Hello! I'm very new to Ren'py and am trying to make a short visual novel all on my own with help of tutorials. Thing is, I currently have a problem where I want the dialogue text and narration text to be in the same position but it's proving to be difficult
I attached two files. The first one shows the narration without the character's name, the second one shows the character talking. What I want is for the narration text from the first image to be at the same position as the dialogue text in the second image. But when there's no character talking, the text's position is the same as the character's name position.
I hope that made sense. I'd really appreciate the help!!

In gui.rpy, try tweaking a few settings to shift the name to where you want it. You might also want to add a bit of style to it, maybe give it its own frame...
