@Boabab Thanks for the suggestions! I am well aware of these options for years (but appreciate the suggestions nonetheless): https://gist.github.com/davispuh/6600880

The Mini mode is very limited and won't stay mini and switches back to normal when doing anything else than starting a game. no browser mode will also break a lot of functionality of Steam. So these options aren't what I am looking for (have tried them in the past). But overall I am fine with it at the moment. Just mentioned above suggestions to reduce some load for older systems, without losing functionality.

I wish the UI itself would be open source, that connects to the proprietary Steam service. That would be acceptable. It would allow us to write any user interface we need or want (like 100% CLI only ui, I don't mean just starting a game with a shortcut, I would love that).
