You have to view it on your shelf and then right click it and the option should be there to change.

Yeah. You can customize it only when it's the last game played under "Recent Games". It also uses the former Steam Grid art if you added custom Grid art in the previous library.

I would like an option to set both types from the "Manage" menu as well as an option to add custom background art on the game's page.

Not actually, you can right click it in any collection view, then Manage then Set Custom Artwork.

But yeah, it would be cool if we could have more customization options like for a banner in the game's view. For non-Steam games and mods that view looks very empty (old version at least had some info telling why there wasn't much there)

Hey! You're right. You can click on any of them in collections. I guess it's just most noticeable on the first one as it actually is displaying the art.

Edit: No. I am actually correct. There are 2 types of custom art that can be assigned to games. The first is the cover/boxart. This can be accessed by right clicking the title in the library and selecting custom art.

The 2nd custom art is the horizontal "Grid" view that shows when it's the most recent game played under "Recent Games" OR by hovering your mouse over the cover/box art. This piece can only be changed when it's showing the horizontal art on the last played game on the "Recent Games" shelf.

This horizontal art can also be manually set by adding the art to steam/userdata/user/config/grid and finding the title's number and adding the art while removing the trailing "p" (for poster I assume). Obviously this is laborious and doing it from the GUI is easier to manage.

+1 non steam games are using screen captures on stable branch but non steam games pages are blank with no features at all on beta branch.

Banners, not covers

Well, it seen my post was seen by the devs. Non-Steam game pages are less empty now (it shows the same info as before and has the screenshot section), thanks for that. However, it would still be nice if we would be able to set a custom banner for these.

Once you add the Non Steam Game to your library, click on the game you added. At the top you see the Horizontal Blank banner space. Right click that. Once you right click you can add both a Background Image and a Logo Image, in addition to the custom artwork for the Home Screen.

Yep, the feature was added a while after the last post of this thread.
