I quite like it, the text wasn't showing so I had to fix it by changing something in the style document. but it's really nice.

Same!

This, though, removed all of my games 'cept HL2 series and 1.6...
I closed steam and opened CS:S from my desktop and all my games are back now..

No problems for meh, I'm gonna stick with it.

I had the text problem btw, but it was easily fixable.

I actually love the in-game userface of it, where it shows the time and shit. Plus it less laggy opening and closing the old one.

Newfags get their friends temporarily removed, oldfags get thier games deleted, I think I'm good with being a newfag.

I have hears a lot of positive things about it, yet it is steam, and it breaks all the time... so i would rather avoid the lovely beta stage.

I had problems opening the in-game userface after playing for 20 minutes.

Same here. Only problem I really saw.

good looking ui but every time i would connect to a server it would crash my game by making the screen white/black/white+black shakes/making my game full of little squares and when i would close it my whole screen would just be full of little squares so if you get the same problem just go back to the old steam ui

I haven't had any problems yet, but I love the look for this UI.

It worked fine with me as well. It deleted only one item ( didn't even want it ) so I'm happy and it is cool.

I like it very much, had the text prob when i first put it on, but was fixed the day after. Haven't had any friends or games deleted (Guess im a fag too), only problem is opening it after have played some while without using it.

Love the new UI. :D As with others, the only problem that happens to me is the bug/glitch where the in-game interface doesn't open.

I don't like change, sticking to old one

Zaraki

This fucked up my games list...

I turned it back to normal instantly, because i don't care about a beautiful interface, without my game list -.-

This needs improvements!!

I'm sure it wasn't the UI beta.
You probably had the same problem others have been having, I heard it was fixed though.
But i'm not sure because it didn't happen to me.

I really like it so far.

I just got it today and so far I like it. It's a little laggy for me and I didn't lose friends or games so far so I am good. But overall it looks nice but I don't see how this is any "better" then the old version. It basically just looks like a bunch of new graphics and stuff.

I thought it was nice at first, but I kept having an issue with the text disappearing on buttons. Then I noticed there's no servers button on the main steam window, gotta click view -> servers.

I also prefer the old overlay, the new one seems cluttered.

Going to keep the old UI as long as possible.

I used it for a while and I liked it a lot, but there are too many issues with it to keep using it. I kept getting blank text for steam names in friends and chat, and I couldn't put up with it.

I don't get any problems that yall are listing, guess I'm lucky. I really enjoy how the ingame steam community shows events/the time/etc.

Edit: Bioshock ^ :P

Bump! I'm just using it, and it's absolutely phenomenal. It didn't delete any of my friends or games like some of you said, and I love the new style. :D

25 Apr 2010, 07:44pm
lol, I had a horrible and funny exp. When i was about to login. It glitch and said your game is processing. You can not log in at this time. Lol i bought the game like 2-3 years ago xD. Then it showed up. So i killed the process and started over. I am never gonna do Steam Beta UI ever again. Unless they pretty much fix up the glitches that some times unexpectedly happens lol.

I really like the new UI. It looks more modern and sleek, and it incorporates some really cool things functionality wise that make me like it. Instead of making a shortcut on the desktop I just have to right click Steam in the system tray. :P

I like it. The menu is a little too Microsoft/Zune/Windows 7 manual-like but it's clean and looks great.

If you don't know what I mean by the Microsoft/Zune thing, just look at the Zune menu.
http://www.iphonesavior.com/images/2007/11/27/zune3_zphone.jpg

The one thing that fucking bothers me is that they couldn't have one of the big menu options be the GAMES option... y'know, the whole fucking reason why people use Steam in the first place. Yeah, it's in library... but who gives a shit about the MEDIA and DOWNLOADS section(unless that's where your game downloads now go instead of showing up in the games list)? Not many people would care about the TOOLS section either, so why doesn't GAMES have it's own big button and the rest of that junk be separate? NEWS of all things has it's own section for Pete's sake, but not GAMES.

Why the fuck do they force this onto the store page? I had a migraine after looking at this nasty piece of shit, it's worse than looking at runescape for too long. The beta was crap and I had it for less than an hour but this is out of order! When they update the whole thing im gonna re-install the old skin.

I liked the old one but new one is cool too.

It's nice, I'd say it's better than the previous version since it makes things easier to manage and access. No problems yet.

I like it, but with my crappy computer it lags when i try to shift + tab, so i keep old one :D

This new one is weird to work with when using the old one for so long

Most problems are solved by logging out and logging back in.

It's pretty horrible, all they did is add more gradients. Never improved anything much(Or I haven't noticed yet.) The texts made it difficult for my eyes to focus on.
