More shots of Steam's new Library design thanks to a leak (updated)

Quoting: DribbleondoNot gotten it to work =/
The library just showed a blank window for me, until I realized I had put the steamui folder in the wrong spot. Once I put it where Liam said, it worked. ;-)

Of note is that they have eliminated the "Linux games" vs "All games" views. It was nice to see at a glance the counts (how much has my percentage of native games increased?), but that was already broken if you enabled Steam Play globally. Speaking of which, the messaging about the compatibility tool used is missing in this UI (i.e. "Proton 3.16-7 by Valve testing" or "Proton 4.2-5 set by you"). Hopefully they add that back in.

Another issue: if your list of collections/categories doesn't fit in the window, it just gets truncated in the menus (Add To..., Games->Your Collections - I can't see a bunch that are cut off at the top).

When looking at the details of a game, there's a little checkbox in the upper right corner, that says it will toggle a new header style, but when you click on it, it looks like it's to configure where the title gets placed on the game image, or something. Work in progress feature, I guess.

Quoting: BeamboomNowadays whenever I start the client it starts downloading shader pre-caching content for a lot of my games. Like, every single day. Mostly the same handful of titles too...
Do this happen to the rest of you too, and anyone know why?
Yes; it seems simply restarting Steam will cause it to want to re-download a bunch of shader caches it just downloaded.

Quoting: Alm888I am ashamed to admit, but it is "Pathologic 2" for me this weekend.
It is a shame this game is not available on Linux
It should be eventually (unless they back out on their promises):

AMD officially announce the "Zen 2" Ryzen 3 series & new RDNA GPU architecture + Intel tease new CPU

Quoting: chancho_zombieHopefully with Zen 2 I can turn all kernel CPU mitigations off.
If it's not affected, I'm sure the kernel code won't apply the mitigations. Most of them get skipped for AMD CPUs already.

Quoting: scaineI played a fair bit of Quern
I found Quern to have a very neatly designed layout/map. In the same genre is Haven Moon, which is much shorter, but I thought it was also well done.

Thanks for sharing! You didn't say what these were, and since I already have all of them, the keys should still be available, unless someone else snagged them: Punch Club, The Final Station, and Party Hard.
