Button opacity in main menu screen

[jess]

hey. I'm pretty new to Ren'Py, and I'm trying to form my short story, but I'm new to coding and have a question.

is there any way to dim the opacity of the buttons on the main menu ("Start Game", "Load Game", etc.) so that they are semi-transparent?

thanks.

Sure. Any of the colors used in options.rpy can include an alpha, which will make the appropriate elements transparent.

So instead of

widget = "#003c78",

one can have

widget = "#003c7880",

which is 50% transparent.

thank you for the reply! though I'm not exactly sure how to generate a color code that includes an alpha.

I'm looking to go down to 75% opacity with #d9d9d9. how would I determine the correct value for this?

Here's a handy* chart:

Code: Select all

percent decimal hex
     0%       0  00
     5%      12  0c
    10%      25  19
    15%      38  26
    20%      51  33
    25%      63  3f
    30%      76  4c
    35%      89  59
    40%     102  66
    45%     114  72
    50%     127  7f
    55%     140  8c
    60%     153  99
    65%     165  a5
    70%     178  b2
    75%     191  bf
    80%     204  cc
    85%     216  d8
    90%     229  e5
    95%     242  f2
   100%     255  ff
