Application themes: what is the timeline for desktop players?

Player Version#: 1.84.1.4069-ff740b6d

Hello,

I have been eagerly awaiting the implementation of application themes for the desktop player(s) since it was first announced for HTPCs and smart TVs in November 2021.

I have since switched from Windows to Linux and, to my knowledge, this is still not a feature on any of the desktop players. Is this still being looked at? Is there a timeline?

Futhermore, are new features for the desktop player still being actively developed or is it in maintenance mode in favour of focusing on HTPCs? There seem to be a lot of things that are only available for the HTPC player - it frustrates me since I have been hoping to see these things on desktop and they never seem to materialize.

I think the main pain point for me is that I am a Plex Pass user and I am not being given access to the same features that other Plex Pass users (namely, those that use a smart TV or HTPC player) have already had for over 2 years now. It’s plainly unfair.
