I haven't logged onto Steam for four months, ever since the awful new library. So I finally decided to try out Galaxy, specifically to access my Steam games with a non-dire UI. I set it to List View, as that was always my preferred view, and I mostly like it. One thing I'd like though, is different font colours for uninstalled games. In the old Steam library List View, a game would have its title in white if it was installed, and a grey if it wasn't. It made it super easy to tell at a glance what games were installed and what weren't. While GOG Galaxy has the option to filter only installed titles like the new Steam library, I find that less useful when scrolling through my library.
Other comments and questions: first, one thing I don't like is the top bar, with back/forward, the filters, ect., being transparent. I think it just looks kinda hideous. Is there an option to change that? Second, as long as I install GOG games through the non-Galaxy installers and don't have it scan for folders, Galaxy shouldn't go about messing with my GOG games, right? As weird as it is, I don't actually want Galaxy to be involved with my GOG games, I much prefer installing them from the downloaders and using shortcuts. My already installed games seem fine, will future games be? And finally, is it possible to add 'uninstall' to the right-click options, and disable being taken to the weird game page when clicking on an entry? I never liked the Detail View from Steam and hiding options there is a little annoying.
