    I just realised this. What the hell happened to the steam working icon? When you've got steam minimised to your whatever-you-call-it bar on the lower right In the past if you were downloading a game the symbol would be slightly different. You would know at a glance whether your download was done or not. Is this a bug or has steam lost a small but convenient feature?

    Realised this after I saw that Ori QL and immediately felt the need to buy that game. Also a side effect of that QL made me realise how many comma splices I've probably started using even while I used to write with impeccable grammar.

    I think it now glows a slightly different color when you are downloading something. Either that or I'm crazy. The old way was certainly better, but I guess it doesn't fit into their new icon design.
