[APP][Holofication Nation] Material Steam Modification

Holofication Nation released a holo modfication to the official Steam app on the Play Store. The official Steam app hadn't been

updated in quite a while, and now it's got to the point where it's been three years since the last update of the official application.

Holofication Nation modifies applications so that they follow the most up to date design guidelines for Android, and as per usual, we've done it again.

What is this?

This App is a modification to the official app from Valve on the Play Store. This mod completely changes the user interface from the ugly interface

that is currently in use, to a more pleasing interface known as "Material design". The visuals of this app follow the Android design guidelines as closely as it

possibly can without having to recode the entire app.



As well as this app being a visual update, the app also comes with speed increases, stability and general smoothness all the way throughout the app.



A closer look

The standard app uses images for the text input box, send button and many more features of the app; using images for assets such as this contribute

to slowing down the speed of the app due to there being more files to read from. I have removed the need for many images in this app by moving the assets

from using images to using official Android code (Assets such as chat text input and the send button).



Every single visual asset of this app has been changed and rebuilt using the Android guidelines. The action bar is no longer an ugly bar with diagonal pin stripes

with a gradient overlay, it's now a single colour Android toolbar. The chat bubbles are no longer obnoxious low quality bubbles, they're now high quality boxes

similar to that of the boxes used for Hangouts. All these visual changes and more in the app.



On the official app, scrolling through web pages (such as people's profiles) was painful, scrolling would take forever with a huge noticeable lag on every scroll,

making tasks such as viewing your games list unbearable.
