It was one of the things I loved the most. Can I get my screenshots back in the background? I hate the default pics.

Edit: Added "Rotating" to the title. Is that what you would call it? Changing? Rotating?

That was cool, the carousel effect was occasional and not disruptive. If we had no screen shots then it was entirely unobtrusive. I would like that previous feature back as well.

Please YES, some games/software I have in my library has no banner image and a completely white banner is shown instead. This does not fit the default dark themeish look of steam and is really ugly. Its not nice to be flashed by a bright white wall all of a sudden

It reminded me of the good times I had in my games and every now and then, seeing one of those background pictures was enough to make me want to boot the game up and play again. If that's not good design, I don't know what is.

That was the main reason why I took screenshots in games.

@Voidflakes & Unknown: Ditto. Same for me.

Please Devs, tell us it is possible or if not that you'll bring it back!!!

Sure, I'm up for that.

would like to get it back, pretty please
while it kinda allows to set the background manually, it just lacks the subtle "oh hey, i remember taking this pic" effect while randomly clicking through the library

You can always change the background to whatever you want by right clicking on it

Note devs have added some very good logos and backgrounds if they choose to do so.

Actually I was not aware of that. Thanks!

Still, the old backgrounds were a) transparent/faded (not sure what to call that - anyways, subtle in the background) and more importantly b) changed automatically.

Overall I think it was better than the manual change we have now.
