Switch Theme

[isilkin]

Hi. thank you for your theme. this is my default theme. If I want to customize it i.e. change font size and color is it possible for me to do that? I kept looking through xml file but did not find a property for it. 

Any help is appreciated.

Hi, everyone!

I am new to bigbox themes though I do have experience coding for websites. Here is my question:

How do I change the font color and size for where it says the Legend of Zelda. (see below). I am using the same view as in the picture. There are so many xaml files that I don't know which one I need to edit and what is the name of the property that I need to change.

Thank you.

BoxesGamesView.xaml -> line 44

It's wrapped in a viewbox though, so if you want to change the size you'll need to delete the viewbox.

Wow thanks for such an exact answer. What is the best free editor for xaml files. Notepad works but Dreamweaver does not. Happy holidays.

Notepad++ is good.

Thank you once again for your help. I am learning xaml slowly. Now I am wondering which file or property is responsible for the boxart border when it is highlighted and when it is not. Here is my screenshot.

That property is in the BoxListBoxItemStyle.xaml inside the Styles directory. You should be able to spot the color hex codes pretty easily.

I just wanted to post an image with a very minorly modified theme. Though I think it improves the readability of it on the big screen if you are sitting away from it.

How do you enable icons at the bottom of the screen with the favorites etc. Like in my original post.

So this is two parts, one question and one hopefully helpful guide.

Firstly, is it possible to remove the yellow/gold background from the BigBox logo in the top left corner?

Secondly, if this can help anyone, if you feel like you want/need your windows DPI/scaling to be above 100% and still use BigBox, you absolutely can and easily. I'm not exactly sure if its windows update dependent, however I can say I'm not on the latest updates so it should work fine on most W10 computers. If you right click BigBox.exe, and go to the compatibility tab, then down at the bottom, click change high DPI settings, tick the box override high DPI scaling behavior, and then make sure the box says application. What that will do, is ignore windows DPI scaling and let BigBox do its thing. Attached some images as well, hope this helps!

(BTW, this also works for games that startup off-centered in fullscreen!)

I've come across this great theme today for my wifes set up, and like so others I too am having the scaling issue on the platform wheel.  I'm at 1080p Res and scaling is set to 100, no more, no less.  I'm also on the updated version.  I've searched high and low but can't correct this.  any help would be appreciated.
