Backgrounds are cut off

[rosspest]

You get a nice background, you put it on your profile, and 10% on either side is cut off.
Sadly these are steam backgrounds?
Why would a steam background not properly display at 1920 X 1080?
They will properly display on my website.
Am I so much smarter than Steam, that I can put in few lines of code to make it work?
These are Steam Backgrounds that don't properly display on your own website.
Maybe you should employ a mderately bright 16 year old to do what your own IT team can't do.

your background displays perfectly for me, no cut off saint row chicks

[rosspest]

I had to go with that because it about the only background that would work.

[Shasow]

What do you mean by cut off?

[APerfectCircle]

I think it's pretty lame how some devs made backgrounds without taking the Steam profile into consideration, eg, a background with part of the picture in the middle of the page, where our Steam profile sits.

As far as I'm aware, Steam backgrounds are a single image that are tailored for the 1920x1080 resolution.
It's also not Valve that create the backgrounds (except for Valve games, of course), so if a game background doesn't match the borders of the profile content, try to contact the devs of the game. They are the ones that made the background image after all.

Personally I think they should be tailored to 1366x768 resolution...

Actually not really sure what the backgrounds are for. You can't see much of any of them since one's profile content is overlayed on top. Never seen more than the border edges on any I've used.

I would agree with this completely, or make images bigger but resizable to screen width. How 'complicated' would that be nowadays...

[Joya]

Images are cut regardless of the size of the screen or resolution, some are displaying properly other are just cut on sides... :(

I know this is an old discussion but I found that if you go into your display settings and under 'scale and layout' you switch 'change the size of text, apps, and other items' from 125% to 100% it won't cut off your backgrounds. Worked for me

I have been having this problem for YEARS and thanks to your comment it helped lead me into figuring it out. At first I figured it was caused by Compatibility settings so I overrode High-DPI Scaling by System although that caused my Steam scrolling to be VERY laggy. I turned Steam's V-Sync to "Off" using NVidia Control Panel (not sure if this actually helps though I am keeping V-Sync disabled). I then accidentally figured this next part out myself

The fix for preventing Steam backgrounds from being cut-off in the Steam application (with the application working smoothly) is by going into "Settings" -> "Interface". Here you:
Disable/Uncheck:
"Scale text and icons to match monitor settings (requires restart)"
Enable/Check:
"Enable GPU accelerated rendering in web views (requires restart)"

This allows you to keep your custom scaling resolution on your OS while having Steam display as though the OS' custom scaling factor was 100%. You get to keep your OS custom scaling factor while also being able to have profile backgrounds in the Steam application display correctly. I hope this helps you!

I play a lot of csgo and play on a different resolution (4:3 and on 1280 x 960 res) and I noticed some people have profile backgrounds that fit exactly like they're supposed to while most people's backgrounds are cut off.

For example:
https://steamcommunity.com/id/yida318 (background not cut off)


https://steamcommunity.com/id/_69420_ (background cut off)

I've been trying to find out how they do it, but can't seem to figure it out.

[AustrAlien2010]

Perhaps they have one at full screen and the other at the original size?

It's the exact same for me, check my comment from before
