    Steam UI Beta Available

    <a href="http://images.totalgamingnetwork.com/images/Overlay.jpg"><img src="http://images.totalgamingnetwork.com/images/thumb_Overlay.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>

    In an effort to revolutionize your interactions with your games, Steam has rolled out an aggressive user interface redesign to its Beta participants. Among other changes, the Shift+Tab in-game overlay has been drastically redesigned.
    We've been working on a Steam UI update which will enhance the way you already buy and play games, adding more info about the things that matter — getting games, playing them with friends, and staying current in the gaming world. This new version of Steam will be released to all users in the coming weeks.

    Since its introduction in 2003, Steam has been centered around social gaming. But Steam users have rightly come to expect more than a simple social network alongside their games. The new Steam puts far more friend-related info at your fingertips.
    To find more information about the beta and how to participate, head over to Steam's site here.

      That's what I thought...

      And while I'm sure this works great with Valve games, I end up disabling the overlay by default. It was causing problems some games and the benefits didn't outweigh the asspains in my case.

        It came out day before yesterday?

        Though the idea has been out for years.

            Yeah. Like a month now. I swear there was a post on here about it then. Maybe it was Gamespy.

              Month minimum but i'm pretty sure I've had it closer to two. Maybe they just made it more public news yesterday. Possibly because they may be rolling over to it entirely soon?

                I had to disable the overlay while play BF2 via steam because I was getting kicked out in game by punkbuster.
