Steam Client Mac Feature Request

djtripd · 02-18-2012, 11:08 AM

I'd love to see the new Mac OS 10.7 full screen support come to the Steam client. It would be really handy to put the Steam client into another "space" while downloading a large game so I can work on something else but swipe over to check it's progress or even see who's online.

Anyone else wish this feature would come to Steam for Mac?

Not really, steam for mac is somewhat unstable, you'd be crazy to want something like that in full screen and then have it crash on you.

Not sure why having a full screen app crashing on you be much worse than it crashing in normal window mode.

Anyways, while I'm using a 27" system, so that fullscreen option hasn't be much used by myself, I do feel that Steam could make use of more integration into OSX, like the full screen support. Also, support for Growl and the coming built-in notifications would be really nice.

They need to fix steam before they do anymore integration.
