I released Pressure² late last night (AEST) and there has obviously been a lot of ...discussion... about it. 17 pages and counting. I'd like to address a lot of your queries and concerns, explain a bit more from my perspective, and get some things cleared up.

...but that's ok. I expected it. In fact, read this announcements with my thoughts on Pressure²: Pressure² Information

This sums it up:

Dirt Diglett a écrit :

What it isn't.
Pressure² isn't Pressure. They will be two hugely different skins and I can almost guarantee that a huge portion of Pressure fans will NOT like Pressure². Why? because it is so so so radically different from Pressure. It will not be a fully dark skin, it will be quite vibrant and light and the aesthetic being so much more professional I am certain there will be a big divide of the fans. It will not be hugely compressed visually and it quite spread out.

But at the end of the day, I made the skin that I wanted to use, and released it. You're not required to like it. I'm not forcing you to use it. I appreciate and welcome any constructive criticism, but just telling me "it's ♥♥♥♥" "ugly." doesn't achieve anything, just puts a bit of a downer on me.

170+ comments, reddit messages, and steam messages... I get it, you want a dark theme, you don't like the light theme.

I never intended Pressure² to be anything but what it is now, and I'm not promising a dark theme for it nor am I taking that option off the table, I need to think on it further. What I will promise is that "Pressure Classic" is going to begin development now, and it will be dark, it will be a good blend of Pressure1 and Pressure² - and this one is for you guys, I personally won't ever use it, but I'm going to do it for you.

Pressure Classic will replace the original Pressure when it's complete, and this is what those of you who are after a dark theme will want. This will be developed openly so you can provide feedback on it as it is being developed.

Thankyou to everybody reporting issues to GitHub, I appreciate it and will fix them ASAP.

After much secrecy, I am proud to announce the first public release of Pressure². It has taken me since August to complete, 44000+ lines of custom code, and countless hours, but I am very happy with how it has turned out.

What is Pressure²?
Pressure² is a blend of beauty and function. Every part of Steam has been carefully considered and reworked to create the most fluid and wonderful experience possible, by blending Google's Material Design concepts with added flair Steam can finally sit at the adult table and stop sticking crayons up its nose.

Install Pressure².[www.pressureforsteam.com]

This is the first public release of Pressure², I have invested a huge number of hours building this theme from the ground up to produce the absolute best theme possible. To my knowledge, every single file has been themed in Pressure² to produce a consistent gorgeous experience.

This release is a minor release to resolve issues with the new "Add a phone number" reminder bar, and changes the font used to resolve issues with words containing "ffi" that some users experience.

• Adds support for the new Phone Number reminder bar.
  
• Replaces Noto Sans font with Google's Roboto font, this resolves issues with typing words with "ffi" in them.
  
• Added the System Information option to the main menu.
  
• Minor tweaks to the Downloads Page

I have also created a new branch of the skin for use exclusively with the Steam Beta. This will ensure that there aren't conflicting issues between the Stable Steam releases and Beta. View it here: https://github.com/DirtDiglett/Pressure-for-Steam/tree/Steam-Client-Beta


Progress is coming along nicely for Pressure², but I won't be releasing any further information about it until it's ready. I can guarantee there will not be a year-long beta test period like Pressure and most of Pressure² is done already.
