Steam Profile Backgrounds needed for Ultrawide Monitors.

[D.M.E]

Hi, With Ultrawide Monitors becoming more and more popular we need Steam to update how the Steam Profile backgrounds work with Ultrawide Resolutions. I'll include a picture of my profile that I've uploaded to Imgur, This is how my profile looks at 3440x1440 with one of the new Resident Evil 2 backgrounds.
As you can see they're completely useless like this, A lot of backgrounds have a blacked out centre surrounded by artwork on both sides, programming the software so they can fit, fill or stretch to resolutions such as 2560x1000 & 3440x1440 etc would improve it for Ultrawide users as would adding some Ultrawide backgrounds to the actual game collections.
If you are in the same position please let us know, the more the merrier.
I'll add a second post with the Imgur link showing how our Steam profile pages currently look on Ultrawide monitors.

Not sure why you bothered to take the time to black out the image you provided when you have your profile public...

Good catch, I had to make it public for GOG Connect during the last GOG sale & forgot to change it back, Cheers

I don't think Valve is going to bother until your gut feelings are born out here:

Being extremely generous, I can get to 5% Ultrawides.

Are you going to ask all the game devs to create larger backgrounds for the older games they made that they no longer work on?

Hi, All I'm saying is that it would be nice if Dev's started adding Ultrawide versions of backgrounds for future releases or another option would be Steam adding a bit of code so that when a profile page is wider than the background the software could stretch out the middle section, doing that would mean that they work for all.
This is an example of a profile background that could be stretched to fit ultrawide profiles. As I'm sure you know there's plenty of profile backgrounds that have been designed like this. https://imgur.com/j1YCCz7

No-ones asking for every background to suddenly have an ultrawide version, just that things move forward so we start seeing them becoming available.
