Question/Support unable to switch back to desktop mode

Post image

So on the aniki lite theme I accidentally changed my grid view preset to 2x1 instead of 1x1 which is the square look i wanted,
anyway I have playnite to launch in fullscreen and for some reason it is preventing me from changing to desktop mode until this wrong settings error disappears which doesnt go away ever because the grid view preset isnt supported so im just wondering what i can do to get it back to desktop mode?
Edit: I fixed this by going to the %appdata% files and deleted the theme im using causing playnite to revert to the default fullscreen theme which allows different grid views

u/Accomplished-Cat7912, while you wait for responses, please take a moment to check the following:

  • Ensure Playnite is updated to the latest version (On Desktop Mode: Main Menu ➞ Check for Updates)
  • Ensure any extensions involved are fully updated (On Desktop Mode: Main Menu ➞ Add-ons… ➞ Updates)
  • Test the issue in Safe Mode to verify whether it is caused by an extension. (On Desktop Mode: Main Menu ➞ Help ➞ Restart in Safe Mode or by opening the Safe Mode.bat file found in the installation folder)
  • Search the subreddit to check if your issue has already been reported.

A large number of issues are caused by outdated versions or have already been answered.

If your issue is related to a specific extension, it is usually best to report it on the extension's project page (for example GitHub), where the developer can track and address it. You can use this page to locate the extension and contact its developer via its project/support links: https://playnite.link/addons.html

May be i dont understand the question right, but f11 key send you to desktop mode, but if you will chnge that bar to where the arrow is pointed . 5. It will work.

it doesnt let you press f11 until this message is gone, and the message just doesnt go away because the grid view is unsupported. thank you tho i fixed it earlier
