steam banner? you mean that thing in the library?
that's like across the top of every real steam game?

why would you make this? can you add one? I don't think you can

Yes, go for Steam beta, go to the view with the big icons. Then, right click on whatever game you want to change and press "set custom image."

Wait, I'm in a beta?

I've been able to do this for months and I don't remember ever signing up for a beta

Also:

Take screenshot as a DOF shot with $megaShotScaleFactor = 4; (was that even the value? whatever make it a megashot) then scale it down to help jagged edges
Preferably also greenscreen over a screenshot of a nice build instead of just a white background; failing that at least a gradient so it's not a flat color will help

Also being as this is a creative thing related to Blockland and not just games in general, it should be in Creativity or General Discussion respectively (I'd go for Creativity)
