Option to assign icons to game fields #1683

Open unrealed opened 4 years ago

unrealed commented 4 years ago

In Details View, it would be really nice to have icons over the bottom right of the background image that each represents different features and/or tags the currently-viewed game has. For reference, see the ones on Steam's bottom right of the banner.

Ideally, these new icons could be changed in a new settings category. There you would ideally be able to see each tag, which images to use for which icon (ideally a number of them would be pre-set-up by you guys), which tags/features to even display on the background image, and if you even want tags and/or features to be displayed as icons. Another nice setting would be whether you also want to hide the text list of features/tags on the left of the description in the Details View.

I also second that: The possibility to associate icons to Categories, Genres and Features and an option to display those icons instead of plain text values (with the plain text description displaying as a delayed tooltip when hovering over the icon).

Should be definitely done before or together with #1278, otherwise Explorer in Fullscreen mode will look really sad.

It would be really cool to have some sort of icon or ribbon to show completion status, platform etc. in Grid View too, on the cover art (i.e. for SteamGrid Helper people were able to make 600x900 transparent png files with overlays and then the software assigned a png for each category, source, etc. to put on the cover art)

Apparently, this issue can be used for icons for any and all fields and views, so copying the contents from my closed issue about the games list and the current themes' completion status and favourites implementation (was trying to err on the granular side, as it seemed like an easier one to accomplish, apologies).

Currently, there are a few themes that implement showing game completion status and favourite status as an icon in the games list (see example from eMixedNite). This should ideally be theme-agnostic, as it is adding visibility and usability to one of the best features of Playnite.

The only solution (until then) is to use Emojis
