Steam looks to be getting a UI refresh

4
Steam may soon get a – long overdue – UI overhaul, according to leaked presentation slides from a developer event.

Valve attended Indigo 2017 last month, a developer conference in the Netherlands. The company’s Alden Kroll shared a presentation with attendees about some of the changes coming to Steam, particularly on the business end.

One slide in particular mentioned something interesting: a UI refresh in Steam’s future. The slides, all of which can be seen on the Valvetime forum (via PCGamer), mostly touch on developer-related updates that consumers won’t see.

Likewise, the UI refresh mentioned in one slide didn’t come with any screenshots to show it off, and it didn’t expand on what goals Valve has with the new UI.

Back in February, a new Steam UI look was found in datamined update files. Valve made no comment at the time, and most didn’t think much of it. Though it’s possible this may have been part of it.

This is real cool, UI has been the same for a while now, its time to change it up.

A lot of people don't like change but most of the time it's for the better.

Glad they are changing it up, never really cared about how it looks long as I can play my games still.

dah Steam needs an update after a while no matter what the design is, it's nice to see a fresh looking UI what ever UI means? lol


UI is "User Interface"

I dont really care for the UI update as you can already have custom steam skins that change some stuff.


ah man but the original(not the original gangster) ui from 2003 was the best one it was great, for real though you cant tell me you didnt care for that one since that was just horrible ui out of the few we had, i do agree the skins are better then current default theme but this new ui i hope is something we wouldnt need a theme for
