So I figured out my issue with the logos disappearing in SIMPLEish and it actually had nothing to do with your Theme Modifier. It was ExtraMetadata (EMD) messing it up. I don't use EMD for logos but it looks like SIMPLEish will exclusively look for EMD logos if EMD is installed.

Yes it will. When Extra Metadata Tools is installed there is a flag that becomes "true" so my themes will then look for logos from there. You really should give it a go using Extra Metadata Tools, you can just select all your games and choose search for logo and it will automatically download them. Makes it super easy.

I have a problem with the DKG Theme modifier related to the PS5ish theme. The theme normally works fine, but whenever i decide to use the single row option, the theme breaks and reverts back to the default theme, even while ps5ish is the theme in use. when i turn it back to XMB the theme is fixed again. Any idea why this is happening?

Updated to v1.1.2
- PS5ish Animated Intro time option removed, instead change the time to 1 second, this allows all other animations to execute properly.
- PS5ish changed option from "Title" to "Platform Title" this now removes the platform from the end of the title on the main page, to remove the title on the main page you can just disable game titles in the Playnite settings in fullscreen mode.
- Video covers option added for XBOXSERIESish.

Updated to v1.1.1
Features:
- Game Deatils Icon option added for SIMPLEish.
- Description font size option added for SIMPLEish.

Hi David, these are fantasic themes.

However I cannot get Steam/Origin etc banners to display as you have demonstrated in the theme videos.

I've used Extra Metadata Tools to add a logo (a downloaded .png banner) to a few games. I've F11'd to Fullscreen mode, changed the theme and F11'd back (no restart as instructed). When this didn't work, I've tried restarting Playnite and even replaced the standard game logo icon with the banner in case the theme may pick it up from there but nothing solves the issue. I've done these steps with the XBOXSERIESish and CONSOLEishONE themes ensuring the 'Enable Banners' is enabled.

Do you have any suggestions?

There is a banners thread on this forum that discusses the process of adding banners, and has loads of banner images to use. It is done in the libraries>platforms settings section in desktop mode.

Thanks, I got there in the end. Confusion with three similar things which to help clarify for anyone else are:

- Icon under the Platform catagory (it's this one)
- Icon under each games' media tab
- Logos under the Extra Metadata Tools

Using the Platform catagory icon means for PC titles there's a need to create seperate PC catagories (eg. PC-Steam, PC-GoG, PC-Origin etc) thus duplicating what is already captured as Source metadata. It's a shame icons can't be assigned to other filters to prevent this.

I just installed v2.2.2 under Playnite 9
It does not seem to be working. I tried:
-For ModernUI to enable/disable displaying text descriptions and to switch between displaying game logos or titles. Neither change was reflected when I switched to Fullscreen mode.
-For PS5ish to switch between default and single row mode; and to enable/disable the PS5 store icon and button. Again neither change was reflected upon switching to Fullscreen mode.
Is it just me or is this version still in the works?
If that's just me, any suggestion about how to troubleshoot that?

Anyways thanks a ton for sharing these fantastic themes.
Cheers

Did you apply the changes with the new Apply Changes button? You need to apply the changes now rather than it doing it automatically. This is to fix a bug that breaks themes when shutting down or restarting.

I believe I did but ok, thanks. I will try again and report back.

I am unable to install DKG Theme Modifier on Playnite 9. I downloaded v 2.4.1 on Github and ran it - Playnite asks to restart, then nothing happens. 

I've also attempted to install PlayniteModernUI v 1.3.1, but that's not showing up under "Themes," so I figured I needed the DKG Theme Modifier.

I run into issues trying to follow the installation directions, as my copy of Playnite does not have "Plugins":

In Desktop Mode go to Settings, Plugins, DKG Theme Modifier like the screenshot below, you can then choose to check for Modifier updates, you will then see tabs for each theme you have installed:

-- Setup --
In Desktop Mode Enable the DKG Theme Switcher:


You will then see tabs for any of my themes you have installed. Open the Extra Metadata Tools Background Music + Video folder and drop in the appropriate files.

Mine looks like this:

Did I miss a step somewhere?

You didn't miss a step, there's been a change. I was having the same issue. The Extensions-tab gives a hint. 
It's been moved to Add-Ons.

Go to Add-Ons (F9)
Extension Settings
  Generic
    DKG Theme Modifier

The rest is the same it seems. It just moved from Settings to Add-Ons.
