Go into the folder for XBOXSERIESish. Go into the Media folder and then copy in a jpg called background.jpg. It will then be used as the background for everything if Game Backgrounds are disabled. -- Profile Picture, Background Music & Background Video -- There are now two ways of doing this depending on whether you have Extra Metadata Tools installed or not, please follow the relevant guide below. -- WITHOUT Extra Metadata Tools -- To install open Windows Explorer and copy %APPDATA%\Playnite\Themes\Fullscreen into the navigation bar. Go into the folder for XBOXSERIESish. Go into the Media folder and then copy in background.mp3 for background music and either background_1080.mp4 or background_2160.mp4 for background video. For Profile Picture you will see a Profile Pictures in the Media folder, the one name ProfilePicture.png will be the one used, so you can add your own here. It is recommended you use something that is the same resolution. -- WITH Extra Metadata Tools -- Please scroll down to the section below called -- Extra Metadata Tools -- for all the information on this. -- Extra Metadata Tools -- This Extension allows you to add Logo's for each game and not use the Icon's for Logo's like this theme currently does, Profile Picture, Background Music and Background Video. All media is retained in the Extra Metadata Tools folder so is not deleted upon theme updates. You'll need to go to https://playnite.link/forum/thread-575.html and follow any instructions for installation of the plugin. To add a Profile Picture, Background Music or a Background Video you'll need to right click any game and then add them like the screenshot below, you only need to add these once not for each game. You should see a pop up like below when starting my theme for the first time with this extension installed, just click OK and restart Playnite and it will all be working. If you don't see this pop up please restart Playnite until you do. If you want to go back to using the Icon's you will need to uninstall the extension and re-install my theme. -- SuccessStory Integration -- For Trophy's Earned to show you need to install the latest version of SuccessStory which can be found here: https://playnite.link/forum/thread-275.html Once installed in Desktop Mode you need to go to Settings, Plugins and then SuccessStory. On the Appearance tab you need to turn on Enable custom theme integration (Only if integrated in custom theme), see screenshot below: -- Turning Things On and Off and Changing Labels --

RE: XBOXSERIESish - A XBOX Series UI Inspired Theme - Duece - 03-31-2021 It looks great. I'll install it in a bit and take a few snapshots. RE: XBOXSERIESish - A XBOX Series UI Inspired Theme - kurkobein - 03-31-2021 Yep, this is fantastic! Go and use it now!!! RE: XBOXSERIESish - A XBOX Series UI Inspired Theme - Axellpkmn - 03-31-2021 anyone have the sound files? those of other themes are heard very low RE: XBOXSERIESish - A XBOX Series UI Inspired Theme - davidkgriggs - 03-31-2021 (03-31-2021, 06:53 PM)Axellpkmn Wrote: anyone have the sound files? those of other themes are heard very low If you look at the Playnite Sounds section of this thread it has a link and instructions on how to add the sounds. RE: XBOXSERIESish - A XBOX Series UI Inspired Theme - Axellpkmn - 03-31-2021 oooh my mistake haha thank you very much RE: XBOXSERIESish - A XBOX Series UI Inspired Theme - perkin - 04-01-2021 First tests The text box is too small for other languages, in the rest everything seems to work perfect I understand that this seeks to be a faithful representation of series x, but this general view is much more beautiful and aesthetic This could also be a possibility for general view It would be positive to have a version with a general view of the icons to make it more aesthetically beautiful great job as always, very spectacular RE: XBOXSERIESish - A XBOX Series UI Inspired Theme - Duece - 04-01-2021 RE: XBOXSERIESish - A XBOX Series UI Inspired Theme - slymeasy - 04-02-2021 It looks pretty good. I installed it and tried it out. I don't think anything will get me to move away from the PS5ish theme but this is definitely a great alternative. RE: XBOXSERIESish - A XBOX Series UI Inspired Theme - Duece - 04-02-2021 I've used it for about a day and I love it. Your PS5 theme is top-notch but this theme fits better (IMO) on my Windows 10 based PC. RE: XBOXSERIESish - A XBOX Series UI Inspired Theme - davidkgriggs - 04-03-2021 Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Glad you're all enjoying it. RE: XBOXSERIESish - A XBOX Series UI Inspired Theme - NiZEDGE - 04-03-2021 love your skin looks amazing, one problem ive encountered is pressing the dpad down on the main screen seems to make the cursor go to a strange place, and it takes a while to get back to the 7 main games, and mouse support doesn't seem all there hope you can fix that but still using your skin in either way RE: XBOXSERIESish - A XBOX Series UI Inspired Theme - amoda - 04-03-2021 Thanks for your continuous amazing job. We all appreciate your professional work RE: XBOXSERIESish - A XBOX Series UI Inspired Theme - Luka8989 - 04-05-2021 The original Xbox background video is not there? Do you still have to do it? Does the Xbox have background sound like the PS5? Thank you so much for your themes are the best, I hope you will keep improving the PS5 theme and this XBOX more and more, you are number one RE: XBOXSERIESish - A XBOX Series UI Inspired Theme - Duece - 04-07-2021 (04-05-2021, 01:54 PM)Luka8989 Wrote: The original Xbox background video is not there?Yeah, what happened to the background videos?

The Xbox doesn't have background videos. It has some dynamic backgrounds. And you can add those as a background video you just need to find them and add them, using either Extra Metadata Tools or drop it into the media folder. I don't want to make all the dynamic backgrounds like I made the PS5 background as it will take me a very long time. Also the xbox has no background music. You can use the PS5 background music instead if you want some background music.

RE: XBOXSERIESish - A XBOX Series UI Inspired Theme - ragestaker21 - 04-07-2021 HATS OFF This theme is fricking awesome! Thank you!! I LOVE YOU ONLY nitpick i found so far is the game details page, its not good like the PS5 one. screenshot below: Feedback: make the specific game details page "like" PS5ish. RE: XBOXSERIESish - A XBOX Series UI Inspired Theme - davidkgriggs - 04-07-2021 (04-07-2021, 04:45 PM)ragestaker21 Wrote: HATS OFF Glad you're enjoying the theme. The game details page is based on the game details store page of the Xbox which I've attached below: [attachment=1532] There is another page that looks like this so I could change it to be more like this: [attachment=1533] I will make it better over time either way, but I won't make it the same as PS5ish as that would stray from The Xbox style of the theme. |
