Startup/Game Over Screen Font

Recommended Posts

Is there a way to change the Startup/Game Over screen fonts?  I tried editing the Defult.xaml and Default Shutdown.xaml files in the StartupThemes folder with poor results.  Anyway, I'd like to use a custom font for Loading... and Game Over if possible.  Thanks!

If you are trying to change the theme in the folder named "Default" you cannot. You can edit other themes you have downloaded or copy the default folder, paste, then rename it what you want. Then you can edit it and use custom text and fonts.

Ok.  Good to know.  Say I copied the default theme folder and renamed it etc.  Do you know the syntax I can add to the .xaml to specify a font?  Just thought it would be a smidgen cooler if it had a digital or arcade style font.

If you have the font installed on your machine it is pretty simple. Look for the line of code below. Somewhere inside that section add FontFamily="[Name of Font]"

In the second code you see I added the Arcade font to it. The name needs to be the actual Font Name (see pic). 

                <TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="3" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Text="{Binding NowLoadingText}" Foreground="White"
                    HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" FontSize="60" Typography.Capitals="AllSmallCaps" />
                <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Path=NowLoadingText, NotifyOnTargetUpdated=True}"
                    Foreground="Aqua" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" FontSize="70" Margin="0,0,0,0" FontFamily="Arcade" />
