Indeed, focusing only on the background, there is a turnaround: sapic.github.io https://steam.design/#http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/items/369200/90a1638694f06c7686ca8943707ca8b759e659dc.jpg
(the bottom does the trick directly to this background, but I couldn't make a link for it - or maybe it turns into a link without I do it... well, worked for me)

I just added that image to my wallpapers cycle (around 30 images), didn't knew it before this post.
I find it funny that it kinda looks like a zoom into the major in my left screen.

Welcome to the world of Steam emotes and backgrounds, where nothing is properly designed.

Blame whoever designed the background?
But as far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't mind having my profile sandwiched between two guys. It's better than girls. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Really nice background now I just had to place an order for it :p
Also with some modifications it can look pretty good on your profile https://steam.design/#http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/items/369200/90a1638694f06c7686ca8943707ca8b759e659dc.jpg
For sure not for everybody but when I will use it I will do it like that, the same way I do it with my current profile background.

It's a shame you can't do custom backgrounds in the steam client.

I've been saying all this time that Valve need to revamp the Steam Profile to mesh well with backgrounds that have art in the center. You can find guides on how to make use the art background using the screenshot and artwork showcases. That do require more steps which most people aren't aware of or isn't worth doing. You also needed to be at least minimum Steam level 20-30 to do so. Many users are not even close to that or care to spend money/trade to craft sets too.

Same with emotes. Most are crap in chat because of the minuscule size. Needs to be bigger.

How about a profile background showcase ? There will still be some missing parts but better than nothing.

Only the female character is left out. This is why we need feminism. Down with patriarchy!

Anyway, on a serious note there are a lot of backgrounds which unfortunately aren't well designed for being a steam background. And unlike some people here I don't think it's Valve's fault, but the fault of the background creators. They either didn't look into how steam backgrounds are used or just didn't care to design them properly for steam.

so you're concerned about the wallpaper and not the game itself? :(
I really want a jrpg (or an action game like MGS R) based on GITS Sac Universe instead of a generic fps with Section9 skins attached. :(

Seems like it would be difficult to handle that weapon with the two top heavy twin shooters in the way...
