Even before, not installed titles were darkened, so even if you had to scroll, the installed items stood out. That's how I keep my view most of the time, anyway.

True, but I didn't like them cluttering up the view. So I categorized them into Uninstalled and collapsed the group.

Nah, I like them being in alphabetical order just fine. My friend on the other hand likes categories; he even has one called something along the lines of "Hyper Faggy and Turbo Gay." No, I'm not sure why he has that.

The main pain with Steam Categories is that they're stored locally, so I've had my categories get wiped when certain Steam updates happened. And you can't do any sort of bulk edit without a third party program.

Actually, you can bulk set categories within Steam now.

I hope your friend is just gay himself with a huge sense of irony or something.

TURBOGAY would be an awesome queercore band name though.
