Back when I was at school, if ever anybody said something without specifying what they were talking about, my science teacher always replied something like <thing> what"
For example:
student "I'll need ten."
Teacher "ten what, ten Bunsen burners?"
student "No, ten glass beakers!"
Teacher "Then specify what you want."

@Alex, thanks for catching that. You're right, just using hbox is enough.
@Imperf2kt, I don't think the result of the evaluated condition was relevant; using True was just a quick and handy way of having a conditional statement there. Unless this is one of renpy's quirks where using that isn't allowed in screen language?
I'm wondering what its purpose is.
If True by itself, it not checking anything, so what does it do?
As far as I see, it checks if the frame is there, so sets the color? If so the else is useless and you need some way to turn the frame on and off - otherwise why have a conditional?
