Download Steam Icon
Joane Goes
Hi there... I recently upgraded the SSD in my ROG Ally and when I reinstalled everything, the Steam app icon in the taskbar is no longer the steam icon but rather a white rectangle with a smaller blue rectangle inside it. I reinstalled steam but that didn't fix it. The icon does appear in the system tray however. This isn't how it was before I upgraded my SSD so I am a little confused. Any ideas? Thanks.
I believe my issue was due to GNOME and the desktop icon using the dedicated GPU from Nvidia while there appears to be some sort of bug within the driver at the moment. Therefore, you will need to launch Steam while using integrated graphics until Nvidia corrects this issue to my understanding.
Modifying the desktop icon which was located in /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop for me (you may also copy this to /.local/share/applications if you want to modify it under your home directory) and setting the following has fixed the issue for me:
You would normally have to replace steam with something like flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam, but thanks to xdg your system should still be able to handle Steam protocol links even though Steam itself is not present in your host system.
I'm trying to tidy up the menu for my Openbox install by adding missing icons. Specifically, I'm looking to add the icons for the steam games. I've read in other threads, that steam puts it's icons into hicolor [sic], but I can't seem to find them anywhere. Can someone help me out?
I am making a file explorer and for the thumbnail view it requires the icon of a file. I have gotten an icon for all of the files except for steam games. I have looked around and cannot find a way to get the icon like Windows does.
Try right-clicking one of the icons and associate it with Edge, I had this issue after uninstalling IE, which is what the icons are normally associated with (they are an URL type), it is possible the latest install media for Windows removes IE now in favour of Edge. Think I remember hearing somewhere MS would do that.
So the other day i reset my Windows 10 but without deleting personal files. When the reset finished i noticed all the icons on my desktop were blank and assumed they would restore when i reinstalled everything. when i downloaded steam back i found all the games on my 2tb hard drive were still there and only my C drive games got cleared. so i added the 2tb hard drives library folder to steam and all my games were now seen as installed on steam.
I did replace some icons by finding them in the folder but i realised they are still blank in the start menu and if i look at the shortcuts properties its still blank and it felt like a cheap solution that didnt properly fix it. also some icons in the game folder were slightly different from the actual old shortcut icon so kinda annoying.
Steam icons are actually URLs, Steam uses a HTML system to determine where a game is and which game an icon opens and the URLs are normally associated with IE as their MIME type. If IE is removed, then until Steam update their app, you need to associate with Edge to see the icon according to the URL descriptor in the icons properties..
At this point your shortcut will work; you can close the Steam window, select the Return to Gaming Mode icon on the desktop and find your shortcut in your game library in the NON-STEAM section. However, we've got some artwork for you that will make look it a little nicer. Here's how to add that:
Add the icon: Select the blank square to the left of the name of the shortcut, navigate to the location you saved the artwork, and select Xbox_Cloud_Gaming_Icon.jpg. Close this when you are done.
Add the icon: Select the blank square to the left of the name of the shortcut, navigate to the location you saved the artwork, and select Microsoft_Edge_Beta_Icon.png. Close this when you are done.
