Do you like adding custom games to your Steam list but hate how they don't show up properly in grid view? A new public beta is available that allows you to use custom banner for all your games. To sign up for it open the "Steam" menu at the top left of your client and in the Settings tab select the option to change your beta participations and find "Steam beta update".
Once you've downloaded the beta you can change each game's banner by right clicking on them in the grid view and choosing the "Select Custom Image" option. The default size for the banners is 460 x 215 pixels so try to cut your images to that size.
