Changing the GUI mid game?

[sammamish1]

Is there a way to change elements of the GUI in game, whether that's in between scenes or even during dialogue? For example, if I wanted the text box or font size to be different if that narrator were to change, could I do that? I try simple code like this for testing purposes:

$ gui.text_size = 30 # The default size is 22

When this line is run, nothing actually changes. I understand that gui.text_size if defined at the beginning, meaning it should probably be a constant value. So is there a way to change that? Are styles the best course of action here? I'm not too sure. Any answers would be very appreciated.

You can do something like this: https://renpy.org/doc/html/style.html?h ... preference

You define styles

Code: Select all

init python:
    renpy.register_style_preference("text", "basic", style.say_dialogue, "font", "font/Almendra-Regular.ttf")
    #Other's Font
    renpy.register_style_preference("text", "dyslexic", style.say_dialogue, "font", "font/verdana.ttf")

After define them you would use $ renpy.set_style_preference(preference, alternative) to set it up.
Otherwise you could use it in a button too:

Code: Select all

                    textbutton "Default":
                        hovered tt.Action("Sets the game font to the default style.")
                        action StylePreference("text", "basic") text_font "font/Almendra-Regular.ttf"
                        alt "Default Font"
                    textbutton "Alternative":
                        hovered tt.Action("A font that was chosen to be easier to read for those with dyslexia.")
                        action StylePreference("text", "dyslexic") text_font "font/verdana.ttf"
                        alt "Alternative Font"
