What kind of soulless psychopath leaves a window of this size unmaximized is the real question here. Also, a horizontal scrollbar in the main section, able to scroll maybe 8 pixels total to see some more of the glorious empty padding, could have been a nice touch as a consequence of the “unintended” window size.
I loved this theme! I remember upgrading from XP to Vista Aero (later win7) and being blown away! Aero based themes are still my favorite. Windows 8 and 10 looked cheap and boring.
Fucking Steam always getting shittier with each update! Why can’t they be better like Microsoft’s XBox Store or DRM free like Epic Games?!
Comment from the alternate timeline
Oh fuck. We need themes on steam client
You can. They are called skins though.
Apparently official skin support no longer exists but Millennium for Steam looks like an unofficial tool that can be used for skins.
I think I speak for everyone when I say
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I don’t get it. /g
I believe it’s a fantasy/for funsies mock-up of what the gaming store/launcher application Steam maybe could have looked like if it was done in a style similar to Windows 7’s styling and other computer applications and websites during that era. Looks like maybe MySpace and Windows Live Messenger may have been some inspiration
I hope that helps. I may be leaving stuff out or wording things oddly since I’m pretty brain foggy due to health issues, but no one had answered ya (that I can see) and I wanted to try to help ya out 😅
Thank you very much for willing to help, I hope you’re okay! 🤗
P.S.: I’ve seen your other comments (forgive me if that bothers you) and I would like to say that you’re an amazing person! I like how you always treat others with respect and kindness, this world surely needs more people like you! Please don’t forget to take care of yourself and remember that you’re loved! 👋
Can we return to Aero? Is that too much to ask?
I’ve been long enough on this place that I know you can get similar effects on Linux
(not mine, found on image search)
It’s pretty easy! This is my desktop right now. I do like it a liiitle less gaudy and my mac use at work means that I prefer my window controls on the left instead of the right.
first screenshot doesn’t look like aero at all tbh. second one more so. this is the most accurate port I know of tho https://gitgud.io/wackyideas/aerothemeplasma
This is the kind of thing I had in mind!
Aero is more than just the blur effect, modern OS’s still have that in spades.
i want to install plasma just for this now
