Changing NotesCanvas text....

[Syllius]

Heya, I've been using Big Box to browse comics and I've only just started learning how to tweak themes. I'm wondering, in the current view XAML, there's a reference to NotesCanvas that pulls the game details. If I want to change the text to read Writer/Artist instead of the Developer/Publisher, how would I go about this? I've searched all the XAML files in the theme but there doesn't seem to be labels that I can actively change. Thanks in advance for any direction.

Can you upload the xml file here

Hopefully, no harm in posting this, it's originally from the CityHunter II theme. I'm working my way up to the CTC and using Discord for learning. Just trying to overcome some social phobias. Thanks for responding, I appreciate any help you can give. 

 

PlatformWheel1FiltersView.xaml

I think you posted the wrong file. That's the platform level view which would not pull individual game details. Can you post a pic of the exact section in the BB theme you want to change. The GameDetailsView.xaml is likely pulling a binding of either Text="{Binding Path=Notes}" or Text="{Binding Path=Details}". If so changing those bindings will not alter Developer/Publisher to Writer/Artist as those field titles are coded into the back end of BB. There is likely a different xaml filter view you would need to edit. I am not to sure. If not, then you may need to end up using a Custom Field to create "Writer/Artist" and then have the theme use the bidning for Text="{Binding Path=CustomFieldsString}" to pull that into your game details to be displayed. At least If am understanding what you are wanting correctly. Maybe one of the devs will chime in.

The file you need to change to alter the "Details" section of the Platform/Filter views is FilterDetailsView. The one for Games is GameDetailsView. In there you can reorder any of the fields, or give them different headers if you so desire. If you take a look at the views for Default you will see how to split fields up a bit easier than you will using older themes.
