• Some kind of application to flip through game covers instead of shortcuts?
    13 replies, posted
I'm tired of opening my games folder and looking at a bunch of tiny little icons with the name of the game below them. I was wondering if there's something out there that will have shortcuts, but it will make them pretty. A big wall of game shortcuts, but instead of little icons, it's the game's cover art or something and clicking on it will launch the game. I think I've seen something like this before a long time ago.
You could use Steam Grid and then get custom icons for it [t]http://i.imgur.com/BCKXE.jpg[/t] The standart Windows 7 Games menu also lets you do something like that [t]http://i.imgur.com/snzDH.jpg[/t]
I used to use rocketdock and icon packs from deviantart: [t]http://www.deviantart.com/download/154723077/Desktop_19_02_2010_by_cdlink.jpg[/t]
That is exactly what I want, but not on the desktop. I want to install RocketDock in a folder or some shit. And in rows, preferably. I am asking for something impossibly specific you see.

Here's mine with my entire (interesting) game collection added! [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3901038/FP/game%20icons.png[/img] [editline]5th August 2012[/editline] And here's where you go to get all the lovely boxart icons: [url]http://jeno-cyber.deviantart.com/[/url]
You are a beautiful man. [editline]5th August 2012[/editline] good taste of games too except for no max payne
I own a lot more games than that (including the max payne series) I tend to uninstall them once I've completed them.
667 games on your Steam certainly is a lot more. I went the manual route and made all the icons myself. That took a huge amount of time but it looks cool as shit. Thanks again. [img]http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/8/21711372080-orig.jpg[/img]
