Using WebKit and a super sweet new homepage == win. Totally digging the overhaul too. If they just fix some systray popups, I'll be happy. atm some of them are missing text, sometimes completely blank.

Yeah, they broke the text in the second beta update.

When they first revealed it everything worked perfectly. Then a day later they updated it again and now the in-game overlay is missing text and the popups are missing text. It's beta; I'm not going to worry.

Also, all of those rumors about a Mac OS X Steam seem pretty dumb. They included the three button icons that are used on OSX titlebars for minimizing, closing, etc. There's no reason to include these icons with applications because these are OS-controlled when you make OSX applications. They don't include a copy of those icons in every app made.

The reason for including those icons is simple. They're for a OSX-like skin for Windows. They have absolutely nothing to do with OSX itself.

Makes me happy. No longer have to switch OS if I want to play a quick game of TF2 or something. Hopefully the open GL performance will be respectable.

I saw that news a long time ago. :)

Still, those button images do not belong with an application. The only reason you'd ever need to include them is for a skin for Windows or something. They really just included those to hint at the Mac version and no technical reason.
