How to change the titlescreen bg when 'settings' is pressed

[sNooPy_DoGG]

So I've posted about this before, and haven't really figured out how to fix it.
I'm using renpy version 7.3.5, btw. I've achieved my desired results on renpy version 6.99.12, but can't seem to replicate it on 7.3.5, even with the same code.
Essentially what I'm trying to do is change the title bg when the "settings"/"preferences" button is pressed. I've tried several suggestions from previous posts I've made here, such as:

Code: Select all

        if renpy.get_screen("preferences"):
            add "mod_assets/bg/titlescreenblank.png"
        else:
            add "mod_assets/bg/titlescreen.png"

to no avail. Any help? I've been stuck on this problem for 4-5 months... I'll be sure to provide images/my code on request.

Just to be sure, you've placed this code in the game_screen, correct? Not the main_menu screen.

Hi! If I understand this correctly, this should help: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/gui.html#overlay-images

Figured it out. Apparently I had the "game_menu" and "main_menu" images both as my 1280x720 main menu, so when preferences was pressed it would try to add the sidebar, and then since the sidebar was a 1280x720 image then it wouldn't show the settings background. Fixed it, thanks all for your help
