What is it?

Selene is a fullscreen theme for Playnite, the open-source game library manager for Windows. It gives your library a console-like interface designed for controller use, and it ships as two files: the theme itself and Selene Core, an add-on that adds the extra screens and behaviors.

Selene Core brings a Spotlight row that shows your cards and games, per-profile settings with 23 color themes (dark and light), a store view for free games, sales and new releases, and screens for achievements, play-time activity and captured clips. A launch screen keeps game art visible until the game is actually on screen. Everything the add-on adds can be switched off in its settings.

The project requires Playnite 10 or newer on Windows 10 or 11, and it is built with WPF and C#. It is MIT-licensed and includes build and packaging scripts for building from source.
