How to make a minor edit in a theme?

[SolarisSpell]

Hello everyone

 

I don't know if I have changed an option and have messed up a theme or if I could just edit it.

 

I'm using Rincewind theme and I think its pretty great, but somehow when I apply it, my games have a big empty space at the top and the bottom.

 

Is this normal? If you open the screenshots for the theme, no such empty space appears.

Can I edit the theme to alter the size of that area?

 

Thanks

I do believe this is normal to how the theme was created. In the future, you may want to post over on the theme's file page for theme specific questions. That will usually get the eye of the author of the theme. However, I'm sure @Rincewind could shed some light on this.

Hey @SolarisSpell can you please check you have the correct value for the vertical padding in the options, see below screenshot.

Thank you for your answers @Rincewind and @faeran

 

My options were different:

 

Also, I have no knowledge of programming, but have tried changing it to see what happens.

I slightly edited the BoxesContentView and changed this:

<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="{Binding ImageRowHeight}" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />

 

For this:

<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />

 

And magically this happens:

 

I have no idea why, but it seems to work

 

Thanks!

That will do it, Glad you got it working.
