How to change spacing of main menu buttons?

[rusicaria]

Hi guys, so I've changed the layout of the main menu buttons so that it's horizontal. Is there a way to change the position of each button individually, and if not, a way to even out the spacing between each button? Bare in mind I've tried using 'spacing' but nothing is really changing.

Thank you

You can set them to exact locations with xpos and ypos . . . is that what you're thinking of?

For example:

Code: Select all

textbutton _("Load") action ShowMenu("load") xpos 200 ypos 100

Yes and no. I understand how to change the location but still whenever I tried to change the exact location of each button the spacing between the different buttons still automatically moved with the rest. It's not an issue anymore because I changed the layout, but if anyone still knew how to change this then I'd still like to know

If you contained your buttons inside an hbox it should align themselves horizontally with even spaces... you can then set the spacing of each by setting it through the spacing property...

Code: Select all

screen navigation():
    hbox:
        spacing 10 # gives a 10 pixel-wide space between each button

        textbutton "button 1" action NullAction() 
        textbutton "button 2" action NullAction() 
        textbutton "button 3" action NullAction() 

also, if you didn't tamper with the navigation's screen alignment very well, you can find a variable in the navigation screen called `gui.navigation_spacing`. you can then set that globally to whatever you want to automatically adjust the spaces without going to the navigation screen and setting it by yourself.

Code: Select all

define gui.navigation_spacing = 10

# the default screen below...
screen navigation():

    vbox:
        style_prefix "navigation"

        xpos gui.navigation_xpos
        yalign 0.5

        spacing gui.navigation_spacing

        if main_menu:

            textbutton _("Start") action Start()

            textbutton _("Prologue") action Start("prologue")
        # other codes.... (truncated)
