Scrollbar position in History screen

#1 Post by arty »

Hey folks,

I'm trying to customize the History screen a bit. Really all I'm trying to do is move up the scrollbar a little. Just a few pixels. But I don't even know how to start doing this.

For reference, I didn't change anything about the standard code yet, so it looks like this:

Code: Select all

screen history():

    tag menu

    ## Avoid predicting this screen, as it can be very large.
    predict False

    use game_menu(_("History"), scroll=("vpgrid" if gui.history_height else "viewport"), yinitial=1.0):

        style_prefix "history"

        for h in _history_list:

            window:

                ## This lays things out properly if history_height is None.
                has fixed:
                    yfit True

                if h.who:

                    label h.who:
                        style "history_name"
                        substitute False

                        ## Take the color of the who text from the Character, if
                        ## set.
                        if "color" in h.who_args:
                            text_color h.who_args["color"]

                $ what = renpy.filter_text_tags(h.what, allow=gui.history_allow_tags)
                text what:
                    substitute False

        if not _history_list:
            label _("The dialogue history is empty.")
Any help would be appreciated!

The scrollbar in the history screen is actually part of the game_menu screen vbox.
You can edit gui.rpy to adjust the positioning, or you could change the style for just the history screen.

I can't help with doing these at the moment, but I should have some time later today if you require help.

I would like to only change it for the history screen, if possible. If you can give me any pointers how to do it, I would be grateful. :)
