- Create a rectangle (it'll be our "sidebar", in this case, 720*320px is my standard resolution)
- Apply a 30px gaussian blur to your background (top menu: Filter - Blur - Gaussian Blur) and place it above the rectangle.
- Right click the blurred background from the layers page and choose "create clipping mask".
- Create an exact copy of the rectangle, place it on above all the layers and give it a white color, give a 10% opacity and from the blending modes, select "Exclusion".
- Make a third rectangle, place it on the top and give an opacity of 60% or 80%, and blending mode "normal"; give it the color you want.
- The last layer is the "noise". To do it, just search on Google "Photoshop noise", download and import it on your project and give an opacity of 2%.

They definetly should, the current design of Steam leaves much to be desired.

Indeed, plus they barely changed the look of Steam.
It honestly look dated.
