Textbox not showing on emulated android phone

[Panchoman777]

Everything works fine in the pc and tablet version but when I try the phone version it just show a black square instead of my custom textbox. Does anybody know what is happening?

Heres an image of the problem.

Look for a section called mobile variants on both gui.rpy and screens.rpy


You get that image instead of what you expect because renpy forcefully creates a different look for Android/iOS devices in an attempt to keep things easily readable/interactable on the relatively small size of a mobile phone screen.

Look for the phone folder, here is the path..

nameoftheprject/gui/phone/


That is where you find the another textbox for mobile phone.

Ok, thanks to you I fixed that issue... but now the namebox doesn't show, its behind the textbox and from the gui file, phone section I can only modify its X position, but Im unable to move it up and down.

You can add a ypos and xpos, then put it to the top of the textbox.
