I've noticed that this perticular Storyboard property behaves static, that is, it changes on every object instance of the same class, independently of where it's played. However all other properties appear normal and affect only targeted instance.

Storyboard property:

Code: Select all

 <ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="(TextElement.Foreground).(SolidColorBrush.Color)" Storyboard.TargetName="TitleLabel">
                <EasingColorKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.1" Value="White"/>
 </ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames>

Element:

Code: Select all

 <Label x:Name="TitleLabel" Content="Label" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="15,0" FontSize="40" IsEnabled="False"/>

These are used in background/foreground color switching context, so the current workaround is to have 2 labels layered with different colors and then just lerp between them. Hope it helps.

-The FontFamily property exported by inkscape does not include a hash (#) character, causing a parsing error. Is it really necessary to have this in there?

-Inkscape does not put the actual text in the Text property, but uses span instead, which looks like this:
<Span whiteSpaceCollapse="preserve" FontSize="60">Some text here</Span>
Any chance in supporting this?

We can interpret FontFamily="Arial" the same as FontFamily="#Arial", but remember that you have to copy the corresponding .ttf fonts next to the xaml file so it can be found.

Full support for inlines is planned after 1.2 release. If you need it now we can transfer Span text into the outer TextBlock easily. But the properties set in the Span (like FontSize) will be lost, unless we override TextBlock properties with the properties of the first Span found inside the TextBlock.
Do you think this will work for you?

Yes, that will be great! My text is not fancy anyway and it will surely help to get my project up and running quickly.
