Is it possible to configure the popup text?

I'm multiboxing Eve and use a key to toggle my mouse+kb broadcasting.
Where the Mapped Key step popup text appears now is just over the top of some Eve notifications, so I'd quite like to move the popup text area.
At the same time, I'd really like to use a bigger font, as it's quite small text in 1920x1200.

I can change the font colour and the display/fade time in the step but I can't see anywhere to do the above - can anyone enlighten me?

Re: Is it possible to configure the popup text?

I'll look into extending the configurable Popup Text functionality for a near-future ISBoxer build.

Until then, you can manually modify the XML. The actual GUI properties (font, UI placement, etc) are in InnerSpace\Scripts\isboxerui.xml (LavishGUI docs). this file is overwritten when ISBoxer updates (which you always have the option of declining), so you'd want to keep a backup of your changes and/or mark it read-only.

Re: Is it possible to configure the popup text?

I realize this post is old as dirt but I am trying to do the same thing and I am a little lost in the xml. Specifically where the exact layout of the pop up text is.
InnerSpace\Scripts\isboxerui.xml has the following layout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ISUI>
<window name='isboxerfirstrun'>
<frame name='isboxerpopup'>
<frame name='isboxerstopup'>
<frame name='isboxerbutton'>
<window name='isboxerrepeaterregioneditor'>
<window name='isboxerconsole'>
<window name='isboxervideofeededitor'>
<window name='isboxermain'>
<window name='isboxerindicatorwindow'>
<template name='isboxerindicator'>
<window name='isboxerrepeaterwindow'>
<frame name='isboxerrepeaterregion'>
<template name='clickbars.window.TitleBar.Sync'>
<template name='menuman.button' template='button'>
<template name='isboxervideowindow.Client' template='window.Client'>
<window name='isboxervideowindow'>
<!--
</ISUI>

but there is zero comments in there and the section that looks like it could be it : <frame name='isboxerpopup'>
doesn't look like it has any exact positioning in it or text/font either

I do notice that the innerspace popup is a lot lower more towards the center so I assume it has it's own section for popups if not the one I mentioned above.

So once again any help is appreciated, even If it is just an approximate line number of where the popup text section is.

ps: I need the format to move it down so many pixels so an x/y coordinate location/format would be awesome.

Re: Is it possible to configure the popup text?

I imagine if you set the appropriate properties in the isboxerpopup frame then it will move things around, otherwise the defaults from the DefaultSkin.xml will apply.

Specifically, to set a fixed location I would set the X and Y. I don't quite understand the % positioning and where it is based from, but then I'm not testing with it currently, just surmising.

To set the font I would use a FONT node (in fact there is already one there in the children node which is putting the default from the DefaultSkin.xml).
Code:
<FONT>
  <Name>Courier</Name>
  <Size>12</Size>
  <Color>FFFFFFFF</Color>
</FONT>

Re: Is it possible to configure the popup text?

For anyone interested I did get the popups to move ..the key is the percentage in those areas. the standard 20% was to high so I changed it to 50% and that moved it down to my eye level. scripts/isboxerui.xml about line 60. I didn't get the text size changed I haven't had time to get the template=text.font figured out.
