How to reduce the space between blocks of text in nvl mode

[Skyleft]

I've been searching all over the renpy website trying to sort this out, but nothing that's listed there has any impact on what I'm trying to solve. Right now, there's a big space between every two blocks of text when I use nvl mode, and I'd like to shorten it.

I've tried altering "gui.nvl_height" to "None" and "gui.nvl_spacing" to a low value, in gui.rpy, but that makes no difference.
In options.rpy, I also tried adding the following, although it didn't do anything either:
"init python:
style.nvl_vbox.box_spacing = 10"

How would I do it?

go straight to screens.rpy and find NVL section, there you can find a vbox to add spacing to it.

It has no effect. If I create a new project, and simply add define "define gui.nvl_height = None," my problem gets fixed.
However, I also need to alter other parameters to properly align my text, so I need to also have this:
define gui.nvl_text_xpos = 0.1
define gui.nvl_text_ypos = 0.1
define gui.nvl_text_width = 995
define gui.nvl_thought_width = 995

As soon as I remove those, adding "None" to the height value works, however, with them there's no change, and I need all of them to work.

have you checked the screens.rpy file?
if you insert style parameters directly under a vbox, all other settings will be ignored.

I'm not sure what you mean, "under a vbox." What would I have to put, and where, exactly? Every change I've made has been on gui.rpy

oh, you need to learn a bit about screen language then:

I'm a bit late to this but I wanted to ask if OP was ever able to find a solution to this? I've tried going to screens.rpy and replacing the vbox spacing to 10 and it does work. Kind of. But only for the first two blocks of text and the rest of the lines of text just don't appear anymore.
