eMixedNiteMC - A tweaked version of eMixedNite

Perfect, thank you very much! Thank you for your work.

Edit: Is there a way to disable the dimming of the covers? Except for the selected game, the other games are quite obscured.

Check in the constant section of theme modifer and change "Grid list darkened effect for grid view items" in the "Game List Items Settings"
Only thing is theres a bug when trying to change color in constant menu. Im still not sure if the problem come from ThemeModifier or this theme. until a solution is found, you can change it manually in the Constants.yml file in the theme installation folder.

To remove the Darken effect, change this line in the Constants.yml file, Line 47.

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="GameGridItemtBrush" Color="#36000000" />

With this one.

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="GameGridItemtBrush" Color="Transparent" />

If you just want to attenuate the effect, you could divise it by 2 using this line.

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="GameGridItemtBrush" Color="#18000000" />

Thank you, you have been a great help to me. I have a couple more queries:



1. Is it possible to remove "grid list button on the cover"? That appears every time I select a game or cover (that is, I want the option to "install" and "game details" disappear every time I pass the cursor for the covers).



2. Is it possible to remove the icon for "Gried View Quick Settings Wheel (upper right)" and "Quick Settings Wheel (lower left)" from the theme?



3. I have a problem with the "Source" icon, nothing appears. For what is this?

Yes sure thing! Theres is no option for it though so heres what you need to do.

For the grid list button in the cover: (If you want to keep DuplicateHider icon)
Replace these lines, in DerivedStyle/GridViewItemTemplate.xaml

Line 205:
<Border Background="{DynamicResource WindowBackgourndBrush}"
Line 209:
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">

With These lines:

Line 205:
<Border Background="Transparent"
Line 209:
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Visibility="Collapsed">

Or for the grid list button in the cover: (If dont want to keep DuplicateHider icon)
Replace this line, in DerivedStyle/GridViewItemTemplate.xaml

Line 204:
<Grid>

With this one

Line 204:
<Grid Visibility="Collapsed">

For removing both Quick Settings Wheel icon: (This will keep the icon but only when you hover it with your cursor)
Replace this line, in Views/DetailsViewGameOverview.xaml

Line 155:
Foreground="{DynamicResource ButtonBackgroundBrush}" Name="MainCheckIcon"

With this one

Line 155:
Foreground="Transparent" Name="MainCheckIcon"

Replace this line, in Views/GridViewGameOverview.xaml

Line 185:
Foreground="{DynamicResource ButtonBackgroundBrush}" Name="MainCheckIcon"

With this one

Line 185:
Foreground="Transparent" Name="MainCheckIcon"

Replace these lines, in Views/LibraryDetailsView.xaml

Line 81:
Foreground="{DynamicResource ButtonBackgroundBrush}" Name="MainCheckIcon"
Line 85:
Foreground="{DynamicResource TextBrushDark}" Name="CheckedIcon"/>

With these lines

Line 81:
Foreground="Transparent" Name="MainCheckIcon"
Line 85:
Foreground="Transparent" Name="CheckedIcon"/>

Finally replace these lines, in Views/LibraryGridView.xaml

Line 73:
Foreground="{DynamicResource ButtonBackgroundBrush}" Name="MainCheckIcon"
Line 77:
Foreground="{DynamicResource TextBrushDark}" Name="CheckedIcon"/>

With these lines

Line 73:
Foreground="Transparent" Name="MainCheckIcon"
Line 77:
Foreground="Transparent" Name="CheckedIcon"/>

For the Source Icon, you must check the checkbox "Source" in Playnite Settings --> Appearance --> Details View  
for the Source title to be shown.

I like having it there as you can set it like you want, and library like Steam automatically set it. So if you have game 
in the Viveport launcher, or Kartridge or any others launcher that playnite does not support at the moment you can set
your Source to the right launcher. You can also use it to show wich emulator is used like Retroarch, RPCS3, PCSX2 etc..
So be sure to have something in the Source field of each game. I use "Others" for all my manually imported games that
dont have a launcher like Guild Wars 2 or Elder Scrolls Online, or my physical owned game.
(You can filter and then mass edit using ctrl+a to select all currently filtered game)

Thanks for all the updates! I just started using square covers and I was wondering if it's possible to have a toggle to remove the banner on the details pane or a way to remove it. Some of the banners seem to stretch out when using square covers. Also, I would be able to have it on when using details view but off when using grid view. Thanks again!

[eskypi]

You are a true genius, I have never met someone so brilliant. Thank you very much for all my friend

PS: Sorry, I won't be heavier. But I would appreciate if you could also tell me how to hide or remove these buttons.

And is it possible to reduce the thickness of the square quite a bit when selecting a game?

There is already options for all of this. You can try them out with either both quick settings wheel. When using a slider settings, you can use the arrow to decrease/increase value 1 by 1 to get the desired result, and when you have the value you need (Hover the slider cursor with your mouse to get the actual value) go in the constant menu of ThemeModifier to enter them. The one you need should be in the "Banner/Cover Settings".


ThemeModifier Constant menu can be access with this button(in red)
Need to be activated in ThemeModifier appearance settings in Add-ons menu(F9)




These are the Quick settings wheel and when you click on it you will have access to all banners settings and more to configure the theme like you want. Each view can be set differently, but all settings changed in the Quick Settings wheel will be reset to the values in the constant file on restart of Playnite. Thats why you then need to enter them in the Constant menu when you have the desired settings values.

Really enjoying this version of the theme, but was wondering if it's possible to increase the height of the logos beyond the default max of 115? Some of the more narrow logos end up looking rather small and I wouldn't mind an increase.

Could there also be a chance of implementing an option for the max logo width as well?

Yeah ok here is what you need to do:

To remove the Video Toggle Button, copy this file to DefaultControls folder inside the theme installation folder and overwrite existing file.
ToggleButton.xaml

And to reduce thickness of Selected Game Cover Outline, change this line in DerivedStyles/GridViewItemStyle.xaml

Line 22:
<Border x:Name="SelectionBorder" BorderThickness="5" Margin="-5"

With this line

Line 22:
<Border x:Name="SelectionBorder" BorderThickness="3" Margin="-3"

Change both 3 and -3 values to your desired thickness. I used 5 for default.
(both number need to be the same but the second must be negative)

Great job! Can you help me remove this "x" so that I can see the wallpapers better?

Yes you can, but be aware that it can push the top panel down if the logo is too big.
Here's what you need to do:

Change these lines in thememodifier.yaml

Line 5:
  - DetailViewLogoMaxHeight(25,115): Details view logo max height
Line 10:
  - GridViewLogoMaxHeight(25,115): Grid view logo max height

With these lines

Line 5:
  - DetailViewLogoMaxHeight(25,230): Details view logo max height
Line 10:
  - GridViewLogoMaxHeight(25,230): Grid view logo max height

You can change the number 230 to your desired maximum value if not enough

And for adding an option for the logo's width, I fear it would mess up too much with the aspect ratio. Ill check it out though!

[MCC321]

Great job! Can you help me remove this "x" so that I can see the wallpapers better?

Yes sure, Here's what you need to do:

Change this line in Views/GridViewGameOverview.xaml (This will give opacity to the button)

Line 354:
Command="{MainViewModel CloseGameSideBarCommand}"

With this line

Line 354:
Command="{MainViewModel CloseGameSideBarCommand}" Opacity="{DynamicResource GridFeatureTopPanelOpacity}"

Like this you can control Opacity with the option "Grid view features panel opacity when on top part" in the Constant Menu under "General Panels Settings". You can also use a number instead of "{DynamicResource GridFeatureTopPanelOpacity}" 0 is invisible and 9 is no opacity. With this method, you can "remove it" by setting it to "0" but still use it cause its still there. Bare in mind that setting to "0" will keep the margin between Features Panel and Scrollbar. I think "2" or "3" would be best. 

Or Change this line in Views/GridViewGameOverview.xaml: (If you just want to remove it and never use this close button again)  

Line 354:
Command="{MainViewModel CloseGameSideBarCommand}"

With this line

Line 354:
Command="{MainViewModel CloseGameSideBarCommand}" Visibility="Collapsed"

This method will also remove margin between Features Panel and Scrollbar.

Thanks!

I was wondering if it is also possible to change the orange Playnite icon (top left) for the black and white version that is more minimalist.

To do this you can simply put one of these (applogo.png) in the Images folder inside the theme installation folder.

Link: applogo.png

Link: applogo.png

Link: applogo.png

These are the default one, but you can use any logo there. Just name it applogo.png and copy the image directly in the images folder of the theme.
(Must be .png file)

Is it possible to integrate the BackgroundChanger extension with the theme?

[Beelzabi]

Here's an example.

Could it be possible to change source banners, like Steam and Epic Games, and add custom ones like Oculus?

It sure would be a nice feature to add! Ill check it out but Im not confirming that it will be added.

Thanks!
The only thing I can see that can affect covers like this would be the following option in Playnite settings: 
Settings(F4) ---> Appearance ---> Grid View

Set the "Strech mode" setting to "Uniform to fill".
Im guessing it was not set to that option right? Cause if it was set to the right option, It means I need to investigate more.

I also suggest you use my settings if you want same result as in the screenshot in first post.
There is also a custom title font installer to have title font like in the screenshots and information to set your banners.
Check Step 2, Step 3 and Final Step in first post for more info.
