Title: Formatting UIFILEs for readability.
Post by: Panda X on December 02, 2009, 08:34:11 pm
For those who edit the shellstyle you know what a mess it is in there. To format it to a regular XML layout so you can understand it better I recommend Kaxaml (http://www.kaxaml.com/).

Just open the program and drop in the UIFILE and on the left click on Xaml Scrubber. I use the settings [Disabled, All on one line, Checked, Unchecked, Unchecked] though you can have whatever you prefer.

Yep !
In fact, i have a question.
I only made one visual style, i'm workin on my 2nd.
For this first one, i did not use WSB, did not buy it yet. I remember i edited the shellstyle for some text colors. Now i'm pretty sure Kaxaml must be useful for all themers.
And now i wonder, what sort of things can be edited with this app, that i can't do with WSB ?

Kaxaml just reformats UI files to make them easier to read.  Has nothing to do with actual editing.

Watch Panda"s video in Tutorials.

Hmmmm owkaayyy, hard to understand for me. I watched Panda's video and did not understand all he said. It's sometimes hard for me to read some posts in english, imagine to translate while hearing.
