PS5ish - A PS5 UI Inspired Theme

[davidkgriggs]

Updated to v1.81. This version I have changed a lot of visual features, tweaking them to bring them closer to the PS5 UI. I have also re-coded sections so that they can be easily turned on and off, there is a new section below called Turning Things On and Off that explains this and shows examples.

Amazing update, man! However, it seems that 2:3 Steam grids have broken in this update. The cover art is now cropped. You can see this in Kirby Air Ride, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and Super Mario Sunshine in my screenshots. Thank you for consistently updating this theme though!

 In the Grid View settings you need to change the Stretch Mode to Fill. I will update the settings in the main thread, thanks for pointing it out!

This is the best theme I've seen so far, literally made me re-install playnite just to check it out!
I have one question, is it possible to make it compatible the successStory (the one that shows achievements) plugin to this theme?
I imagine not many people ask for it and it might not be worth the effort but I believe it would be an excellent addition to this theme!

Anyway, thanks for your effort making this theme!

I have been trying to get SuccessStory information onto the main page but it is not possible, I've had chats with the developer of SuccessStory and he has confirmed it is a Playnite limitation for now. Once it can work though I'll get the info into my theme straight away.

When the Stretch Mode is set to Uniform to Fill, 2:3 covers look cropped like in eric.png's screenshot. But with it set to Fill, the covers now look stretched to what I think is the IGDB cover ratio.

I'll be releasing a big new update that solves this issue. It will be one version that changes the size of the icons depending on the grid view settings. I finally got it working, should make a massive difference to the ease of use of this theme! Hopefully I'll have the update up sometime today.

EDIT: Version 2 is now released.

The issues have been fixed with V2 now. The new changes look great and the customizability you've built into the theme is amazing! Getting one version to work with the 3 cover sizes is a great feat and really makes things convenient. Thank you for putting in all the work.

Glad your issue is resolved. Thanks for the kind words. I am very happy to have the theme where it is now, convenience was always the end goal. The more convient the better!

Hmm is it possible to make the game icons in the top list closer to each other?

Oh and I don't know if this is a bug or not but when i reset filters it still says in the bottom left that filters are active

Could you raise an issue on my GitHub please? https://github.com/davidkgriggs/PS5ish this will help me keep track. You can add screenshots to your issue.

Is there still a possibility to add sound in the background of the theme? how was some updates back?

It was broken and continued to play in the background after you started a game. Playnite version 9 will have background music support built in so best to wait for that and then it will work again correctly.

So at 1:1 the default icons look pretty good with uniform to fill now. However, it works at 10 columns and is broken at 12.



So I just keep it at 10.

Fill style is really a personal preference, I'll update the instructions to releflect that. Also you're using PS5ish Lite which only asks you to follow the settings screenshot which has the columns at 10. Only PS5ish requires 12, you may have read the wrong installation instructions. Glad your enjoying the theme.

The only thing if you can help please I can not configure the speakers in any way( That is, I do everything the same as you have in the instructions but everything goes like this...I want to see how you have in the first screenshots) In the old version 1.71, for some reason, the columns work as they should, except that the 14th game on the account for some reason goes down..I've tried everything...I do not know what else you can change( Please help me very much please

I'm glad you're enjoying the theme. You need to have Playnite closed when you change the columns to 12. As you can see from your screenshot you have 10 icons showing so you must not be editing the fullscreenConfig.json with Playnite closed as it is not changing. You should be able to count 12 full icons on screen once the change has been made.

I have a screen resolution of 3860) And I searched the page for what should be changed to 16..I changed it to 16 with a closed client but the icons in version 1.71 work exactly the same as you have here) But the only thing changing in the settings is 3:4,1:1,2; 4 when clicking the icons do not change for some reason...The only thing I would like is that the icons of the games themselves in full screen mode are closer to each other and all the games are in one column) In version 2.0, the icons themselves are far from each other( And I would like it to be as it should be

Sorry I'm not fully understanding, can you please tell me the following:
What version of PS5ish you're using, PS5ish or PS5ish Lite?
What version number are you using? 
What is your desktop resolution? 
And a screenshot of what it looks like? 

From your previous screenshot there was only 10 icons on screen so the change you're making to fullscreenConfig.json is not working it would seem, which is odd as it works for me and others. Hopefully with the information above I can help you.

OK you need to set it to 12 columns not 16 as you have a 16:9 Aspect Ratio resolution. It should then look like mine. I have my set up with the same resolution.

hello
First I want to really thank you for the great work and detailed step by step explanation for everything. I just want to ask is there any way to add background music to the theme? or this is still not supported by PLaynite? thank you

No problem, glad you're enjoying it! Technically it is broken, the music continues playing even after starting a game. However Playnite version 9 will have proper background music support built in so I'll add it all back then. 
My theme does support it now though, although as I said it will continue playing when you start a game. If you do want to add it though you just need to drop a music file with the name background.mp3 into the Music folder in the theme directory.
