# Voxel

Tile generator for Windows 10

## About Tiles

>Windows tile can have different size depending on the DPI.

* Non-scalable Tile: The size of tile image is fixed.

* Scalable Tile: Images with different sizes, Windows can choose the currect one automatically.

* Image Tile: Dozens of non-scalable tiles that show an image like a jigsaw.

## App Settings

The settings file is saved in the same directory and named `Voxel.settings.json`.

Here is default settings:

```json

{

	"ShowSplashScreen" : true,

	"StartMenu" : {

		"Fullscreen" : false,

		"ShowMoreTiles" : false

	},

	"NonscalableTile" : {

		"AutoLoadXml" : true,

		"AutoLoadVoxelFile" : false,

		"ClearTileCacheOnGenerate" : true,

		"ColorPickerView" : {

			"PreviewOnTile" : true,

			"RgbMode" : false

		}

	}

}

```

- `ShowSplashScreen`: Show a splash screen when app is starting.

- `StartMenu`: The editor use these settings to determine the size of tile.

    - `Fullscreen`: Set it to true if you use fullscreen start menu.

    - `ShowMoreTiles`: Set it to true if you enabled Show More Tiles in system settings.

- `NonscalableTile`: Settings for non-scalable tile editor.

    - `AutoLoadXml`: If the `$TargetName$.VisualElementsManifest.xml` exists in the same directory, load tile information from it.

    - `AutoLoadVoxelFile`: If the `$TargetName$.voxel` exists in the same directory, load tile information from it.

    - `ClearTileCacheOnGenerate`: When generating, scan all shortcut files on start menu that match the current target, and refresh them.

    - `ColorPickerView`: Settings for color picker.

        - `PreviewOnTile`: Preview new color on editor.

        - `ShowSampleText`: **Obsoleted since 4th release.** Show sample text to check the readablity.

		- `RgbMode`: If true, color picker will use RGB color model when it starts (default is HSB). Voxel will update it after you close a color picker.

## A Brief Help

- Main Window:

	- `Non-scalable Tile`:

		- `Select Target`: Select the target file, or right-click to select folder.

		- `Select Image`: Select the image that shows on your tile, or right-click to use no image (show the icon of target).

		- `Set Backcolor`: Set backcolor of tile, or right-click to use default color.

		- `Use Dark Theme`: If checked, the tile name will be black (useful when background image is bright).

		- `Show Name`: If checked, your tile will show target name.

		- `Medium/Small`: Toggle this to see what your tile looks like on different sizes.

		- `Reset`: Reset all tile settings above except the target.

		- `Generate`: Generate all necessary files for your tile, and clear tile cache if it's enabled in settings.

		- `Add to Start`: Create a shortcut file on Start Menu folder so that you can pin it later.

		- `Import`: Import tile data from `.voxel` file.

		- `Export`: Export tile data to `.voxel` file.

	- `Scalable Tile`: Coming soon.

	- `Image Tile`: Coming soon.

	- `Clear Tile Cache`: Clear cache for all tiles on start menu.
