This just hits hard

Can't even get HL3 on an alternate timeline.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

We might be living in the timeline that gets HL3. A recent leak from a VA's resume suggests that it might be in development.

Can we return to Aero? Is that too much to ask?

[-] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I've been long enough on this place that I know you can get similar effects on Linux

(not mine, found on image search)

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Skip aero. Let's go back to compiz fusion and deskcubes.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

New KDE brought the cube back!

I'm rocking a desktop octagon with two monitors with all the fancy window animations on and still using less ram that windows on idle lol.

Oh fuck. We need themes on steam client

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago

You can. They are called skins though.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

Apparently official skin support no longer exists but Millennium for Steam looks like an unofficial tool that can be used for skins.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I used to mess about with it but it became too much because Steam updates so damn much.

[-] [email protected] 38 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Fucking Steam always getting shittier with each update! Why can't they be better like Microsoft's XBox Store or DRM free like Epic Games?!

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Comment from the alternate timeline

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Crazy how Microsoft sold of their XBox brand to Sega, conserding that this single handetly made Sega the biggest video gaming company world wide!

What kind of soulless psychopath leaves a window of this size unmaximized is the real question here. Also, a horizontal scrollbar in the main section, able to scroll maybe 8 pixels total to see some more of the glorious empty padding, could have been a nice touch as a consequence of the "unintended" window size.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I'm sure they didn't think of the window police.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

Thanks, I hate it.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

I try not to let my nostalgia get the better of me, but god damn I really miss when everything looked like this.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Maybe I'm older than you, but I preferred Windows XP style, it was better without the confusing ribbon bar.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Loved XP and loved Windows 7. Haven't like a single Windows OS since.

I'm with you - the nostalgia is fun. I installed https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95 as a joke, and I'm still using it a year later...

Oh man, that formatting nostalgia hit.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

I love how all the reactions to this are either "I love this" and "this is cursed beyond belief"

I personally would get a kick out of this as a skin for occasional use...

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Needs to be running on Linux to make it perfect.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Well atleast for Gnome we have AdwSteamGTK which make Steam fit seemingly into LibAdwaita.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

can someone make this a thing somehow?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Didn't Steam have skins/themes back in the day?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

They're still out there technically, but they get jankier every year. The new UI they released... last year? put the nail in the coffin for a lot of the fancy ones, but there are still options out there to skin your Steam UI.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Hate it for the current day but gives off strong nostalgia vibes

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Can you do one of these for Windows 3.1 or 95? That would be sweet!

Honestly, I hate steam (the client) so much. I have a fair sized library of games that I never play because it’s just torture to me to start that abomination of a program. Why the fuck couldn’t they give it a simple, clean, elegant, native UI that doesn’t treat my battery with wanton disrespect?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Have a look at Playnite, it might be a better fit for you, also includes other stores.

I think Trinity Desktop Environment looks very similar to this.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I think I speak for everyone when I say

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Does anyone have that skin?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I don't think that those three buttons would be in the statusbar. "Add a Game" would be in the sidepane "Games", "Manage Downloads" and "Friends and Chat" would be a view (in the sidepane) instead of a button.

but overall, a damn beautiful interface :)

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Frutiger Aero from Windows Vista and 7 was the peak of UI design.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

It was so much more welcoming and fun. Sure it sucks at scalability but that's easily resolved with proper vector graphics.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Nightmare fuel

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I loved this theme! I remember upgrading from XP to Vista Aero (later win7) and being blown away! Aero based themes are still my favorite. Windows 8 and 10 looked cheap and boring.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

...how? HOW?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Perfect choice of game to display this
