Eureka! Steam client tabbed chat! UPDATE!

UPDATE!

They guys at Steam listened to us users and added with today’s Steam Client update friends chat with automatic tabbed chat. While they were at it, they added tabbed browsing to the in-game overlay browser as well! The same hotkeys you use in Firefox/Internet Explorer to navigate tabs works in Steam too.

Enable the latest Steam Beta to access this highly desired feature – tabbed chat! Although it’s lacking few things like automatically open the incoming chat message as new tab or middle clicking to close the chat tab, I’m sure they will work on it asap.

Here’s the changelog:

7/23/2010

  • Tabbed user chat / web browser
  • Fixed unused game tags still showing up
  • New non-blocking game uninstall dialog
  • Improved client shutdown times

Steam Client UI Update to Release on Monday

steamuiupdate

After two months in beta and over twenty updates, the Steam Client UI Update is slated to release to all Steam users this coming Monday, April 26th.

The beta has been a huge success. The number of people who participated exceeded Valve’s expectations, and so far people created 25 thousand posts to the beta user forums. As a result of their participation, the Steam team has had the feedback required to make the new Steam client more reliable and useful than ever.

For those of you who’ve yet to join the beta, it’s not too late! By participating now, you’ll be updating your system to include Valve’s most recent developments. You’ll also minimize the amount of content required to download later, once the released version becomes available. And last but not least, you’ll be experiencing the future of Steam now, including dozens of new features, bug fixes and general improvements.

Regardless of whether you’ve chosen to opt into the beta, keep your eye out for the Steam client update on Monday, April 26th, when a brand new Steam is headed your way.
