Changing the text color in text box

[DovDubon]

Hello! im new to ren'py software, and to phyton.

i want to change the text color in the textbox, i searched the internet an i found that i need to find 'styles' properties in the options rty, but there is not such text.
also, i searched for the text 'color' on the options.rty and didt find anything.

please help, the textbox color is white, and the text for some reason is whitish grey...

They are, within newer versions of Ren'py, now located in gui.rpy

Lots of values to play with in there

Look for these lines in the "colors" section of gui.rpy:

Code: Select all

## The colors used for dialogue and menu choice text.
define gui.text_color = '#402000'
define gui.interface_text_color = '#404040'

thank you both!
i only got it halfway, the text in textbox is #000000 now, but menus are still the same color even though:
## The colors used for dialogue and menu choice text.
define gui.text_color = '#000000'
define gui.interface_text_color = '#000000'


What am i missing?

Do you mean menus as in choices in dialogue? If so, find ## Choice in gui.rpy and tinker the values...


## Choice Buttons ##############################################################
##
## Choice buttons are used in the in-game menus.

define gui.choice_button_width = 790
define gui.choice_button_height = None
define gui.choice_button_tile = False
define gui.choice_button_borders = Borders(100, 5, 100, 5)
define gui.choice_button_text_font = gui.text_font
define gui.choice_button_text_size = gui.text_size
define gui.choice_button_text_xalign = 0.5
define gui.choice_button_text_idle_color = "#cccccc" # <----
define gui.choice_button_text_hover_color = "#ffffff" # <--- probably these two

The original post was 4 years ago. It is currently April 2021 and my gui shows me this:

Code: Select all

## The colors used for dialogue and menu choice text.
define gui.text_color = u'#ffffff'
define gui.interface_text_color = u'#ffffff'

I don't know what the "u" means, but when I try to change the value to #000000 instead of #ffffff it still shows the dialogue text as white instead of black.

[Edit]
I discovered that in copying and moving my rpy files into fodlers to try and keep everything more managable, the game was still referencing an original file. This works as it should now. The error was mine.
