Are you using a skin? I am, and I don't see it.

Yep, turned off skin and there it is.

Reminded how ugly the regular Steam skin is compared to PixelVision. Ugh.

Compact beats everything!

The screenshots are slightly outdated though.

I'm a PixelVision person. Compact doesn't quite do it for me.

I tried minimal before finding compact. There were a few little things I didn't like.

I'll maybe try it again though!

It took me 5-10 mins to get back from it to original Steam, just with edited bigger font.

If it's not there, right click Steam in your task bar, and choose Big Picture.

i have this one and it’s amazing for htpc use. i don’t have steam installed on the htpc though and don’t expect it to be very good for gaming. great for typing and mousing around to play media though!

The button should be there by default o.o Maybe you haven't updated your Steam or something.

Happened with me yesterday, had the 2nd September 2012 build i don't know why!
Just delete every thing except "steam.exe" and "steamapps" and open steam.

Haven't tried plugging in the old PS2 controller yet, but the layout looks nice enough.

you gotta update your steam, get the beta-update because there's no button yet in the "stable" version
