romkilla Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Hello, i just want to know if it is possible to move and edit (size/font) the text in the main screen. Any help will be awsome. Thanks. Edited February 1, 2017 by romkilla Quote
neil9000 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Quick answer YES, Better answer difficult unless you understand XAML. Have you tried a different view on that theme? Or maybe better try looking at the theme download section, and see if anything takes your fancy. https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/category/2-big-box-custom-themes/ 1 Quote
DOS76 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Try asking the creator of the theme what code you would need to change there are alot of those requests and most of the creators are very accommodating 2 Quote
neil9000 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Good point @DOS76, was just pointing a first time poster to the easier method. Lots of themes out there. Maybe one you fall in love with. Also, that looks like default to me. Edited February 1, 2017 by neil9000 Quote
shro2016 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 My advice would be to check out the big box theme tutorials on YouTube. It talks you through using visual studio to amend the files. That coupled with the PDF documentation file in the root of the launch box themes folder should be all you need to get started. Moving that text and reformatting is done by modifying the grid layout of the view, in this case the vertical wheel one so the tutorial on images and grids will be the one you need but I would advise starting at the beginning with the tutorials - there aren't that many and you'll get through them in a couple of hours. The most time consuming bit is actually installing visual studio community (which is free) as it takes a while to install. Good luck 1 Quote

Good luck With all due respect, what may seem easy for some is not easy for all. I have now idea what half of what u said even meant, grid layout etc. But its fine better peeps than me have already done the hard work for me, and I THANK them hugely. keep doing what you do peeps. 1 Quote
shro2016 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Granted, most of what I put probably made no sense to me either a month ago but it is surprisingly straight forward once you have viewed the tutorials but appreciate this is not for everyone. 2 Quote
romkilla Posted February 1, 2017 Author Posted February 1, 2017 Thank you guys for the quick replies. I will ask the dev of the theme(have to find THE one) if he can mod the code for me and i will also watch the video an try to learn what is it about. I'm french so i need to translate and sometimes it's a little bit complicated. Again thank you and congratulation to everyone working on this amazing software Quote

Yeah no disrespect intended, just saying another theme may be better for you. Quote
romkilla Posted February 1, 2017 Author Posted February 1, 2017 Before my first post i founded that i will have to deal with the FilterDetailsView file to edit text. Is it right? Quote

The themes are really easy to install and you're likely to find one that suits yours needs. I like tinkering with XAML but it's not for everyone. 1 Quote
