[Solved?] Problem with gallery items with transparent BGs

#1 Post by solarProtag »

Hi there!
So I've been wracking my brain around this for a while and decided to seek help here, so here's the gist of it:

I'm using Leon's instant gallery code to make my gallery (obvs with customizations here and there) but the consistent problem I'm having is that if I add an image to the gallery that has a transparent background and then view it in the gallery it shows up like this:

What I want is for that transparent image to appear on top of the gallery (and maybe even add a 75% black behind it so that it's easier to see).
I saw how Cute Demon Crashers did it with their Chibi images in the gallery but it looks like they used a custom image system for that. I was wondering if there was a way to get around this issue.

Thanks!

Update:
So update on the situation: apparently when I build the distributions for my game and then view those gallery images in the release version they show up with a black bg behind them. I guess it shows up with the checkered bg because of the command console kicking in when I open the game with the RenPy Launcher.

I'm still open to advice on how to make the images show up on top of my gallery stuff, but I guess I can work with this.
