I am liking Steam a bit better each day (I never hated it by the way).

I have added Non-Steam games to my librabry, but they don't come up with an ICON/GAME BACKGROUND like my Steam games do... just with the .exe icon.

Is there a way to put a background on them so they blend in with the rest of my steam games?

They should have an icon on the game list, but the background takes from the Steam store page unfortunately.

And it does look ugly :P But you're not going to spend too much time staring at your Steam menu, I wouldn't think.

No of course not, but it would be great if u could import ur own background, so they all look pretty... Also what's the go with screenshots....doesn't Steam have a button where u can take screenshots and it saves them to a file (like xFire)?

With screenshots in CS I think the button is F5, and it stores them in the Screenshots folder where CS is stored in your Steam directory. Check the keyboard options in other games to see what the button for screenshots is.

Yeah I know... I was thinking more on the lines of Steam having a UNIVERSAL screenshot button for any game...

Thus it is why Steam needs proper non Steam game support like Xfire does.
