Steam Library Custom Asset Thread

zetsubou · Oct 30, 2019

With the new Steam Library UI you can add custom assets for box arts and logos and banners for games (granted you could add grid icons in the old UI). For non Steam games, it leaves you with boring old nothing. So why not spruce them up with some custom images? Much in the vein of the custom cover art thread, I'd like to use this as a place for people to upload custom assets that they've made for their Steam libraries as well as for people to request assets for games that may not have any.

I'll try to keep the main post updated if anyone posts assets.

To get things started, I've made a few for a couple of roms in my library: Persona Q, Persona Q 2, and Persona 4 (which you can find in this here dropbox)

Persona Q and Q2

Persona 4

Good idea, and good job on those custom assets, OP.

This might be time consuming, but I'll gladly put some work for my favorite games.

Thanks for the thread, I'll see if I can contribute something later on! :)

What is logos referring to here? Are those the smaller icons in the list to the left?

In the game details page, without the logo, it has the game's name as text. So in the ones that I did, it would just say "Persona 4" instead of showing the logo.

Oh, right. I see.

So it's text by default but you can replace it with a logo.

Correct.

Remember that non-steam games are still going to need an old style 460x215 grid cover, which is used when the game is displayed as the most recently played game in the Home section.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)

600x900 cover
460x215 cover
Background
Logo

Also, Alone in the dark (2009) has been updated on steam but it's been done quite poorly, with a low quality background and a font that's taken from the old games instead of reusing the one that actually matches the game, so here's a fix:

600x900 cover
Background
Logo

Metro 2033 (2010) exists on Steam but it has been delisted, so it's probably never going to be updated for the new library:

600x900 cover
Background
Logo

Same for Metro: Last Light (2013):

600x900 cover
Background
Logo

If anyone is interested in making their own assets, here's the official asset information.

I made a few new 1280x720 logos for some games missing them. As long as high resolution assets exist, this is extremely easy for anyone to do.

I'll probably make some more, and possibly try making some backgrounds in the future.

Logo (1280 x 720px)

Great thread, bookmarked.
I wish there was a program to help automatize all that, that gave you asset options from a repository of something and to easily install them.

Lashley · Oct 31, 2019

Would love some for RDR2

Morrigan · Oct 31, 2019

Anyone got them for Shadow Warriors 2? I have the GOG version

Thanks, added that to the main post.

Glad this is off to a good start...

daninthemix · Oct 31, 2019

Is there any way I can revert to have the client display the 465x200 grid images as before? I preferred them.

zetsubou · Oct 31, 2019

does anyone know how to add the grid images aside from having to launch the game?

KKRT · Oct 31, 2019

I will probably never understand why people make screenshots with phones on PC. Why?

I prefer that too. Way cleaner. The new look is way messy

BraXzy · Oct 31, 2019

For the Grid view that I'm using, I found out you can have ANIMATED cards! Which looks amazing... I'm hoping someone does a bunch.

Here's one for Dota 2 for example:

Dimajjio · Oct 31, 2019

So do these artwork changes persist across computers and installs? If I reinstall Steam after a clean Windows installation will I have to do all these changes again or are they synced up to Steam's servers like your categories?

JustinBB7 · Oct 31, 2019

You know you can take screenshots of your pc right lol.

I use https://www.steamgriddb.com/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/steamgrid/ myself. Mostly go for the animated versions that aren't busy. I had that Dota 2 one posted above but now I have just the logo and some embers flying around the background. I feel that's the best way to do it otherwise your library gets busy fast.

DoradoWinston · Oct 31, 2019

how did you create the animated art work?

or if you found it is there somewhere I can go to see more?

edit: nvm i got it. If you want to make your own animated covers get a video or gif and put it here. you can then convert to APNG and put it on the game you want.

Rotobit · Oct 31, 2019

Here's a box art and banner I made for Sonic CD, since it didn't have 'em before:

And a bunch of Final Fantasy ones (III, VII, IX, XIII-2, Lightning Returns, and Type-0 HD) hosted here.

Giever · Oct 31, 2019

Is there any way to grab the official box art/background/logo for some games? I have some non-Steam games that do exist on Steam. Would be nice to use the official art.

Spinky · Oct 31, 2019

Would love if someone could make a custom banner for Doom... considering the one they're currently using is fan art.

Look in SteamDB. If they have assets they should be in information under library assets.

Example:

https://steamdb.info/app/570/info/

library_capsule: en view portrait image
library_hero: en view hero background
library_logo: en view logo image

Thanks a lot, this is perfect.

eonden · Oct 31, 2019

Also, I think it might be interesting to put Steam Grid DB in here as they also have custom art:

Watching this thread with great interest, thanks for making it. Already grabbed a bunch of covers off of SteamGridDB, but still need banners and logos for a ton of games.

RazieltheShifter · Oct 31, 2019

Thanks for the heads up OP. I will try to contribute for some of my favourite games.

Few months ago I made a custom wallpaper of Doom for myself. I can make a custom banner from that.

texhnolyze · Oct 31, 2019

Posters are mostly available online (steamgrid), and making the banners is easily done by cropping some wallpapers or bullshots. Finding or making the transparent logos though, is the biggest challenge for me.

I can see that being the case for more obscure games. If you've got a list of games I could edit up some transparent pngs after work.

Deleted member 13148 · Oct 31, 2019

A few more logos, and a few backgrounds. I've got a couple of backgrounds for a few more games, but I'm not really happy with them. I might see if I can find something better before uploading them.

Trying to make my currently installed list somewhat 'acceptable' to look at on Steam right now, here's a bunch of just the 'Library Capsule' art for games that didn't have it on my installed.

Homeworld Remastered Collection
Homeworld Deserts of Kharak
Sega Mega Drive/Genesis Classics
Halo: The Master Chief Collection (Currently Insider Build)

BlazeHedgehog · Oct 31, 2019

I made my own box art for Sonic CD, which is based on a movie-poster-type-thing I saw on Google Image Search, using artwork made for the 1997 PC version of the game:

BlazeHedgehog · Oct 31, 2019

Here's a bunch of quick emulator box art. They could be a little more consistent (particularly Redream) but they're good enough for me.
