PSPLUSTilesTheme

An unofficial custom theme for the Playstation Plus app with search. Inspired by this gist by aquelemiguel. Tested with version 12.0 and 12.2.

The theme introduces the following changes:

• Remove sliders
• Show games as tiles rather than sliders/carousels
• Sticky headers for game sections on scroll
• Game search with live result update
• Move play history to the top
• Display platform badge

Tested on the UK locale.

Installation

NOTE: The installation is manual, and always will be. While it is possible to create an installer, the manual installation allows you to see what is being changed. Review every change you make. There will never be an installer for this to not give anyone the opportunity to inject malicious content.

Prerequisites

• A recent version of npm

Unpacking app.asar

Open a terminal as an administrator. Navigate to the resources folder in the launcher installation directory:

$ cd C:\Program Files (x86)\PlayStationPlus\agl\resources

There should be an app.asar file in this folder. asar is an archive format for compressing your Electron app. We need to unpack it to have access to the project's files.

$ npx asar extract app.asar app

This generates an app folder in the same directory. Rename the old app.asar to app.asar.bak to make the launcher prefer the new folder.

Editing preload_context_isolation.js

Open app/html/preload_context_isolation.js in a text editor as an administrator.

Identify this line near the top of the file (should be line 3):

var GKP = function () {

Directly underneath it, copy and paste the code from code.js and save the file.

If you encounter permission errors, this is because you haven't opened the text editor as an administrator. Either reopen the application, or save a copy, and the move the copy to the original folder - Windows should then prompt you to approve the copy process.
