Hi folks,

I've just started delving into creating my own XAML files using Microsoft Blend, and it's great for creating variable text fields.

Now I'm wondering if I would be able to alter the background colours of the fields from within vMix, like the text. OR, using the amazing UTC tool that elgarf created, which can alter the text fields perfectly.

Example:
UserPostedImage

I'd like to be able to alter the colours of the team backgrounds easily, without having to re-export the XAML. They have the "x:Name" properties "homeColour" and "homeColourDark" and likewise for the Away team.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Nick

PS: Happy to share the XAML template for anyone who likes the setup. I based it off of Fox Sports USA hockey graphics.

Okay Doggy. I see you've been bothered by this question before. Found your links after much squinting.

I solved it! I used a method Doggy described here: https://forums.vmix.com/...ts&m=33878#post33878

I didn't realise also that if you put in HEX values instead of colour names it can still use it as a valid input. Here is the result: UserPostedImage

Lastly, feel free to use this as a template, as a thank you: https://www.dropbox.com/...ScoreboardBase.xaml?dl=0

Enjoy. :)
