    So Steam's Beta client rolled out a new look for the Steam client. What do you guys think?

    Personally I prefer the older one, everything is all flat now like Windows 8. I don't really like it, I prefer the classic look.

    Oh hey I was actually going to make a post about this as well. I think the new one's alright, some of the stuff needs a change. (Like how in the friends list hovering your mouse over a friend doesn't hilight them anymore)

    It's alright though, the new icon looks nice. I think it's a bit odd thought that they went for blue, as Steam's aesthetic has always been green on grey.

    Anyone got screenshots of it?

    I really don't want to sign up for the beta. That said, I liked the UI before the current one. The changes annoyed me greatly.

    It's a lot like the one you're using, only more blue gradients. I might get a picture later.

    Edit: Ninja'd

    You should have had the library open rather than the store, because the store hasn't changed. :p

    I must say, that looks an awfully lot like the current Steam UI.

    The notification bar icon doesn't change to say it's downloading.

    I am not happy.

    Ah, we'll that's such a tiny detail I'd probably never use anyway. Though I can understand the difficulties behind it.

    it looks ugly. Insanely ugly. Especially the blue streak thing at the top left. It looks as if my screen is broken there.
