Excellent point guys, thank you for your input :)

@PieMonster Done...steamworks logo can be enabled or disabled by click on an eyeball ;)

@ Kexikus good advice, thanks :) the official steam logo have an slight offset so i've done the same, but i overlooked how will that look with extra text under...and as more i started to work on template, more i've looked at it, i've stoped noticing small errors on it. the text is now center aligned with logo on box spine and disk plates :)

hehehehehe sure, no problem :)

ok, so this is SteamWorks layer on/off like @PieMonster asked for
Front of DVD box:
StemaWorks off
Image

StemaWorks on
Image

Same layer turn on and off logo on the spine...if the layer is off, logo is hidden on front and spine:
Image Image

SteamWorks layer on disc plate share design with other platforms (Uplay and GfW)...when it's off, Steam is dominant logo...
Image
Image

and now for the rest :)
@ Kexikus had an excellent perception that steam logo wasn't centered on the spine (and on other templates where it's shown in that manner)...that is fixed now on all templates (DVD Spine, DVD Insert, Disc Plates, Jewel Case Front and Jewel Case Multi)

Example of DVD spine:
Image

...and also told me about discussion here on forum for the direction of Jewel Case sides...that is now fixed so they are going in same direction...example shown with SteamWorks layer off and on:
Image

...and since I was never to happy about steam only faded boxes design, it looked a bit cluttered, i thought maybe those steamworks boxes would be better, more subtle...so this is how it looks:
Image
Image
Image
Image

That would be the changes I've done earlier, and sw boxes I've done like 15 minutes ago :) ...and would like to thank both of you guys, PieMonster and Kexikus, for helping me make this template :)

@Nephilim983, I think they all look great! Only 1 thing sticks out to me.

Your 3 squares SteamWorks top seems to work best since that is part of the SteamWorks logo. Maybe you should go with that one (instead of the one with many boxes).

For the general Steam top maybe you should leave it blank. It's really hard to choose this one because technically it should be the Steam logo on the right but that makes it kind of redundant (since it's already on the left).

Any other opinions?

@PieMonster I agree, i like only 3 boxes more than the previous design...and if we don't put anything on Steam front:
Image

I personally like 3 boxes, but this clean bar design is also good :D

I think I agree with PieMonster. It looks better without the 3 boxes for non-Steamworks games.
