PlayOS

PlayOS

A fullscreen theme for Playnite inspired by the GameOS theme for Pegasus.

This theme aims to be as minimal as possible.

DOWNLOAD

Installation

Simply drag and drop the .pthm file into Playnite's window (while in desktop mode).

Customization

This theme uses games' icons as logos, so you will need to edit them to have them properly displayed like in the screenshots. You can configure the theme and use all the options available in the settings menu, except for the Item Spacing. This setting is fixed. Below is my recommended configuration to make your library look like the screenshots :

Don't hesitate to open an issue to report any bug.

Wider logos tend to appear quite small compared to taller ones. Do you think you could make the the sizes a bit more consistent across the board? Also, would it be possible for you to add some sort of shadow to the logos? Some logos can blend in with the background.
Example below:

Yup, just noticed that wide logo appear smaller than tall logos. It's an easy fix. As for the shadows under the logos, I don't know if it would work, or if it is feasible at all. I'll release an update pretty soon, thanks for the feedback

UPDATE : Now fixed in 1.1, wide logos are now much bigger, but I couldn't add a shadow under the logos

Thanks for the quick fix. Works perfectly now. :)
As for the shadows, I think I''ll just add them manually to the logos.

Love the theme. However, as of version 8.0, it no longer seems to be compatible. Not sure if you were aware or not but when trying to double click or move the file over to the Playnite window, I get a message saying it isn't packaged properly.

Updated for Playnite 8.X

Thanks a lot for the update

I am just wondering if there is a way to remove the icon or replace it with a cover from the game page.

If you can direct me on which line to edit in the XML file I would be grateful.

Is there a metadata plugin to grab the logos as icons so I can do this automatically? I've got 1500 games on Steam alone so doing these by hand isn't really an option.

I am just wondering if there is a way to remove the icon or replace it with a cover from the game page.

If you can direct me on which line to edit in the XML file I would be grateful.

 If you open GameDetails.xaml in the Views folder the icon is the border block on line 54-59 (I moved stuff slightly so I might be a line or two off, but it's the block with IconObjectCached as an image source.) You can comment out the whole block to get rid of the icon or if you want covers instead, change IconObjectCached to CoverImageObject. Keep in mind if you change to the cover you'll need to adjust the MaxHeight and MaxWidth to match the aspect ratio of your covers. Also a little quality of life suggestion if you make the swap to covers: Change the Margin to 80 instead of 150 to match the game title alignment.

Hope this helps.

Yup, I should redo the installation tutorial but there is a metadata plugin for the icons.

I just installed your theme and I love it! I'm still having trouble with a lot of the box art being slightly different sizes though. Is it possible to keep a consistent aspect ratio and then stretch the box art like the desktop version does? I'm pretty new to Playnite so I might just be missing something obvious.

Nice theme
Could you do it in other colors than pink ?

Yup, what color would you want ?

[SeeDborg]

I think it would be really cool to have several colors, like blue, yellow, red, green, orange...
Or cooler : be able to edit a file theme to change the theme color myself !

Just wanted to say, love the theme. It looks so good. 

I do have one thing to cover. I am using steam covers (460x215). What I find is the theme cuts off bottom of the images. Is there anyway of adjusting the settings such that the complete steam cover is displayed?

I've attached a screenshot that hghlights some more egregious offenders.

Thanks,

Did you set the ratio correctly for the grid mode ? (in desktop mode)

I believe so. These are the settings at present.
