GrumpyBob Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) I've been poking around editing XAMLs and tweaking them to my liking on my current custom theme for a couple months now (whenever I have free time). I'm wondering if there's a definitive list somewhere in these forums or elsewhere of the "view" file names and a description of each? So far I've been changing fonts and sizes on XAMLs that sound like what I'm looking for and checking in big box after saving to see if I'm correct. Seems... wasteful. I'm sure there's a better way to do it, but I feel like over half of these XAMLs have aged out in the latest VS releases so I can't view what I'm doing. Haven't heard of or seen another program that will reliably open these files that seem to be legacy at this point. Edited June 27, 2023 by GrumpyBob Quote

Saved me a ton of work. Question you might know the answer to (not sure it deserves a full new post) - Any idea which XAML these lines are pulling from? (Attached image is screencapped from the theme I'm working on). I've been all over the OptionsPage.xaml and I don't see lines for the Primary Screen, Marquee, and Framerate (not pictured). Only thing I can think of - it's pulling from somewhere else. Quote
C-Beats Posted July 11, 2023 Posted July 11, 2023 Yeah, those options have their own view file. I'll have to see which it is, but it's the views that start with the word "Options". Each type of menu item has it's own file. Just not entirely sure what one is driving those two options. Quote

Cool, yeah there's definitely another XAML file - just can't figure out which... Quote
