Valve announced on Steam today, that the Steam Library overhaul is to get a public beta and it's only "weeks" away.
Posting on the Steamworks Development Steam Group, Valve is getting developers to come and update their store assets to match the new sizes of icons and more that will be available in the refresh. In this post, they said "We are weeks away from the public beta of this new feature set".
If you missed it, we managed to get a sneak-preview thanks to a leak which you can see a shot of below:
Are you looking forward to giving it a go? Let us know in the comments.

And is the list view still there?
Thanks, great to see filters by type, genre and the others.
What about sorting, the default seems to be alphabetical, is there sorting by user reviews, hours played, achievement completion etc.?

Anything Steam can do to improve either of their clients will be something I'll look forward to. I kinda like the big banner of the game there at the top more than the current faded one we have now (even if the one we have now might use a screenshot of ours). This one seems to make better use of the screen's space too, though fonts are still too small to read on my TV screen with any ease.
I'd like to see maybe a "tags" list, or perhaps the same pop-up we get when hovering over a title on the Store page. Sometimes I can't remember enough details about a game from just its name and a picture alone, but this is a minor nicety than any feature I feel is missing.

Nice, thanks a lot! Looks like I'll be getting into the beta when it's available. I really like the option to sort by release date and hours played, but notably missing is sorting by user score (instead of not-so-useful metacritic score) and by achievement completion. There are external tools allowing that (steamdb, astats) but it would be great to have them at hand.
Filtering by single/multi/coop is very handy too (they added the coop filter to big picture some time ago and I'm using it often on SteamOS). But I'd also like to see negative filters like "NOT multiplayer". :D

Quoting: WorMzyQuoting: devnullbut.... WHY? What about people who use custom skins?
I imagine they'll be unaffected. From what I can tell, this is just replacing the default skin.
I wouldn't be so certain... Just look at what Valve did with the new hideous, buggy chat system. I really hope custom skin support remains though.
