How To Add Window For Centered Text?

I've played a few visual novels where the text goes to the center of the screen at certain points but each time there's some kind of background/window behind the text and I was wondering how to do that because I can't seem to figure it out...

Do you mean the NVL-mode?
Renpy has a default NVL-mode background (that can be changed - check the gui folder) that shows up whenever you have a character defined as a nvl-mode character talking - define j = Character("Julie", kind=nvl).

Something like this is what I mean.

...Yes? I think you need to be more specific about what exactly you're asking about.

That looks to me like they're either using the nvl-mode with a custom nvl screen (overlay image) or a custom text box redefined to fill the screen.
Did you look at the default nvl-mode Ren'Py has?

I'll have to take a look the next time I look at the program.

Okay, I figured SOMETHING out and it works just fine for the style I was aiming for.
