Handy,

Thanks for this information. That's exactly what I needed to know. Unfortunately, Blend isn't an option for me right now since I am in an office full of early adapters and we have started to develop in Visual Studio 2010 and Blend can't open VS2010 projects without causing some issues. Once Blend has been updated I will definately be using it to set properties like this.

Hi,

You will need to set TitleTextObject, ToolTipTextObject and SubtitleTextObject Foreground properties into black. It is easier if you set the properties with using Mircrosoft Expression Blend.

  <ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow MaxHeight="400" MinHeight="256" ReflectionBackgroundColor="#00000000" PerspectiveMode="Scale">
            <ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow.BackgroundImage>
                <Image/>
            </ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow.BackgroundImage>
            <ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow.TitleTextObject>
                <TextBlock/>
            </ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow.TitleTextObject>
            <ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow.TooltipTextObject>
                <TextBlock/>
            </ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow.TooltipTextObject>
            <ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow.SubTitleTextObject>
                <TextBlock/>
            </ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow.SubTitleTextObject>
            <ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow.BackgroundObject>
                <Rectangle/>
            </ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow.BackgroundObject>
            <ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow.Items>
                <ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlowItem SubTitle = "Photo Credit © Marcus Claesson" ImageSource="Images/CoverFlow/Cover (24).jpg"/>
                <ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlowItem SubTitle = "Photo Credit © Marcus Claesson" ImageSource="Images/CoverFlow/Cover (25).jpg"/>
            </ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow.Items>
        </ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow>

Changing Font Color of Title Text in WebCoverFlow

In all of the examples I've looked at, the color of the title and subtitle text in the coverflow controls have been white. What property changes the color of the text used by the title and subtitle fields? I have my coverflow on a white background and can't see the text because it is also white. Here is the XAML that defines the grid I am using. I have also removed any reflection from the coverflow items and included the XAML I am using to do that.

<ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow x:Name="coverFlow" ShowFullScreenButton="False"
ShowSlideShowButton="False" TitleVisibility="True" SubTitleVisibility="True"
Foreground="Black" ColorTheme="White" BorderThickness="1" PerspectiveTop="0.25"
PerspectiveBottom="15" CoverSize="280" Offset="0.95" PerspectiveMode="Perspective"
BorderBrush="Black" ReflectionBackgroundColor="White" StartUpPosition="First"
ItemSpace="40" Grid.Row="10" Margin="8,8,30,18" ShowScrollBar="False" Height="250">
   <ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow.ItemReflection>
      <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,0.75" StartPoint="0.5,0.25">
         <GradientStop Color="Transparent"/>
         <GradientStop Color="Transparent" Offset="1"/>
      </LinearGradientBrush>
   </ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow.ItemReflection>
   <ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow.BackgroundObject>
      <Rectangle/>
   </ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow.BackgroundObject>
</ISNet_Silverlight_WebAqua:WebCoverFlow>
