New Steam Deck owner here!

I already have custom artwork set on the non-steam games installed on my PC. When I view my non-steam games via my Steam Deck I do not see the artwork, however the artwork shows up when I use Steam Link via my other devices

I tried downloading Decky and the SteamGridDB plugin to manually set the artwork, but after choosing “Set Artwork” for my remote non-steam games I just get the spinning “D”.

Any suggestions on how to make my streamed non-steam games pretty?

    As an alternative, you could try Desktop mode and SGDBoop.

    Grab SGDBoop from the Discover store, and then enable the shortcut button on the SteamGridDB website. You can browse for your games and apply artwork with a button that appears. For non-Steam games you may have to select the title from a list.

    I haven’t found this process to be too painful for the handful of games I have that don’t have grid art.

      Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I keep getting an error “Could not find any non-steam apps”. I suspect this is because this is a streamed game and not locally installed.

          Appreciate the help regardless. With anything new there’s always the question of “is it a newbie thing and I’m doing it wrong or …”?
