Hi.
As I'm planing a new theme for BV, based on the Win10 theme but with not that abstract graphics and some more transparency effects. And I would like to change positions and sizes of some elements. E.g. I would like to have the main menu on bottom of the screen below the footer content area. First I wanted it named "Windows 7 Theme" , but I think I will find a different name for it.

I would need (like) to exchange the backdrop image depending on which group of the main menu is shown. Can this be achieved without touching the C# code?

At the moment I'm searching for graphics and backdrops to use. The xaml coding (it's very optimistic to think that I'm ever be able to do so ) I want to start once the Win10 theme is finished so I don't need to update my theme that often...

To make it short. Yes, it's possible

Cool.
When I need it, I definitely will ask you how...

Yesterday I've started to fiddle with the xaml a bit. As soon as I can show a very first result I will do. Only thing I've completed so far is the splash screen.

I found the reason of the overlapping help texts. I was a change you asked me for, but it does not work. (Your change in the model is ok, but my change is not working)

  <Label.Visibility>
  <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource ExpressionMultiValueConverter}" ConverterParameter="{} {0} &amp; {1}">
  <Binding Source="{StaticResource MenuModel}" Path="IsHomeScreen"/>
  <Binding Source="{StaticResource MenuModel}" Path="!IsHome"/>
  </MultiBinding>
  </Label.Visibility>
  </Label>

I think the AND must be an OR, but there is no OR operator in xaml according to MSDN overviews.
Please tell me how to change it.

thanks

I think the expression is right, but the "Visibility" property is not type "bool". You need to use "IsVisible", this should fix the issue.

Does unfortunately also not work. Same result.

Please also check the ConverterParameter, example: https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...olloOne/screens/FullscreenContentDVD.xaml#L58

There need to be 2 & (html encoded "&").

And I missed your question about "OR": there you need the "||" operator (like in C#) (but I think not here in this special case)

Stupid me. Because the & is already long and strange enough, I didn't consider it. It's also == for equal etc.
Now it works, thanks for the important hint

Hi.
I'm experimenting with transparent menu- tile images in PNG format but I can't get them to work properly. If I leave the file extension to .png the graphics are not recognised. If I rename them to .jpg the gfx is shown, but without transparency. A blue background is shown instead.

Is there a way to make this work or has the code behind to be changed somehow for this to work?

Renaming to jpg works. The background come from the homemenu button style. Search for a blue rectangle or border. You can easily find the position by try and error ( changing "#xxxxxxxx" to "#00000000")
