Want to hide the "Steam Replay" and "What's New" shelves? Read here!

• UPDATE: 2nd February, 2023 •

After today's Steam client update, this fix only blocks the Steam Replay section.
In what I find to be a rather out-of-the-blue and somewhat suspicious decision, Valve decided to update the UI and override certain Skin configurations.

I assure you this can reverted being that the Steam client is based on a modified web browser engine. Being that I don't have a lot of free time, someone will most likely come up with a solution quicker then myself.

Until then the best thing to do is each and everyone of you to contact Valve support and voice your disapproval with the new client changes. Keep it short and to the point but above all, keep it polite. Remember, Valve support staff are individuals behind a desk and not the ones making the changes but they can pass on this feedback to the devs.

I found a work around for annoyances like the "Steam Replay" and the "What's New" shelf feature in the games library.
I found intrusive them intrusive and with no option to hide either despite reaching out to Valve support.

So I will try and make these instructions nice and easy to follow.
If something isn't clear post a message and I'll try an assist.

First make sure Steam is not running.
Open file explorer and navigate to the Steam folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
Make a new folder in the skins and name it something,
I named mine NoAnnoyances.
If you don't see the skins folder, make it.
Copy (not cut) the resource folder into this new folder.

You should now have something like this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\skins\resource
Find the file webkit.css inside the new resource folder and open it.
I use Notepad++.
Paste the following in at the top:

[class*="libraryhome_UpdatesContainer"] {display: none !important;} [class*="profile_customization_block replay_showcase_block preview"] {display: none !important;}
If you dislike the "Whats New" shelf at the top of your games library then also add this:

[class*="libraryhome_UpdatesContainer"] {display: none !important;}
Your file will now look something like this:

[class*="libraryhome_UpdatesContainer"] {display: none !important;} [class*="profile_customization_block replay_showcase_block preview"] {display: none !important;} [class*="profile_customization replay_showcase"] {display: none !important;} ::-webkit-scrollbar { height: 12px; width: 12px; background: transparent; z-index: 12; overflow: visible; } ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb { width: 4px; min-height: 32px; border: 3px solid transparent; border-radius: 10px; z-index: 12; background-image: none; background-color: rgba( 67, 73, 83, 1 ); background-clip: padding-box; transition: background-color .32s ease-in-out; // margin: 4px; // min-width: 32px; } ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover { background-color: rgb(96, 103, 116); background-clip: padding-box; } ::-webkit-scrollbar-corner { background: #202020; background-color: rgb(67, 73, 83); } ::-webkit-scrollbar-track, ::-webkit-scrollbar-button { display: none; }
Save the file.
Load Steam. Goto Settings -> Interface.
Third dropbox down will read < default skin >
Select it and change it, you'll see the skin folder you made.
Hit ok to close the window and then restart Steam.

And your all done.

The old classic company tactic, "I know what you want even if you don't".

I use Windows LTSC instead of the bloated regular edition.
I stopped using Firefox years ago when it became bloated with useless and/or pointless features, Mozilla thought they knew better. I switched over to Waterfox and have never looked back.

I find it amusing and concerning that Valve would implement a feature without the simple function to hide or disable it. The first was with the Whats New shelf and now again with this Steam Replay.

Over the past 4 years I have tried to argue my point with Steam Support but they continue to give me the same answer that when translated to the end consumer simply says, "No. Were not interested and were too busy."

Yes, it's intrusive, at start it was a choice, now it's forced. It's this intrusive side that bothers me. I feel it as some kind of abuse. Please let me choose, that's all I ask, more choice! Let me feel free here, I want to be a (Gordon) Freeman!

Thank you Wildfire for this hotfix, I will try it. I would also like to resize or remove some parts of the library, I'll see what I can do based on your instructions.

Funny thing is im seeing new posts of people asking how to remove it or prevent the pop-up, raging at the devs and stressing out.

If only they used the topic search function ;)

Is there also a way to remove the blue "add showcase" thing if you ran out of showcases that dont appear when empty?

Do you have a screenshot as an example?

If you get to a level on profile that allows a new showcase, you get "notified" to choose one, in blue.
So you either have that notification all the time, or you choose a showcase. And not all showcases allow to be invisible because nothing is in them.

Jesus christ, I swear Valve is run by a bunch of monkeys.

The reason I asked for a screenshot as an example is that I need to see what and where in the page im looking for reference being as there's a lot of code to go though.

I can not remove showcases to get to that notification. Its shown when no showcase is chosen, but you can choose one.

Okay, try adding this to the webkit.css file.

[class*="customization_edit_instructions"] {
display: none !important;
}

The message wasnt visible because of analysis, but quoting helped.

Did it solve your notification? For me it will take a while before i see it next time.

I was just reformatting my original post, making it a little easier to follow.

And yes it removed a notification about adding a showcase.
