This project has been deprecated and superseeded by XAMLTools.

XamlColorSchemeGenerator

Generates color scheme xaml files while replacing certain parts of a template file.

For an example on how this tool works see the generator input and template files.

Using the tool

Usage with commandline parameters

XamlColorSchemeGenerator accepts the following commandline parameters:

• -g "Path_To_Your_GeneratorParameters.json"
• -t "Path_To_Your_Theme.Template.xaml"
• -o "Path_To_Your_Output_Folder"
• -v = enables verbose console output

Usage without commandline parameters

Just set the working directory to a directory containing GeneratorParameters.json and Theme.Template.xaml and call XamlColorSchemeGenerator.exe. The tool then also uses the current working dir as the output folder.

Usage during build

    <ItemGroup>
      <PackageReference Include="XamlColorSchemeGenerator" version="4-*" privateAssets="All" includeAssets="build" />
    </ItemGroup>

    <Target Name="GenerateXamlFiles" BeforeTargets="DispatchToInnerBuilds">
      <!-- Generate theme files -->
      <Message Text="$(XamlColorSchemeGeneratorExecutable)" />
      <Exec Command="&quot;$(XamlColorSchemeGeneratorExecutable)&quot;" WorkingDirectory="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)/Themes/Themes" />
    </Target>
