Steam Open Beta

Yeah, no compact mode is saddening, otherwise it's nice.

Noticed some quirky stuff in the overlay last night. I'm glad they put a clock in it finally.

Considering rolling back if this develops into a personal annoyance.

If you're not willing to put up with instability, roll back now. Seriously. The rest of us would rather not hear you moaning about it. :\

As for the beta, I think the new look really ugly in some places, but I LOVE the new games list (hoping compact comes back though) and in-game overlay.

The best thing is, the bits I don't like are all editable in the skinning system. Hooray!

I rolled back as the overlay is missing bits of text (like parts of URLs and the panel banners). Still excited about this though.

Running perfectly here, but has some background activity all the time though. I wonder how to reduce it

Edit: ok, I got it, has to do with friends management.

I went back to the old one for the same reason. Still not sure if I like the new one or not. I wish it would save your view preferences (like list view, or view "only installed games").

I switched to this skins as soon as he had the chat interface working. It is MUCH better.

I was also getting this weird interaction with Borderlands where mouse view wouldn't work until I shift-tabbed to the overlay and shift-tabbed back into the game. The old client didn't do this, but I haven't tried playing again since I reverted.

Regardless, it shows a lot of promise and I like where they're going with it.

looks good, shame they still can't fix the randomly screwing up downloads (all mine are now 99% downloaded but refuses to do anything else, including letting me use them) and offline mode.. which it now seems to be stuck in but showing the store
