GameDetailsView.xaml

Im trying to change my current theme (It's the Ricewind theme, but with a few modifications) to display the Default theme Clear Logo /Background animation on the game details on the right side.

Haven't figured it out what lines I need to Copy/Paste or replace, so (as sugested by C-Beats, thanks) im here trying to get a bit of your help!
I attach my current XAML, and a little gif of what im trying to accomplish

You may have luck looking into the default plus theme, which I believe that bit of code was grabbed from.

If you have issues reading the xaml, let me know and I'll find some time to get the right lines for you.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried to look into Default Plus, but unfortunately, that anymation doesnt exist in that theme either (or it does not work on my end)
We (ppl of discord) found that the Default theme has that animation, but looking into the XAML code, I couldn't find the exact section of the code I need to copy/replace to make it work.

Would really appreciate if you can point me to the right section, or even better, throw it in a .txt, so I can paste it on my theme

Thanks in advance!

As we discussed a bit in discord. The event trigger firing off the loaded event needed migrated to a data trigger that fired on the IsLoaded binding being set to true, and then reset everything when it's false. Attached should work but I admit I didn't try it.

Sorry! didnt had time to check ot until now, it works lke a charm!

Mind you if I ask what lines where changed? so I can check them out and hopefully learn something. Also I want to take notes on everything I changed on that theme, so I can revert/re-add the changes again when I update it!

 

Edit: Maybe i'll try to change the animation timings a little bit, since they seem a bit off... well if I know how

Don't really remember what lines. Just look for EventTrigger in the old file, and see that it's been changed out for a DataTrigger pair.

Thanks, I found the changes

The background animation works fine, is there any way to change the Logo animation, so it looks like in the first example I posted?
Now it looks like this:

Now it looks like this:

Yeah, just in the FALSE datatrigger set opacity to 0, then in the TRUE make sure opacity animates to 1

Make sure Opacity setting set as a property on the control and is only set via the style. If you have a property attached it'll overwrite it. Style should default Opacity to 0

I'm not sure on that part, that's what I have on the Clear Logo section (hope it's the right one)
