Valve To Overhaul for Steam GUI
We've all been accustomed to Valve's Steam layout (GUI) for many years now and little has changed. Well, that is about to change as over at GDC Valve has announced with is going to overhaul the GUI.
Not just the GUI (graphics user interface) though, also you are going to notice something called Steam Events. The game library is set to prioritize games that you play often, giving a featured slot to the game you most recently played. With new competition in the likes from EPIC store, and names like Uplay, Origin, GoG, Humble steam is losing market share and needs to step thing up.
Valve mentions that players can run their games quickly and efficiently. The library home page will also retrieve news and thus that events carousel dedicated to updates and events. Events will be of interest towards esports aficionados as there is an option for developers to enable live streams of events (like esports tournaments). Have a peek below and click the thumbnails to check and preview the new layout.

Have they got a defrag feature? Steam fragments sooooo easily, like the software is 16-bit and I'm using a floppy disk.
TBF, it really needs it. It manages to be ugly and slow at the same time.
Big Picture is a bit better, but that is still slow and buggy, so only a 33% win.
It's the same scenario with NVCP, it's old, slow and ugly to look at, but alot of people are abit rain man and can't handle change so push back against improvement.
So, you think it's better to have nvidia geforce experience capturing all of your data, do you?
You think Epic is bad; geforce experience does things that Epic have wet dreams about.

I couldn't care less, but who mentioned GFE, it's a separate thing from NVCP, not a replacement.
The point was like Steam, it also has a dated GUI that is very slow.

They didn't (go with the origin look) it's nothing like Origin. Origin doesn't have a small mode, or an easy to navigate interface. It's still simple if you want it to be, just don't use the new options, simple.
