Customising the backlog

[ShaneWSmith]

Hi all,

I've followed the guide here http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=434496296 to create a backlog for my game.

But it looks kind of ugly. The text is black, and barely shows up against the background.

It doesn't look like the backlog itself has any background elements active at all.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/p8qq9i9d4vu8qes/Backlog.JPG?dl=0

Is there some way either to load a lighter coloured background in the backlog page, or change the text colour, please?

Basically any tips you can offer to pretty it up a little bit (preferably without a knock-on effect to the menus, etc) would be much appreciated. Thank you!

The backlog pulls from the same image as the menu due to it calling for the same file name, if you go into the backlog html page located: \tyrano\html and edit it you can change the last line with the image you want to use.

Just make sure to go to: tyrano\images\kag and copy the background image that you want to use into that location.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To change the text color go to \tyrano and open tyrano.css and locate .display_menu{

then add a line below it color: #000000; replacing the zeros with the color you are want to use. basic colors are also acceptable like color: blue;

There's a really good color wheel here that'll give you the hexadecimals:

Thank you, both! It looks much better now

Any chance we can get a sneak peek?

[ShaneWSmith]

For sure!

Here we go: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xili2ponj4acny3/backlog2.JPG?dl=0

I was happy enough with the background, so I didn't change it. I added the following to the css file:

font: 18px/100% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFFF;

Thanks again!

Very cool, glad it worked out!

Hello!

I was looking for this tutorial but I can't find it.
Where do I change the font style of the backlog?

Thank you so much!

EDIT:

Following an answer from above, I used this line:

font: 34px/100% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

But still looks like the text is super rough, like if the game didn't get what I wrote. Any idea?

tyrano.css and locate .display_menu{

You can add a line like in ShaneWSmith post to control the font.

That's awesome!

Still, for some reason, the text on backlog looks a little dull:

Even after I tried to copy and paste the same example of ShaneWSmith:

Any idea what's going wrong?

Thank you again! <3

From what I can see it looks pretty clear and not gray, what are you trying to get it to look like?

Hello again

Something like ShaneWSmith: a beautiful rounded perfect font style:

(Not like the square-y formatless font of mine, even that I'm using the same code).

Am I doing something wrong?

[jay_rab]

I dont think your doing anything wrong and i am pretty sure if you added the text "Mila, what's going on?" it would look the same.

I might be missing something, but is there a way to hide the UI while the backlog is open?

Oh, okay. I was just insecure I was doing something wrong so.
Thank you again, kind Sir Jay ^^

Huh? The UI is showing while you have the backlog activated?
That's odd.
