Steam has now officially added a host of handy new features to its client, following earlier beta testing.
This update sees the arrival of a redesigned in-game overlay, complete with new features, a notes function, pinnable in-game windows and improvements to notifications.
The ability to pin windows from the overlay means they appear on top of a game while you are still playing. This feature, the company has said, is available for Notes, Guides, Discussions, Achievements, and the web browser, so is ideal for those « multi-tasking maniacs who love to have a movie on in the background while they game ».
The pinned overlay’s opacity can be adjusted, and only the contents of the window will be pinned, « excluding the title bar and other extraneous UI ».
You can see an example of how this looks below.
