Major update: Added lots of new themes (big thanks to Al. Lopez for most of them). Added support for PS5 DualSense controller. The entire backend has been rewritten and this rewrite is still in progress so this should be considered a "stopgap" release to provide PS5 controller support and new themes for users. This new backend includes features such as hot-plug detection and third party DualShock 4 fixes.
