Does anyone know of a resource where I can get the icons Steam uses for their games? Some Steam games aren't importing them, and games from Epic don't import icons unless I install the game completely. Currently, I am stuck using what I can find on Google images, which tend to look like this, and they don't look great in Playnite imo.
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?
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..
Additionally, when looking through the available icons, after creating a desktop shortcut through the mentioned methods above, there is still no icon available to be pointed to for the launcher if I were to edit it and attempt to amend things
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 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.
Kidding aside, you can try finding where your icon is located, then right click your shortcut, click "Shortcut", and "Change Icon...". The problem with that is that it is a massive pain in the ass to locate your icons.
Upgraded to Windows 10 a couple of weeks and just noticed that almost all of the icons on my desktop have a small red X in the lower-left corner. The recycle bin and some documents seem to be the exceptions.
The icon cache can sometimes become corrupted causing the icons of files to display incorrectly or distorted. When this happens, the icon cache needs to be deleted to reset and automatically recreate it.
I also included two .ICO files to use in Windows, the reason being that I now have a scaled down LB/BB build that lives on my Steam Deck, and my primary portable build that's much larger on an external drive that's accessible when the Deck is docked. I wanted to create icons to further differentiate them on my start screen.

Nintendo has issued a number of Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) requests against SteamGridDB (SGDB), a site that hosts custom fan-made icons and images used to represent games on Steam's front-end interface.
On October 12 at Exporail, the Canadian Railway Museum near Montreal, Quebec, Rapido Trains announced that it plans to produce the Icons of Canadian Steam. The multi-year project will consist of HO scale models of 12 notable Canadian steam locomotives, usually in multiple classes.
Icons of Steam is dedicated to preserving and operating historic steam and diesel locomotives on the main line and heritage railways of Britain. Several of the locomotives in The One:One Collection are operated by Icons of Steam, running heritage tours across the UK, to the delight of rail enthusiasts and heritage fans alike.
To add a non-Steam game to Steam, from Steam's menu bar, choose Games > Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library. Then, select the game(s) to add and choose "Add Selected Programs." Then you can add custom icons, backgrounds, and logos to your non-Steam games.
Steam's game management client is very streamlined if you're only using Steam-purchased games, but it needs a little tweaking if you're adding non-Steam games to the launcher. Read on as we show you how to add any game, application, or emulator to Steam with custom icons and artwork.
The first step, actually adding the game into Steam, is the easiest. In fact, if you don't care about having pretty icons and cover art for your collection, the whole process will take about two minutes.
Before we actually start swapping in artwork, however, we need to outline what exactly you need for the different customization options. There are four things you can customize: icons (small squares, just like desktop icons), cover art (the large posters like movie cover art found in media organizers like Kodi or iTunes), backgrounds (the big banner that shows up when you select a game in your library), and logos (the title card that appears on top of backgrounds). Here's what you need for each:
Icons: These are standard icons, you'll need either a EXE with an embedded icon (like the EXE of the app itself, if it has an icon you want) or the icon you want to use as a PNG or TGA file that's square (e.g. 256 x 256 pixels) like a regular icon file.
Where can you find the right icons and artwork? Icons are pretty easy to come by; most recent games will have the icon embedded right in the EXE; a quick search in Google Images will turn up alternatives if you don't like the icon you have or replacements for missing icons.
A good place to find artwork is SteamGridDB, which lets you sort results by artwork type, if you're looking specifically for icons, for example. It even has animated PNGs (though in our experience these tend to cause the Steam client to lag). You can also search Google Images and use the Size function to specify exactly 600 x 900 or another dimension you want. If you're not having luck with any of those, you can always hit up Deviant Art; you'll find individual images and packs.
That's all there is to it! With a little tweaking and a few minutes spent searching for some quality icons and cover art, you can enjoy the same beautiful artwork on your non-Steam games as you've come to expect from your Steam games.
This open source icon is named "steam" and is licensed under the open source Good Boy license. It's available to be downloaded in SVG and PNG formats (available in 256, 512, 1024 and 2048 PNG sizes).
It's part of the icon set "Line Awesome", which has 1,544 icons in it.
If you need this icon available in another format, it should be pretty straight forward to download it as an SVG image file, and then import it into apps like Adobe Photoshop, Crello, Pablo or Pixlr. Converting it to an ICO, JPEG or WebP image format or file type should also be pretty simple (we hope to add that feature to Iconduck soon).
