  • Polish certain parts of the UI to give a better user experience.
  • Different aesthetic of other available themes available by default in Playnite and created by the community.
  • Achieve features that are not available by default on Playnite via community extensions.

It's in the "Download" part at the bottom of the post.

It says ".pthm  Stardust_0_80.pthm (Size: 51.88 KB / Downloads: 11)", click that.

What exact things do you mean?
In general, while some people may like it, I don't for the following reasons:
- Cover: It doesn't make sense to add the cover there when it's already showing in the library view
- Details layout: The information panel there is basically the same panel used in details view. GridView needs more width in the library view (Covers), which makes it more limited to add information. Add that you can open extra panels (Explorer and Filter panels) and you'll see what happens. It will get worse if you use a custom DPI or use a lower resolution. That must be the reason why that panel is in vertical format in Playnite by default. Here's how it looks in my screen with all panels opened: https://i.imgur.com/gjZDXw5.png

Hello, great job with this theme! I like it very much.
However there is only one thing that disturbs me, the covers in grid view are not rounded .
Do you think to introduce this feature in the next updates ?

I made a fork of it, has some layout changes and more interactions https://github.com/simeonradivoev/Stardust
I might not end up making PR for all the changes in the future, so just throwing it out here.
