From the project

Steam Machine e-ink faceplate with a Now Playing mode: box art, playtime, achievements. Fork of Valve's Inkterface.

An e-ink faceplate for your Steam Machine that shows the box art, playtime, and achievement progress of whatever you're playing — plus all the original system telemetry readouts.

Now Playing artwork mode: when you launch a game, the panel switches to that game's box art with your total playtime and achievement progress rendered next to it (dithered for the e-ink look). When you quit, it goes back to the regular telemetry layout. Toggle it with the Box Art button in the configure screen. Game collectors: Game Time and Achievements readouts you can put in any panel field, alongside the stock…
