Recently, some images 'leaked' in a Steam update that showed off a shiny new look for the Steam client and Valve have confirmed it is being worked on. Thanks to SteamDB for noticing and putting the images up.

What they said:
The Steam client is in need of an overhaul, as it's old and lacking in so many areas. Hopefully we will see something come of this, as I actually really like that design. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Maybe they'll get that improvement in where, when in multiplayer, you can filter your friends list to only show the people that own the game.

I hope they will get the Steam client to be capable of Hi-DPI. It really sucks the way it is now. Also the available "hi-dpi-themes" out there are far from good. Until then: Lutris it is!

Just let me be able to read the desktop client on my TV, Valve. That's all I ask.

More sorting options is what I'd really like to see. For example sorting by user reviews or by achievement completion percentage.
Oh, and being able to download the soundtrack and/or extras without downloading the whole game (esp. a Windows-only game) would be awesome.

So.. Is there a being on this planet who isn't using small mode? Hope it won't be removed. The client is bloatware enough already.

Quoting: LeopardThat leak happened a month ago.Your point being? The video is from only a few days ago, which gives the leak some extra merit.

I've talked about these images actually,not this video.Since then everybody was aware that Steam is on to some changes.

We often cover news after it has happened to wait and see if anything else comes of it.
Unhelpful "this is from x ago!" comments don't provide anything to the conversation, and only serve to annoy me and the other editors.

Wow,i think that place is only reserved for praises which you call them "helpful".So if writing "that's wonderful news" is helpful,so be it.
I guess you should learn to check your temper and being honest.You're not calm,which is obvious.By the way,i think you should tinker quote mess GoL has.This became a very "helpful" comment i guess.
Look,i love this site and people in it;even i had some argues.But as the head of this site,you should check your attitude.If i'm being silly,then don't fall to silly level,ok?If my comment was not helpful then don't mind,which you should do in first place if you really think this is unhelpful.
