First post! :D Thanks feilyne for setting up the forum.

But onto the relevant information, continuing a discussion that was started here as I feel it useful to separate the technical discussion on themeing (which better suits this forum) and the discussion on general details of how to improve the game list categorisation (better on the Feature Request forum).

Background info: I'm trying to use the theme files (Desura/data/themes) to create a new theme that allows you to sort by Genre and type (single or multiplayer) columns as well as the ability to show/hide demos in the game list.

@Lodle

I just read through the API (in Desura/data/bindings/*.js files) - I'm assuming that APIgen program you linked just displays them in a different format (rather than showing me new information)?

I can't find anything to do with the genre in native_binding_iteminfo.js - there's getRating(), getDev(), etc but no functions for getGenre(), getTheme(), getProject, getPlayers(), getBoxshot() or anything named similarly.

Are there C++ functions exposed for this information (particularly Genre & Single/Multi Player fields) that just haven't been bound?

The api gen just makes it into a html file (more readable)

Wasnt sure if i added them to the api or not. The client knows about genre but not sp/mp info and ill look at adding it to the js api when i have time.

getBoxShot is the same as getLogo
