Changing colors of stat bars?

[namastaii]

When you use a bar range for a value of something, all the colors are the same (according to whatever theme you choose)
I was wondering is there a way to change the color in the coding for each bar for each element without doing much different and using the same code layout?

For instance, this is the regular code:

Code: Select all

screen stats_screen:
    frame:
        has vbox
        hbox:
            label "{color=#9933ff}Energy: {/color}" xminimum 100
            bar range energy_max value energy xmaximum 400

and it shows up like this:



And I wish to change the value (that blue progressive bar inside) to whatever color I want if possible..or do I have to create a different stat bar from python? I'd prefer to keep this simple layout if possible. I tried looking for some answers but didn't find any.

Unfortunately, there is no way to change the color of the bar without making your own bar with your own graphics. But you can change the theme, which will change the colors of all bars in your game.

If you want to make your own graphics to fully customize the look of the bar and its color, check out Aleema's Customization Thread, especially the section "Styling bars and thumbs".

Aleema's tutorial is more of a Preferences menu bar tutorial, so I'll do some shameless self advertising suggest that you check out the bar tutorial in my signature, or check out the Ren'Py documentation: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/style_pro ... properties

To use the previous poster's suggestion of images, you'd have to define left_bar and right_bar in the bar property statements.
