find this code

Code: Select all

screen navigation():

    vbox:
        style_prefix "navigation"

        xpos gui.navigation_xpos
        yalign 0.5
You then change

xpos gui.navigation_xpos
to
xalign 0.5

Simple enough, BUT a problem with this is that it will put the navigation buttons in the middle of the page on all screens that use navigation buttons (load, save about and so on)
I don't think you want that.

Fixing that would probably be a bit of work.

The easy approach to that problem, is to copy the relevant textbuttons and styles from the navigation screen, place them in a center aligned vbox (or hbox) and remove 'use navigation' from the main menu screen
