[Solved] Window/"widget" Opacity

[mjshi]

I'll get straight to the point: Is it possible to make these:

slightly less transparent? (I'm thinking, like, 80% opacity or something). If so, how?

EDIT: And no, I don't want to use an image/frame xD

You can set it as a solid colour with alpha values: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/style_pro ... rty-values

Code: Select all

screen preferences():
    window:  # or frame, button, etc.
        background "#00000080"  # hexcode, black with 50% opacity
        # or 
        background (255, 255, 255, 205)  # RGBA tuple, white with about 80% opacity  

If you want to set it so more than one element has the same opacity and appearance, you can create a style.

Code: Select all

screen preferences():
    frame:
        style "blue_glass_frame"
    #or
    frame:
        style_group "red_glass"
        textbutton "Red too" action NullAction()

init:
    style blue_glass_frame:
        background (200, 200, 255, 150)
    style red_glass_frame:
        background (255, 200, 200, 175)
    style red_glass_button:
        background (255, 200, 200, 175)

You can also use a transform which has an alpha property for animations and more complex appearances if solid colour isn't enough: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/atl.html# ... properties

Thank you very much! I never really understood style properties...

Found some other non-screen language solutions:
Hex color codes apparently have opacity values: "ffffff80" for an 80% opacity white, "9CCAFF40" for a 40% opacity blue, etc.
For anyone else who has this same problem and is using a preinstalled theme, the folder with the theme slider images (which, apparently, are all transparent) can be found here: C:\....Ren'py\renpy\common\_theme_[name of theme]
Marking as solved, again, thank you!

No problem! Also want to say thank you for your bar tutorial. It's funny that just now I've been having issues with styling bar elements and you happened to have the tutorial I needed in your signature.
