[Solved] Glowing text/button hovers help

[nerupuff]

Hi! I'm still a relative newbie when it comes to some advanced customization of GUI and the like, so I figured it might be best to ask for help for now since I think I got stuck somewhere.

I've been experimenting with using "outlines" on style properties for text and so far I managed to get it working to look like it is glowing, but I can't figure out where to place it if I want all buttons to glow UPON mouse hovers and changing the glow color to something different when it's been actively clicked.

This is the glow code I use (it's a bit rough, I'll fix it as well soon)

Code: Select all

outlines [ (3, "#ffe6ff", 0, 0), (2, "#ffccff", 0, 0),(1, "#ffb3ff", 0, 0),  ]

Which I then append to this:

Code: Select all

style button_text is gui_text:
    properties gui.text_properties("button")
    yalign 0.5

But so far, it just appears as static glow. I'm not sure where to fit it in for hover and selected in choices and in buttons. I tried checking the gui.rpy and I found this:

Code: Select all

## The color that is used for buttons and bars that are hovered.
define gui.hover_color = '#cc0066'

## The color used for a text button when it is selected but not focused. A
## button is selected if it is the current screen or preference value.
define gui.selected_color = '#555555'

But it's only for solid color changes. Please help me if I am missing something.

Yes, so try something like this

Code: Select all

define gui.button_text_hover_outlines = [ (3, "#ffe6ff", 0, 0), (2, "#ffccff", 0, 0),(1, "#ffb3ff", 0, 0),  ]

Thank you so much! It worked! I'll also experiment with this code snippet so I can come up with more effects.
