Steam's taskbar menus still have the old chat statuses (Online/Away/Busy/Offline)
Hi there,

The new Steam Chat implementation is in the stable Steam Client now; however, it's bothered me that there are still a few UI elements in Steam which should have been updated for the new chat system, which were never actually updated.

The most obvious things that stick out to me are the chat status entries that can be enabled in Steam's system tray notification area icon menu and its taskbar jump list menu. These menus (along with the settings window for choosing which items show up in them) still have status options from the old chat system (Online/Away/Busy/Offline, rather than Online/Invisible/Away).

I'm pretty sure this is an oversight, since I would imagine that most people haven't gone to the trouble to enable those menu items in the settings, and so most people won't have noticed that they were outdated and don't match the new chat statuses.

Here's a diagram I created showing the UI elements that still contain the old chat statuses, with a little bit more explanation in the description:

Thanks.
