Update: using background At("say_box composite", box_pos) worked.

Here's what it looks like now. I'll use this method going forward as best as I can.

Thank you for the help.

Okay, so it should be something like this?


background At("say_box composite", box_pos)


I only ask because in the setup you gave me, it was this:


background At("say_box", box_pos)


So I'm just confused if that's what needs to be changed

Thank you. I removed the "=", and it doesn't give me the error anymore. However, there is no image displayed. It says "Image 'say_box' not found". To reiterate, I have this in screens.rpy: style window: xalign 0.5 xfill True yalign gui.textbox_yalign ysize gui.textbox_height # se...

Oop-- sorry, didn't read your bit about the window code. I changed it, as suggested, to: style window: xalign 0.5 xfill True yalign gui.textbox_yalign ysize gui.textbox_height # set background to composite image "say_box", at position defined in box_pos background At("say_box", b...

Thank you, but it seems I'm still having trouble. Sorry for not copy-pasting exactly how you had it, but I'm trying to see if I understand how to apply what you're explaining. I'm going with images as opposed to boxes rendered in-game since I can't quite figure out how to render a box with rounded c...

Thank you for replying. Sorry for the late response, but I'm still having trouble with this. The issue I've been running into with these things is that I never know how to properly call upon that when it comes to the syntax for the window code. I keep getting errors no matter where I put the composi...

Hey all, I a series of images I want to use for the background of a textbox, and a series of images I want to display below that one. It would have one image for the are around the dialogue, and a separate image as a border for that image. I want to let the player choose between which border they wa...

You don't have it so that it's trying to display two images at once, right? You're definitely having it hide the previous menu image and show the new menu item instead?

I'm trying to do a very similar thing, where I allow the player to choose between 3 color palettes for the UI (which would include changing the colors used in the main menu). Are you specifically only trying to change the colors, or the images, or something else? Just trying to make sure my own issu...

Quick update: It's apparently inadvisable to try to render rectangles with rounded corners and circles in-engine. Is that true? Is there any way to display a rectangle with rounded corners with these parameters? - xsize 800 - ysize 240 - color "#E37171" - corner radius 20 I've already mana...

I think I might want to go with a layeredimage, so that I can set the layer colors independently via hex color. Specifically, I think it's best that I set the gui colors according to certain variables, and then have a section in the options screen where I can choose between different palettes which ...

Thank you. I feel like I'm leaning towards images for the time being, if only because I already have them designed for the mockup, and I shouldn't have too many colors to replace... but on the other hand, the idea of doing that for every layer on every UI 4 or 5 times... it's a little bit annoying, ...

I was thinking about making it possible for the player to choose between a couple different color palettes, but I was wondering if it'd be better to do that by making png images or in-engine renders. I don't think anything I have designed would be impossible to do in the engine, it would just take a...

I have two major designs for the main menu thus far (have not implemented either yet), and I'm not sure which I'd like to go with. Either way, this is what I have for now.

I've mostly been putting my effort into handling UI and organizing the game structure for now. Here's what I've got so far.
