I give, I need help making the font size work.

[nhguy03276]

Had to re-write a bunch of hackjob code into a different form of hackjob code... and after several hours I now have 90% of it working. I just for the life of me, can't make the font size smaller in the following code. Everything I try ends up with a syntax error, but I'm sure it's a simple comma in the wrong spot kind of thing. If anyone can help, I'd be most thankful. It's for a status bar that sits at the top of the screen.

Code: Select all

screen status_bar:     
       frame: 
           hbox :
                
              if STM < 6:
               $ day_mood = "Bad"
               $ day_mood_image = "props/m_bad.png"
              elif STM < 12:
               $ day_mood = "Meh"
               $ day_mood_image = "props/m_meh.png"
              elif STM < 18:
               $ day_mood = "Ok"
               $ day_mood_image = "props/m_ok.png"
              elif STM < 24:
               $ day_mood = "Good"
               $ day_mood_image = "props/m_good.png"
              else:
               $ day_mood = "Great"
               $ day_mood_image = "props/m_great.png"  
              text(" Mood:[STM] [day_mood] ") 
              image day_mood_image
              
              text  ("   Copper pieces :[cp]" )
              if p_hunger < 6:
                  $ stat_hunger = "Very Hungry"
              elif p_hunger < 11:
                  $ stat_hunger = "Hungry"
              elif p_hunger < 16:
                  $ stat_hunger = "Snacky"
              elif p_hunger < 24:
                  $ stat_hunger = "Satisfied"
              else:
                  $ stat_hunger = "Full"
              text ( "   Hunger: [p_hunger] [stat_hunger]")
              text ( "  Time: [p_time]:00")
              text ("   Date: [date][year]")

Did you try:{size=12}Your text{/size}

Did you try:{size=12}Your text{/size}

Well... variations there of... I don't think I got that exact combo. but it's working now, Thank you.

That's a rather inefficient way of doing what you want, since you'd have to write out the text tag for each string separately.

Code: Select all

screen status_bar:
    frame:
        style_group "status_bar"
        # the rest of your screen

init:
    style status_bar_text is text:
        size 12

This is good, except assumes all text within the bar is going to be the same size.

True. If you need to particularly change just one part of the string to a different style, text tags are useful. I assumed, since OP only asked for a smaller font, that that wasn't the case. FWIW, you can also apply styles to particular lines on the screen, which may still come out as more efficient than using text tags in general.

Code: Select all

text "blah blah" size 12
text "blah blah blah" style "my_text"
