Bar at the top of the screen

[bonnet1902]

I am a beginner at Ren'py and was experiencing difficulties in making a bar at the top of the screen which displays some clickable images and some just for show.

Currently, I have this code:
screen topBar():
frame:
xpos 0
ypos 0
xsize 1920
ysize 75
hbox:
text str(mc.name)
text str(mc.cash)

However, I am unsure of how to display this bar on top all the time.
I tried "use topBar" in screens, but I only managed to get to show anytime a character said something.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

What you're trying to do is essentially similar to what the quick menu does. You should look at its code in the screens.rpy file.

It also has this block in there:

Code: Select all

## This code ensures that the quick_menu screen is displayed in-game, whenever
## the player has not explicitly hidden the interface.
init python:
    config.overlay_screens.append("quick_menu")
