How to change this picture in steam (I don't know what it's called) (lemmy.ml)

Hi all. This is probably silly, but how in the world do you change this circled image? Right-clicking on the whole thing then clicking "manage" can only set the one already there, not this empty one.

EDIT: I have failed to mention that this game isn't a steam game, it is a "non-steam game" that I added to steam.

EDIT2: Just found out that hovering over the game and keeping the cursor on it makes it go through a series of pictures, which leads me to believe that that is an "album" of several pictures for each game that gets downloaded with each game.

So, this is a non-steam game that I have added to it. So, all the paths you have mentioned are not there in this case. They even have different file structure. I was hoping that steam has a folder somewhere for these games where I can go in and add images

The path should be the same for non-steam games as well

2284631436 (the example id that I used) is the "game id" of Firefox on my steam deck, which I added as a non-steam game

Hmmm, I'll need to dig into those folders one by one then to find out which one is the non-steam games folders. Also, I've found a folder called "grid" buried somewhere in the steam folder, but that one only has the images I've already set

There shouldn't be a need to look through multiple folders. Check the path that I listed, it should be that one.

From what you describe, it sounds like you've already found it once on your own. That folder contains all the custom images (the default images are presumably stored somewhere else). Just put your custom image into that grid folder and name it the correct thing. It'll work.
