FoxyMonty Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) Hey guys, Thought I'd just say hi, I've been a lurker for a few months but I think it's time to help out wherever is possible. These custom grid banner images are in the same style as the official Steam banners. I spoke to Jason and he suggested if we wanted to incorporate them into the database we should probably create a new field for them. There are two choices: - Blurred Grid Banners - Clear Grid Banners Example of blurred steam images - http://i.imgur.com/QeKKjUL.jpg I currently have 1,500+ of these images and will begin making packs and release them in the downloads section if people decide they do not want to create this additional category for the games database. Let me know what you think Want to create your own? - I have included the custom grid banner template that you can download. - The dimensions of the grid are set at 920 x 430. - Find a high quality background image - Find a high quality clear text image - If you want to create the blurred effect, add a Gaussian blur to the background - 11px Foxy Monty Custom Grid Banner.psd Edited November 26, 2016 by FoxyMonty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FistyDollars Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I think we should definitely add a Steam Banner category; I've never been sure how to categorize them before, as they're not a traditional "banner" image, which is usually a think horizontal stripe, but they're not technically Box Art either, even though they are official images provided for games on Steam, which fits my definition of Box Art. @Vlansix! @Jason Carr! Thoughts? And these look QUITE nice, @FoxyMonty. If we get the category, I'd gladly help upload them to the DB. Before I used LaunchBox as my primary games launcher, I was heavily into the Steam Grid custom image scene, regularly visiting the /r/steamgrid subreddit and the steambanners.booru site, so I love seeing some good blurred grid images!

Lordmonkus Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Indeed these are very nice looking. I'd classify them as "Digital Box Art" or "Digital Store Box Art" or something along that line for scraping and categorizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
