Steam Desktop Update [Jun 15, 2023, 11:26 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Steam announces the rollout of a Steam Desktop Update with some significant
changes to the client. Under the hood, this features a new framework and
foundation to support quicker implementation of future changes and new features.
It also includes visibility and usability improvements, improved notifications,
a new in-game overlay, the new notes feature, and more. Also, macOS and Linux
hardware acceleration are now supported, making for a snappier experience.
This
trailer explains things further. Here's more:
New framework, new foundation
The most impactful changes in this update aren’t immediately visible; much of the work went into changing how we share code across the Steam Desktop Client, Big Picture mode, and Steam Deck. These changes also means quicker implementation and iteration of new features. For example, many of the features in this update (like Notes in the overlay) are simultaneously shipping on Steam Deck because of the shared codebase.
Steam gets a fresh coat of paint
This update also brings targeted visual and usability improvements across Steam - we've gone through and updated dialogs, menus, fonts, and colors. The main Steam header and footer, Settings, and the Screenshot Manager are just a few examples of spots with refreshed UI.

While I'm sad that I've lost the skin I've been using for over a decade the update seems mostly okay. It doesn't seem to remember the tab you were on when you close it anymore though so any time I open it up from the tray it goes to the store instead of back to my library. I assume most of the problems will be ironed out over time and so long as it doesn't get in my way I don't mind much.
Under settings - Interface - Start Up Location - > There will be multiple options, you can choose to start on library, among other options...there. Hope that helps.
