Micro Trailers are used on the Cover Images in the Main view, Trailers are used in the Game Details view.

Great theme - been playing about with it since you put the Beta online and it's very good!

Two issues. Created an issue on github for the first - the 'NEW TO LIBRARY' text has a " at the end.

The other is a feature request: can we use DKG Theme Modifier to just disable the above "NEW TO LIBRARY" label. I know the theme is meant to look like the Steam Deck UI, but more often than not it covers up text or parts of my cover and I find it distracting. Plus it doesn't behave how it does on Steam, where that little label vanishes after you've had the game in your library for a littel while - Playnite Deck seems to only remove it after you've played the game.

What a great looking theme! I've run into two issues though. I can't seem to get the micro trailers to play on the video covers, although the regular trailers are working in the game details view. There also appears to be a navigation bug. If I navigate with keyboard or gamepad to the right a few times, it'll jump to the search box.

This is a fantastic theme, absolutely love it!

I may have found a bug, when using a mouse the lower 30%ish of the screen triggers the 'all games' horizontal/grid switch, so for example in grid view, instead of clicking on the second or third row of games, it's highlighting and triggering the hori/grid 'all games' button. I can navigate to those elements with a keyboard, just not the mouse.

In horizontal, I'm not sure if the green play button is intended to be functional or aesthetic, it's in the area where the mouse triggers the hori/grid all games button so I can't interact with it.

I love the filter menu on grid view, is it possible to show the filter menu in horizontal as well?

Again, I really like this one, it's very clean and great for multiple platforms.

Thank you for adding the 'new to library' checkbox in the DKG modifier options! Awesome!

Someone found out how to unlock the real Steam Deck UI on Windows:

Can maybe use as a reference to improve the "Steam Deck"-ness of the theme?

This is my default Fullscreen skin! It feels very familiar now that I have a Steam Deck. Makes switching back and forth easy.
