Using a Custom Style

As soon as you have created a custom style using the CustomUI Builder, you should have an XML file containing the style definition.

The easiest way to apply this style in your Xojo project is to drag & drop the XML file into your Xojo project.

Applying the style at Application Launch

In the Xojo Navigator select the App element

Then click on the "+" button to add a new code item, and select Event Handler

Add-EventHandler.png


Xojo now displays the Add Event Handler window. Select the Open event then click on OK

The App item now has an Open event handler in the Navigator:

Finally, copy and paste the following line of code to apply the style, assuming the XML file is named CustomStyle.xml:

Call UI_Module.LoadFromXML(CustomStyle)


Window Background

If your custom style requires a special Window background color or picture, for each Window of your Xojo project, define the Background color or Window Backdrop.
