Can’t even get HL3 on an alternate timeline.
We might be living in the timeline that gets HL3. A recent leak from a VA’s resume suggests that it might be in development.
Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.
Wasn’t Alyx HL3?
It was a prequel.
Rumor has it that HL3 or some other single player HL game is currently in the works!
Well of course it’s a timeline, it’s the timeline of hell.
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
Skip aero. Let’s go back to compiz fusion and deskcubes.
Have a look at Wayfire. It’s a Wayland compositor that implements a lot of the compiz effects/plugins. I recently found that but haven’t tried it myself as I don’t really care about wobbly windows and cubes as much as I did 15+ years ago when I first tried compiz as a teenager :D
I’m rocking a desktop octagon with two monitors with all the fancy window animations on and still using less ram that windows on idle lol.
New KDE brought the cube back!
I think I speak for everyone when I say
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
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.
Yeah, I used to mess about with it but it became too much because Steam updates so damn much.
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
Crazy how Microsoft sold of their XBox brand to Sega, conserding that this single handetly made Sega the biggest video gaming company world wide!
Nightmare fuel
Can you do one of these for Windows 3.1 or 95? That would be sweet!
Honestly, I hate steam (the client) so much. I have a fair sized library of games that I never play because it’s just torture to me to start that abomination of a program. Why the fuck couldn’t they give it a simple, clean, elegant, native UI that doesn’t treat my battery with wanton disrespect?
Have a look at Playnite, it might be a better fit for you, also includes other stores.
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’m sure they didn’t think of the window police.
I hate this. I’m pretty sure this gave me PTSD somehow.
I love how all the reactions to this are either “I love this” and “this is cursed beyond belief”
I personally would get a kick out of this as a skin for occasional use…
Oh man, that formatting nostalgia hit.
I think Trinity Desktop Environment looks very similar to this.
I don’t think that those three buttons would be in the statusbar. “Add a Game” would be in the sidepane “Games”, “Manage Downloads” and “Friends and Chat” would be a view (in the sidepane) instead of a button.
but overall, a damn beautiful interface :)
Frutiger Aero from Windows Vista and 7 was the peak of UI design.
It was so much more welcoming and fun. Sure it sucks at scalability but that’s easily resolved with proper vector graphics.
A better timeline?Windows UI design peaked with Windows 98 and Unix UI design peaked with IRIX imo
Back when they had consistent style guidelines to follow (I remember reading them, along with deep descriptions of how PnP actually works - yuck!).
Now they just throw shit at the wall it seems
