Change controls size layout when changing window's size UWP

I would like to make my controls gets bigger with the same margin, It's like giving 10% of the window's size bigger, all controls should be bigger 10% as the window does, they should goes wider if the windows goes too ...etc.

I searched a lot about that and found this topic : https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/uwp/layout/layouts-with-xaml but still couldn't know how to make what i want exactly. I don't have many controls they are like 9 only! They are timers, nothing else!

I could do it in Forms or WPF, but in windows UI XAML is blocking so many features, so I can't do it the same way I did for others. That's why I'm trying to find another alternative way to do it.

My Windows Main window WPF (Screenshot): enter image description here

WPF XAML : 

<Page
x:Class="SpecCountdown.MainPage"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="using:SpecCountdown"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d">

<Grid x:FieldModifier="public" x:Name="mainGrid" Background="Black" Loaded="Grid_Loaded" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="1910">

    <TextBlock x:FieldModifier="public" x:Name="playerTxt" Margin="57,66,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="PLAYER:" Foreground="#FF0015FF" FontSize="36" Height="56" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="148"/>
    <Border x:FieldModifier="public" x:Name="separator1" Height="1" Margin="43,135,0,0" Background="#8800A8FF" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="552" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
    <TextBlock x:FieldModifier="public" x:Name="modeTxt" Margin="57,149,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="PREP TIME:" Foreground="#FF0015FF" FontSize="42" Height="51" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="247"/>
    <Border x:FieldModifier="public" x:Name="separator2" Height="1" Margin="43,216,0,0" Background="#8800A8FF" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="552" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
    <TextBlock x:FieldModifier="public" x:Name="nextUpTxt" Margin="57,230,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="NEXT UP:" Foreground="#FF0015FF" FontSize="36" Height="67" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="171"/>
    <TextBlock x:FieldModifier="public" x:Name="currPlayerTxt" Margin="0,66,1333,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="N/A" Foreground="#FF0015FF" FontSize="38" TextAlignment="Right" Height="56" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Width="349"/>
    <TextBlock x:FieldModifier="public" x:Name="nextPlayerTxt" Margin="228,230,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="N/A" Foreground="#FF0015FF" FontSize="38" Height="56" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="349" TextAlignment="Right"/>
    <TextBlock x:FieldModifier="public" x:Name="timerTxt" Margin="349,153,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="0000:00" Foreground="#FF0015FF" FontSize="38" Height="56" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="228" TextAlignment="Right"/>
</Grid>

All what I want to make it flexible as well as I change my window's size.

I think that you want to change your controls sizes when the windows sieze change.But the TextBlock's sizes is same as TextBlock's FontSize.For the reason,I use ViewBox that sizes will be same as the Page size.And if you not set the page in Frame,the Page's sizes will as bigger as the windows's sizes.

<Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
 <Viewbox>
        <Grid>
            <Grid.Resources>
                <Style TargetType="TextBlock">
                    <Setter Property="Foreground"
                      Value="#FF0015FF"></Setter>
                    <Setter Property="FontSize"
                      Value="36"></Setter>
                    <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment"
                      Value="Center"></Setter>
                    <Setter Property="VerticalAlignment"
                      Value="Center"></Setter>
                    <Setter Property="Margin"
                            Value="10,10,10,10"></Setter>
                </Style>
            </Grid.Resources>
            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <RowDefinition></RowDefinition>
                <RowDefinition></RowDefinition>
                <RowDefinition></RowDefinition>
            </Grid.RowDefinitions>

            <Grid>
                <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <ColumnDefinition></ColumnDefinition>
                    <ColumnDefinition></ColumnDefinition>
                </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <TextBlock Text="PLAYER:" 
                       ></TextBlock>
                <TextBlock Grid.Column="1" 
                       Text="N/A"></TextBlock>
            </Grid>
            <Grid Grid.Row="1">
                <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <ColumnDefinition></ColumnDefinition>
                    <ColumnDefinition></ColumnDefinition>
                </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <TextBlock Text="PREP TIME:"></TextBlock>
                <TextBlock Grid.Column="1"
                       Text="0000:00"></TextBlock>
            </Grid>
            <Grid Grid.Row="2">
                <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <ColumnDefinition></ColumnDefinition>
                    <ColumnDefinition></ColumnDefinition>
                </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <TextBlock Text="NEXT UP:" ></TextBlock>
                <TextBlock Grid.Column="1"
                       Text="N/A"></TextBlock>
            </Grid>
        </Grid>
    </Viewbox>
</Grid>
