Steam Backgrounds-Favorites (Warning: Might be Data Heavy)

Of course my screen resolution is 1080, but I’m never using steam in fullscreen, why would I do that? So much screen real estate wasted on dead space. My steam window is sized so that everything of importance is visible and nothing else. I mean I literally took 2 screenshots of my steam window, you can tell what size it is. : )

Also I really do not spend a lot of time looking at my own profile. If you guys are hanging out on my profile for any amount of time I have got to wonder why, but I’m sorry it’s so drab to look at.

I have a few I like to keep in the old inventory, but I definitely agree with @Fraggles that lots of backgrounds just don’t look good when applied.

My Old/Current Backgrounds (That work with Steam's Profile Layout)


This was an old profile, from Castle Crashers

Another old profile, and one I will more than likely return to eventually. From Depth.

Although I didn’t ever use it, I have always wanted to put this one on my profie. From Don’t Starve

God, I love this profile image. From Foul Play.

My current profile image. From the Bug Butcher.

Backgrounds that I like but don't work with steam's profile layout


Freaking awesome, from the well illustrated art of Nuclear Throne.


Anything from Slime rancher is also freaking awesome.


I like this image, but it just doesn’t translate well into the profile. From Steam Marines

My favorite Steam background has to be this one. I’m a sucker for this game and it’s aesthetic (even though I’m terrible at it).

Skullgirls

Here are a couple others I like

The Binding of Isaac

Volgarr the Viking

Furi

This is similar to what I picture a Chrono.gg background if ever the team gets together to make a game. :slight_smile:

Am I the only one? I am always on maximized windows…

I added it to my favorites at least. Not planning to do any Steam item shopping yet…

You can also set the browser zoom for steam’s page, for some it may look too tiny / hard to read though. My 1366x768 resolution laptop is set to 90% in fullscreen and 75% works well for windowed.

I only use one backround, this one:

Then I switch the paintins around ever so often and this is how it currently looks on my profile


I own some other cool backgrounds I think about using one day, though. Such as:

And finally an example of a bad background in 4K:

Happy to help!

Personal preference, I really think that the Xcom ones look amazing, but then the steam profile doesn’t showcase the good pieces!

The best backgrounds are like the Borderlands 2 one that knows how to have ‘dead space’ that still has a cohesive image.
