PlayniteRevisitedSkin

It's just a Playnite default Fullscreen skin with some modifications inspired by PlayOS and DH_Blur.

This skin supports these extensions :

Main :

Main

Details View :

You can use a simple background image with a logo included : Detail

Or use a Clear background and add a logo : Detail For adding a logo, you can use :

  • Extra Metadata Loader's Logo (requires Extra Metadata Loader)
  • Place manually your Logo in <Playnite configuration path>\ExtraMetadata\<Game database Id>\Logo.png (requires manual folders creation)
  • Use Playnite Icon media field

To show logo, you have to do a tiny workaround explained in Appearance section Canvas size for a 1080p display is 650x630

Appearance

You can change appearance of Details view by changing Item spacing value
(the real item spacing parameter is defined internally and cannot be modified)

Settings

0 : Show icon/logo only (if not found, show title instead)

1 : Show icon/logo and title

Everything else : Show title only

Shortcuts

Down : Show game description and some extra infos Description

Up : Hide UI and icon/logo (to admire your beautiful background !) Description

Status View :

Status

By default, only the background is shown, to show buttons just go down and buttons shows up!

Extras

This theme support extra file called ClearBackground, it's a game background without logo

For example, istead use a Clear background as background and Extra Metadata (or icon) for logo, you can :

  • Create an background with logo (from a Clear Background and a Logo)
  • Use it as Background into Playnite
  • Copy your Clear Background in <Playnite configuration path>\ExtraMetadata\<Game database Id>\ClearBackground.jpg

This theme automatically detects it and show it in status view and in Details view when Up shortcut is pressed

Example :

Example

Some ideas to implement one day :

  • Change appearance of Main view
  • Modify Detail View to make it minimalistic
  • Transform Status view to add it game background
  • Add advanced infos to detail view by pressing a key
  • Add possibility to show icon in Detail view
  • Add BackgroundChanger support
  • Add Extra Metadata Loader support (Logos)
  • Add Back to Game button in status view
  • Add ClearBackground support (replace background image in Status view)
  • Add some modifiable skin settings (icon show, title show, Play item position, theme color, ...) (with Theme Options or a future version of Playnite)
  • Add custom buttons color in Detail View (inspired by ReskinPS5)
  • Add SuccessStory entry to Advanced details
  • Add HowLongToBeat entry to Advanced details
  • Add tools to Playnite menu (not by myself, added in Playnite 10.36)
  • Add a music player to Detail View which plays a game-specific music (possible but unusable at theme-side, I let prototype in Main.xaml for archive, you better use PlayniteSound)
