Steam Notifications Tray App

Steam notifications can be very important, but you normally have to open the application or log into your account from a web browser to check them, which is not always ideal.

Steam Notifications Tray App is an interesting desktop utility that can display the alert count in the system tray area and bring up the Steam notifications list with a single mouse click. It can display balloon notifications in the tray area.

This is a great application for users who frequently get notifications on Steam but don’t wish to open the client whenever they wish to perform a check. With this utility, you can view them in the tray area no matter what you are doing.

It is very easy to set things up, as you only need to provide your login credentials and a Steam Guard code. The program accesses your account without opening Steam, although you can open the Valve application by double-clicking the tray icon.

The refresh interval is set to 30 seconds initially, but you can set it to any value between 1 second and 1 day. What’s more, you can refresh the application manually at any time.

By default, any link you click is opened in your browser, but you can have the program open them in Steam instead. You can also disable balloon notifications and switch to single icon mode to view only the alerts count without the mail icon.

Steam Notifications Tray App allows you to specify which items should be displayed in the list you can bring up by clicking the tray icon. The default icon colors are fully customizable, as well as the popup menu background, border and separator colors.

In a nutshell, this application allows you to keep track of Steam notification without opening the client or using a web browser. It is very easy to configure and use, does its job well and can be customized extensively.
