Steam Client Beta Update Adds Several Features
The new version is available now for Steam beta users, and is packed with design changes. Most noteworthy is a new library menu, which puts a much greater emphasis on friend activity and games you own but haven’t actually played yet. Valve has also revamped individual game pages and provided faster access to your own profile.
You can try the new mode out yourself by opening Steam > Settings, then going to the Account tab and hitting the Change button under the Beta Participation section. Select “Steam Beta Update,” then restart the software. Finally, switch to Big Picture mode through the View menu.

I could never get a grip of the gaming/big picture mode, taking up the full screen just doesn't suit me

Daniel-Hall_Monitor That look looks pretty nice if you ask me... to bad im not much of a pc gamer :/
you should start becoming one , pc will always be better than a console + its way more fun !!
i beg to differ on the "more fun part," i for one have always had more fun on xbox which is why my pc more less just collects dust aside from the occasional game of civ. i will say this, i enjoyed building my pc more-so than actually using it so if you do get into pc gaming make sure to build your own!
