In addition, the ability to pin windows from the Steam interface has been added so that they can be displayed on top of the game in the game.

CTOnews.com with official update notes on Steam:

New Framework, New Foundation some of the most influential changes in this update are not immediately visible; many efforts are focused on changing the way we share code between Steam desktop clients, large-screen mode, and Steam Deck. These changes also mean that new features will be implemented and iterated faster. For example, due to code base sharing, many of the features in this update, such as "notes" in the interface, will be released synchronously on Steam Deck.

Steam reinstalled this update has also brought targeted visual and usability improvements to the entire Steam-we have checked and updated dialogs, menus, fonts and colors. The Steam main header and footer, settings, and screenshot manager all have updated UI, and the updates are much more than that.

Richer and more practical notifications Steam notifications have been updated and improved to become more practical. The green bell lights up only when there is real new information. The pallet view is limited to new notifications, and there is also a View all page that displays historical notifications. We have also added new notification detail settings that allow you to control which notifications you see and where you see them.

Redesigned the in-game interface we completely recreated the in-game interface (accessible through Shift+Tab in the game). In-game interface has a new user interface, and added more practical tools, so that your customization can be further. The new toolbar gives you access to any function you need in the game: friend chat, achievement progress, guides, discussions, browsers, and so on.

We have selected several default display windows, and you can also pick and customize what you want to see in your own interface-all games can customize different display windows.

The grand launch of the new note-taking function allows you to take notes on the game you are playing. This feature has rich text formatting options, you can paste pictures, and you can record multiple notes per game, even in offline mode. Notes will be saved by game and will be synchronized to other PC (or Steam Deck) where you are logged in! ). In addition to the Steam interface, it can also be accessed on the game details page.

We have also added the ability to pin windows from the Steam interface so that they can be displayed on top of the game in the game. The opacity level of these windows is adjustable, and only the contents of the window are pinned-not including the title bar and other unrelated user interfaces. This new feature can be used to access notes, guides, discussions, achievements, and web browsers. This function is very suitable for recording progress or viewing guides while playing games, as well as for players with three heads and six arms to watch movies while playing games.

There's more. That's not all! The interface now includes a Game Overview panel that allows you to see what has happened since the last time you played the game in one place. Here will show what you are achieving, which friends are also playing, hot guides, news, and so on. In addition, the browser, Achievement, and Screenshot Manager windows have been updated in the in-game interface and in the desktop client.

The controller experience has also been improved. After connecting the handle, the in-game interface now contains the updated controller configurator in Steam Deck, and virtual menus can now be used when playing in the desktop client.

Through the technical efforts made in this update, Mac and Linux can now enable hardware acceleration for the Mac and Linux versions of Steam, making both versions of Steam as powerful as the Windows version. You should see smoother animation and scrolling effects as well as more sensitive UI.
