Achievement Progress Display in Default Theme

šŸ“‹ Summary

Display achievement progress beneath the game name in the default LaunchBox theme—supporting platforms like RetroAchievements, Steam, and GOG. While this is already possible in custom themes like Omni, this request is to make it available out-of-the-box for all users.


šŸŽÆ Feature Overview

Add a compact progress indicator in the default theme that shows how far a player has progressed through available achievements for a game. Ideally, this would:

  • Display a progress bar or percentage (e.g. ā€œ67% completeā€)

  • Show details on hover or click (e.g. ā€œ14 of 53 achievements unlockedā€)

  • Work with multiple achievement sources, including:

    • RetroAchievements

    • Steam

    • GOG Galaxy (where available)


šŸ›  Example Use Case

  • A user browsing their library can instantly spot games where they’ve made progress, or where achievements are fully completed.

  • On mouseover: ā€œ23 of 48 achievements earnedā€

  • Without interaction: a simple progress bar or percentage below the game title or image.


šŸ“¦ Benefits

  • Helps users prioritize what to play next based on unfinished achievements

  • Adds visibility into long-term progress across various platforms

  • Provides a small but satisfying motivational boost to completionists

  • Makes achievement-aware game sorting and curation easier (e.g. creating playlists of ā€œin progressā€ games)


šŸ’” Notes

  • Custom themes like Omni already allow for this, but many users stick with the default theme and would benefit from built-in support.

  • Could be made optional via view settings.

  • Extensible for future achievement integrations beyond Steam, GOG, and RetroAchievements.

    Retroachievements progress box/field under the gamename (1-100%)

    For Retroachievement user with a few hundred games in progress a box under the gamename would be a awesome feature. for example with mouse over shows (14 from 53 Achievements) and without mouse over maybe a percent progress line (1-100%) or maybe a option to chose what everyone prefer. this helps many for big player and in my mind look great in the design.

    thank you for the attention and please give this feature a vote for a chance to coming that in a future update <3
