This is honestly the best skin and the way i wanted playnite to look.
Only issue i have is that you seemed to have made the cover image a square? or but it too low. You should have just made the it a bit smaller and still keeping it like a rectangle like before. Other than that its awesome

I've added this to reddit theme list for people to find easily. Also new update will link to that thread from application itself.

Alright I'll be giving it a try and yes its 1080p but the scaling is by default on my laptop 125%, since and having it at 100% makes everything much too small.

Update: I've updated and still the issue persist :/

I'll patiently wait for v1.3 of this theme :)

@Evene174 Don't use margins to offset the whole layout like you do. It will break in case of different DPI scaling, exactly like ArtexJay posted. If you need to offset the panel more to bottom just change the row scaling of parent grid. For example this specifies that two rows in grid will scale dynamically to fit 40% and 60% percent of the space respectively:

<Grid.RowDefinitions>
   <RowDefinition Height="4*"/>
   <RowDefinition Height="6*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>

Great theme! The problem i have apart from the scaling problem is that the "install" button is partially under the "more" button. The "play" button however is just fine as shown in the screenshot.

It is really a great theme, but it doesn't working well as it should be =(
The steam games all look terrible , but battle net is nice ! The background of steam games seem vague unlike the battle net. Maybe it has something to do with the image downloaded from the database, I don't know :p
You will know what I mean .....

And the button doesn't work on my PC, I clicked it but nothing happened

[Evene174]

@DSPAUL Fixed in 1.3,thanks for feedback.
@L1cardo It's very strange that the button doesn't work, try to update to latest version.
I tried on several different PCs - did not encounter such a problem, as well as other people.
The theme is aimed at using colorful wallpapers (for example - your Overwatch) and shading at bottom which is used to read the text. I advise you to replace badly-combined images, because for all variants I can't choose a combination of shading and the visibility of the background.

@ArtexJay @L1cardo
Completely rewrote the code in 1.4, i checked - it works on most resolutions now.

Now it's the best Theme! Yay

[bocest1986]

Love the theme, I get why everything is aligned to the bottom of the screen but the now open space would be perfect for a video window playing the game trailer or a gameplay video

[ArtexJay]

YES! This would be an awesome suggestion!

[JosefNemec]

Forgot to mention this before 4.0 release, but custom themes will be broken in Playnite 4. There has been some changes to localization strings and other stuff that will break your theme. It's one of the reasons why themming is being completely rewritten in #510. I'm sorry for the issues and not notifying you earlier.

[Evene174]

Yep, i can confirm that theme don't work with 4.1. If your program does not work correctly after upgrading to 4.1. - delete this theme.
In the near future, I have no plans to rewrite it under 4.1, I want to wait for Joseph and his edits to full-screen mode/normal themes, after which I adapt it to the future actual version.

[ArtexJay]

I will patiently wait, for your theme to support the upcoming version!

[Pikelot]

The theme doesn't work to me ;-; plz help

[JosefNemec]

@Pikelot As I said in my previous post. Existing themes are broken with 4.0 release and new proper theming is coming with #510 If you need to revert back then you can use F4 hotkey to get back to settings.

[Pikelot]

@JosefNemec Oh, thank you

[JosefNemec]

I'm closing this since it won't be compatible with 5.0 theming changes, plus we should use different place to manage 3rd party themes (probably new forums in near future).
