Title: Theater View skin text placement
Post by: jdizzy623 on May 26, 2013, 10:53:55 am

Just trying my hand at modifying a few things within Theater View....

On the main menu screen I would like to move the choice options from center of screen down toward the bottom.
Or, at the moment they are 1/2 down the screen, I would like to move them to 3/4 down the screen.

How would one go about this and where might the code be located?

Thanks

I am using the MetroX skin...
THANKS to Sirganty for the following help, it worked great!:

To shift the root roller down, the easiest approach would be:

layouts.xml:

    increase the size of the RootRollerTop element in the layouts.xml
    Only change the first one; this one represents the "root" screen (line 18 I think)
    its currently set at 45% of the screen height; try 75%.
    Add a new "bumper" so that the contents of the RootRollerTop element are not stretched
    directly underneath the RootRollerTop element you have just tweaked add a new element as below:
    The 38% below seems to work for 75%; if you choose a different height, you'll need to play with this so as not to stretch the icons

Code:

<Item name="RootRollerTopBump" Base="RootRollerTop" Placement="top" Size="38%" />


That should move the roller as you desire, now you just need to re-position the date/time on the root screen.

Easiest way is just to resize the containing element:
Find the first element called NavRollerBottomRightBump (should be line 31 if you have made the changes above)
Change size from "[Large Text Height]*3" to "[Large Text Height]"
