[solved] xalign 1.0 doesn't move my text to the right side

[HochElf]

Hi, wasn't active with RenPy in a long time and thought with the new version I could go back and have some fun.
So I wrote a little screen for my Interface but instead of separating the two items in the hbox "xalign"' seems to be ignored.

Code: Select all

screen scr_topBar():
    frame:
        xpos 0
        ypos 0
        xsize 1280
        ysize 75

        hbox:
            xsize 1280
            text s_location
            text "€" + str(mc.i_cash) xalign 1.0    #this part should be at the right side of my bar

Hi, HochElf,

You don't need hbox for that:

Code: Select all

screen scr_topBar():
    frame:
        xpos 0
        ypos 0
        xsize 1280
        ysize 75
        text s_location
        text "€" + str(mc.i_cash) xalign 1.0

EDIT:
Alternatively, you can use xfill attribute:

Code: Select all

screen scr_topBar():
    frame:
        xpos 0
        ypos 0
        xsize 1280
        ysize 75
        hbox:
            xminimum 1280
            xfill True
            text s_location
            text "€" + str(mc.i_cash) xalign 1.0

Thanks, that resolved the problem on the visual part, but not on the understanding part. What did I make wrong? Why didn't worked it out in an hbox?

I think it makes everything clear if you change text to textbutton and add background:
Compare:

Code: Select all

hbox:
    xsize 1280
    textbutton s_location background "#888"
    textbutton "€" + str(mc.i_cash) xalign 1.0 background "#808"   #this part should be at the right side of my bar

VS:

Code: Select all

hbox:
    xsize 1280
    xfill True
    textbutton s_location background "#888"
    textbutton "€" + str(mc.i_cash) xalign 1.0 background "#808"   #this part should be at the right side of my bar

Even if hbar size is full width it does not use whole width, unless you specify to do it with xfill True.

Ahh. So the hbox is dynamic within its with even with a set size. Didn't know that. Thank you very much.
