Shows you where Valve's values are. Make it work and be functional first. Think about making it pretty later. I rather like it.

Eh, as much as I like Valve and Steam, there's still many issues long after the UI revamp, focused on making steam prettier.

Is your argument that as long as you cannot fix everything, then it's shit? Or... not worth praise. Help yourself out here.

I love what Valve have done for GNU/Linux, but you have to admit that the Steam software itself is a bit of a janky mess.

Aha. Yes. It has room for improvement for sure. You should just say that instead.

I mean, the original point stands as written though. The ENTIRE friends/overlay revamp served no purpose other than looking prettier, and it’s still broken for a lot of setups. When I try to chat from overlay, it minimizes my game and opens a desktop chat window EVERY TIME. For a lot of games the overlay just doesn’t work at all. And that’s not even getting into the issues with the main interface. There’s a LOT of room for improvement.
