    Some interesting changes to the UI. I’ll have to look more into what else is new tomorrow

    Pinnable notes with adjusted transparency is pretty cool, especially for people who are on 1 monitor.

    I’ve been on the beta for a while and like it much more than the old design. It also comes with some improvements like the notes feature

    There does seem to be a lot of complaints over it but I like it so far. It definitely feels less sluggish for me in some areas than it used to.

    Wait a sec… was I chosen as a beta test case? Because I’ve had these features for at least a month. I thought they were already available to everyone.

      Probably you are in steam beta program, you can join from steam settings and leave anytime you want

    Looks great but I have some scaling issues on a 1440p screen, hope it gets fixed soon

      Yeah, same here. Apparently this has been an issue for quite some time, but it seems there has been a bit of progress lately. You can launch steam with a forcedesktopscaling arg to scale the ui like this:

      steam -forcedesktopscaling 1.25

      Some people in the github issue thread have reported issues like crashing and an oversized overlay though. See: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5908
