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

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.
