaayuh!]

I don't get why they redone the library when it's the store that's a big pile of ****.

Well it doesn't work, so that wasn't it, came back today.

Well, if you happen to find the right way to turn it off, please let us know !

People will always complain when something they are used to is changed. It was strange at first but functionality wise I don't find it any different now. (I've not tried any of the new features yet)

That doesn't mean the change is better. Very often people complain for good reason. The change is less functional, provides less information and takes up more space and takes up more resources to display. Its inferior in just about every way. Like a lot of people I really want the old one back as the new one is putting me off using Steam its that bad.

You will get used to it. I actually find it handy. Love this update. Would never go back

What is handy about a large row that shows information about games that I don't even play? I just want it gone!

Well, if you happen to find the right way to turn it off, please let us know !

Yeah, Will do

Any idea how long Steam support usually take to respond to help requests?

How do I revert to the old style?

How do I revert to the old style?

Was a couple pages back. The one below the quote is the new updated version though, saw it after I posted this.

Any way to get rid of the menu on the left, and that Whats New at the top ?, i just want my games displayed.


Yeah, thank god.

EDIT:

Found a way to get rid of the 'Whats New', right click them all, and remove, then it disappears, but i suspect, that when theres a new update, it'll just reappear.

Theres some Custom Images for your games for the new layout too now.

Thanks

Was still getting the 'Whats ******* New' popups , until i found a solution over on the SteamCommunity.

Edit this file:
Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamui\css\libraryroot.css

Change this bit:
.libraryhome_WhatsNewContainer_gdZT7 {
position: relative; }

To this:
.libraryhome_WhatsNewContainer_gdZT7 {display:none!important; }

This will stay until steam updates the file (usually when the steam client updates itself), but it's rather easy to put in place again (just save the file somewhere, then copy pasta when needed)
Alternatively, bookmark this page.

Thanks to Bird for that.

Just had another update, added a new shelf called Play Next, at the top, like the ******* Whats New.

Managed to get rid of it though
