and somehow it’s still one of the least shitty feeling megacorp websites
Would it really be better to have as few unique bits as possible? I think that it’s great to be able to tell at a glance what part of Steam you’re on. It’s a program with many features. Then again, you can still use Big Picture Mode if you really want to dumb it down.
Also the things related to one thing are mostly the same like buy and add to cart
If you told me SteamOS is them giving up on fixing desktop Steam and starting over from the hardware up I’d believe you.
The profile page alone is horrific. A single interface designer each week wakes up in cold sweats having dreamt of it and not knowing what they just saw.
Some woman did a YouTube vid on this and how she would unify the design. This is a mess
Juxtapposed. She’s done videos on a lot of popular apps. I don’t agree with a lot of decisions she makes, but her comments seem to love it
What decisions you don’t agree with? It’s just fun to watch UX ideas :)
They are fun to watch, but surely you don’t agree with every change she makes either
Don’t call me surely
U can make any ui look like dogshit if you do this lol
you’d expect them to reuse at least some UI elements
If all the buttons and menus all looked the same wouldn’t it be a lot harder to find what you’re looking for? Wouldn’t you want some things to stand out, especially if that’s what your users are used to?
it just works, its annoying at first, but nothing really changes, you learn something once and you’re set
This is the thing UI designers never understand[0] - if you keep changing shit around, nobody will ever figure out how to use it. If you keep it consistent and don’t make dramatic changes, users will have a much easier time using it because they don’t have to keep relearning the damn thing. Consistency is the most effective UI paradigm.
[0] or to put it in better terms, they’re paid to not understand this so they can justify their jobs…
Makes me wonder: Can you still mod the UI? Like back when it was still the OG green UI, you could customize it with skins. You can’t still do that with the modern UI can you? 🤔
One of those is bound to tickle your fancy
I hate how Steam has bloated over time.
It’s designed as if it was still on Windows 7
At least I know exactly where I am, just by how the menu looks
Awful UI with awful colour scheme. I still love my Steam Deck though
