      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.

          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.

        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.

        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

        Apparently official skin support no longer exists but Millennium for Steam looks like an unofficial tool that can be used for skins.

    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 grew up with XP as well, and while I’m still nostalgic for it, it just feels kinda flat compared to the vista/7 aero theme. Not really boring, but not as interesting as aero imo. Still a vibe though.

          You guys are circling around the answer

          Aero looks, better menus (I refuse to believe nested drop downs are peak layout, but ribbon stuff looks pretty, at the cost of useful organization)

          And finally, make it look good in dark mode. We aren’t a print-first culture anymore, and I prefer my retinas intact

      No, you don’t.

      You miss who you were when everything looked like this.

      You were young, you were discovering the internet like a new frontier, every new app you tried or new album you found or new comedy website was like discovering a new country. You could while away hours without responsibility or care or trauma, or at least nearly as much. You were not cynical and jaded yet.

      Nostalgia isn’t a longing for when things were simpler, it is a longing for when you were simpler.

        Yes. I understand that and I’m well aware of what you’re describing, that is why I said I try not to let my nostalgia get the better of me.

        I’m saying I enjoy this aesthetic mainly for nostalgic reasons. I am not necessarily saying this is superior to current aesthetics. I do miss this era, yes, and you are correct that is more about me than the aesthetic itself.

        That doesn’t mean this isn’t beautiful or pleasant in some way, and I don’t think it’s wrong to enjoy or explore older aesthetics even if it’s out of nostalgia.

        I realize the way my comment was worded made it seem like a comment about the era rather than the aesthetic.

        Edit: contradicted myself there. Sorry, it’s kinda hard to get a consistent thought out on mobile.

        They’re still out there technically, but they get jankier every year. The new UI they released… last year? put the nail in the coffin for a lot of the fancy ones, but there are still options out there to skin your Steam UI.

    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…
