[Solved] Different Idle/Hover Button Colors

[vwxyang0707]

Would it be possible to have different idle/hover button colors on the main menu, and in-game?
On the main menu, I wish for the colors to be white/black, and white/blue in-game.

I have this under Colors in the gui.rpy (for the main menu)

Code: Select all

## The color used for a text button when it is neither selected nor hovered.
define gui.idle_color = '#ffffff'

## The color that is used for buttons and bars that are hovered.
define gui.hover_color = '#000000'

and this under Choice Buttons in the gui.rpy (for choice buttons in-game)

Code: Select all

define gui.choice_button_text_idle_color = "#ffffff"
define gui.choice_button_text_hover_color = "#97baff"

but it seems like the hover color under Colors is overriding the one in Choice Buttons.

The names of all the properties can be tricky (they are for me).
In your examples, I think there is confusion between the color of the textbutton (that is, the background of the textbutton), and the color of the text inside a textbutton (the color of the letters).
What you want can be done, but you need to find the exact property to change.
Also, look in screens.rpy, there a lot of properties are defined, maybe you need to change them there.
I guess you need to change lines that these:

Code: Select all

style choice_button is button
style choice_button_text is button_text
style choice_button is default: ...
style choice_button_text is default: ...

So I looked under screens.rpy and this chunk of code was missing.

Code: Select all

style choice_button is default:
    properties gui.button_properties("choice_button")

style choice_button_text is default:
    properties gui.button_text_properties("choice_button")

Once I added that back in, I got the text color I wanted, but paired with Ren'py's default choice button.

Would there be a way to not use ANY choice buttons?

Do you mean no background? Then you can add the "background None" property. Maybe on the style or on the screen choice itself.

Yes, that worked perfectly! I'm a huge newbie to Ren'py, so thank you
