GameHUB2 is a Rainmeter launcher interface for PC with a dynamic layout system.
About Game Hub2
Game Hub2 is a game launcher for Windows PC that runs as a Rainmeter skin. It is a rewrite of the earlier GameHUB 1.5 and is not backward compatible with it. Its main feature is a dynamic layout system: layouts, lists, and apps are loaded from a single file, and users can swap between layouts. Several lists can be shown at the same time, and each list can hold its own set of apps.
Other documented features include a movie thumbnailer that builds a video list with thumbnails from a folder, and support for animated GIFs in launch circle entries. The project states that Windows 10 and Rainmeter 4.3 or later (latest beta) are required, and that hardware acceleration is recommended. The author notes that performance may lag when multiple lists are shown.
