eMixedNiteMC - A tweaked version of eMixedNite

[SnG_17]

Hi!

Can someone tell me what the exact grid list and grid view values are? Also how can I get them to stay on those values after relaunching? On the third slider for the grid list, I set it so that 3 games were showing per row on the left, like in the pictures above, but every time I close playnite and relaunch, I have to try and re-set that slider again as only 2 games show per row.

The controls in the main Playnite grid view are "quick" controls and are intentionally not saved. If you want to make a change permanent you need to use the Addons menu.

F9 -> Extension Settings -> Generic -> Theme Modifier

Any changes saved there will become the new default.

So is there any manual, tutorial or so? the setting name got me confused sometimes. there is no explanation of which is which.

There is no documentation available right now, it was something I wanted to do but never took the time to do it. Ill try to add a better description for each option and some screenshot in the eMixedNiteMC Github Wiki in the next weeks or so.

Thank you Mellified for the support you have given to others here during my absence, it is much appreciated.

After updating (I have also installed the language pack) I have noticed the Riot launcher banner has disappeared from Valorant and replaced with the Xbox Windows banner.

I do believe that your Riot banner has been erased during the update because I did not included one(I just realized it), I will try to add all the missing one soon. The thing I dont understand is why your game get the Xbox banner. The theme will load the banners accordingly to the platform of the game and after that the library one, on top of the platform one(so you dont see it) if there is one. Did you replace your Riot banner in the banner folder, in the theme/images directory?

Im glad you like it. For the links it depends on the Metadata you download, like "Community Hub" link was added by Steam Metadata. (Steam Library and plugin can do it.) Store Page comes with almost all launcher if im not mistaken, some even right during importation. The nexus link was added by the extention Nexus Mod Checker, I added some manually and you can find some usefull link by searching metadata with IGDB too. 

A nice trick to know is that you can link file from your computer there too by using this kind of link.

Amazing work, and thank you for the additional metadata features in the MC edition here. I had some questions though:

When in Grid View, is there any way to have the controls visible over the trailer/background graphic go completely transparent until hover? The X button in the top right is distracting as I almost never close this panel, but it shares the same coloring as all other theme buttons.

And is there any way to have the top title bar also styled to be without a background, enabling a more "borderless" view? Akin to what is possible in the Default theme?

Hey im so glad you finally fixed the Logos being disproportionate a lot of times, it looks great
but now Im having an Issue where there is a big space between the play button / logo and the description

Thanks. Sure, Here's what you need to know.

For the Video Controls 
It can be set in the ExtraMetadata Loader settings found in the add-ons menu (F9). 
Add-ons Menu(F9) --> Extensions settings --> Generic --> Extra Metadata Loader --> Video settings
Scroll down and check these two options at the end of the General Settings section.

Set "Opacity of video controls" to "0" and
Set "Opacity of video controls when hovering video" to "1"

For the Quick Settings, Top part visibility and Trailer/Video visibility button 
There is currently no option to achieve this at the moment. But you can do it by changing these 
lines in these files. You can open the theme installation folder in the add-ons menu.
Add-ons Menu --> Installed --> Themes Desktop --> eMixedNiteMC
Look for the link Installation folder under the Uninstall button.

Quick Settings Button:
Replace this line, in View/GridViewGameOverview.xaml (For Grid View)

Line 142:
Foreground="{DynamicResource ButtonBackgroundBrush}" Name="MainCheckIcon"

With this one

Line 142:
Foreground="Transparent" Name="MainCheckIcon"

Replace this line, in View/DetailsViewGameOverview.xaml (For Details View)

Line 109:
Foreground="{DynamicResource ButtonBackgroundBrush}" Name="MainCheckIcon"

With this one

Line 109:
Foreground="Transparent" Name="MainCheckIcon"

Top part visibility and Trailer/Video visibility button:
Copy this file to DefaultControls folder inside the theme installation folder and overwrite existing file.
ToggleButton.xaml

It can be done for the Features panel when set on Top and the Close button as well. Dont hesitate to ask if you need help with these too.
I will eventually add an option for all these button, but can't say when.

For the Top Title bar:
You can normally set it in ThemeModifier constant menu. But there is currently a bug when trying to change color in
Constant menu of ThemeModifier (Still trying to figure out this one, probably something on my end) and the value does not save. 
Until its fixed, you need to change it manually in the constant file in the theme installation folder.
The setting is called Top/icon panel Background color and can be found under the General Panels Settings section.
You will want to change the Side panel icon background color setting too if you use the Side Panel.

Change these lines, in the file Constants.xaml

Line 50 and 51
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="TopPanelBrush" Color="#FF262626" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="SideIconBrush" Color="#FF262626" />

With these lines

Line 50 and 51
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="TopPanelBrush" Color="Transparent" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="SideIconBrush" Color="Transparent" />

Hey im so glad you finally fixed the Logos being disproportionate a lot of times, it looks great

I did not see that one, thanks for mentioning it. These are Icons/Labels of HowLongToBeat and SuccessStory, but they are not supposed to be visible when you dont have them installed(I assumed that you did not installed them). I will release an update to fix this as soon as possible.

Also, may I suggest that you enable the Source options under Settings(F4) --> Appearance --> Details View so the Source Icon/Labels will be shown like this. But the Source field should not appear when option is disabled so I will try to fix this too in next update.

There is a link in the first post for all the suggested settings.

After a number of adjustments, I have the theme almost exactly the way I want it now. Two things elude me...
1. Earlier versions would pause the video whenever the Playnite window lost focus. Now however, the video keeps playing. Is that a known issue? Is there a setting I missed?
2. You can see duplicate feature icons in the top right of the game detail pane. There's an option that seems to say I could collapse identical icons into one, but it doesn't do anything. Is there a something I missed?

Hi Mellified!
For the video not pausing anymore when Playnite loses focus happened when I added full support for MetadataLoader and I remember seing that the video would not pause anymore when loosing focus after an update of MetadataLoader a while back. Im not sure if there is something I could do for this, Ill can to check it out though.

For the duplicate feature icons not respecting the plugin settings, I did not know about this option so thank you, you did not miss anything as it was just not supported yet. I added support for it in v2.77 but only when set on "Top Part".

I have 2 issues and a suggestion.

Suggestion: PlayerActivities support.

Issue 1: Source is blank for every game in the details panel. The source is viewable in the other view however.

Issue 2: The game details keep misaligning. https://i.imgur.com/PqBY3pu.jpg

[lionnesquaer]

Hello!

Im like your theme, and tweaked almost all that i need, exept game logo size. Is there option to change this? im looked almost everythere and dont find it. i want to make it smaller.

For PlayerActivities support, I would love to but there is nothing to support yet. If im not mistaken, the only things this plugin add to the UI are both buttons in top bar and side panel that can already be activated in the Add-ons menu(F9).

For your Firs Issue, I could not repoduce it. Having a view showing the source and not the other one. I worked on this particular part in v2.80 though. Are you sure that you have enable the Source checkbox settings under Playnite Settings(F4) --> Appearance --> Details View and that you have a Source selected in the Game Details(F3)?

For your Second Issue, thank you for mentionning it, its now fix in latest update v2.81. You can change the horizontal alignement in the constant menu of ThemeModifier.

Im glad you like it, you can change logo size in the settings of Extra MetaData Loader found in the Add-ons Menu(F9).
Add-ons Menu(F9) --> Extensions settings --> Generic --> Extra Metadata Loader --> Logos settings
The settings you search for will be at the beginning of the Logo loader settings section at the bottom of the page.

Yes, thats that im looking for! Thank you for your help and for your work!

Do you have any suggestions on how to unblur the grid view image?
I can't seem to find a setting for this anywhere.
Not the whole background, just the image on the right above the Play button, etc.
