alt Hacker Newsthat early steam UI aesthetic has sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole...

a rabbit hole, at the end of which is an imgui theme, and me was^H^H^Hspending entirely too much time extracting actual fonts, color codes and other minuscule details.
what's better, i have absolutely no issue with that theme being my new default!

I love how stylised it is while remaining more responsive than the vast majority of websites today.
WIP: https://seidt.quest/s/dampf/
it uses a lightly modified @mori2003/jsimgui[1] and renders to webgpu. i can change that to webgl2 if anyone's browser fails because of that.
the fonts actual fonts appear to be tahoma and verdana. however, my imgui bindings couldn't bake the fonts at a specific size.
what i found interesting is running msiextract[2] on the above linked steam.msi revealed a TrackerScheme.res file with exact RGBA colors and layout configuration (borders, scrollbars, etc) for many widgets.
there's a lot left in there but i need to climb out of this hole for now. have fun!
