How can you change specific style text size at runtime?

I tried this code, but it doesn't actually make the text bigger.

Code: Select all

    def func_text_size_adjust():
        print gui.text_size
        #style.default.size = 99
        style.default.size = 99
        style.radio_button_text.size = 99
        #style.rebuild()
        gui.rebuild()

(I know about the accessibility menu, but that kind of text scaling affects everything in an uncontrolled manner, so text looks out of place and broken.)

The proper way would probably be to register alternatives for selected styles and then changing it with set_style_preference

Or use GUI preferences:

Thanks! I'm trying the StylePreference route now, but what's odd is that when I register a style preference, the change takes place immediately after the registering.

As soon as the game runs this line on startup, it immediately changes the text size, instead of waiting until I set it via textbutton action StylePreference....

Code: Select all

init python:
     #this instantly changes the text size.
     renpy.register_style_preference("text", "id83", style.radio_button_text, "size", 75)
     #this immediately changes the text size, is it supposed to do that?
     renpy.register_style_preference("size", "20", style.default, "size", 20)

If you have only one alternative, it would be selected and applied by default. If you want to switch between them, you need to have at least two.

I assumed the default would be whatever is in the screens.rpy. So, if you set a default size of 33 in the screens.rpy file, then that should be the default. Then when you register an alternative style, it doesn't kick in until you set it. If you have to register your own default stylepreference, then that means the default values in the screens.rpy have no use and just take up space?

Still, not a big deal, just speculating. This is still very useful though and I plan to implement it! Thanks again.

So, if you set a default size of 33 in the screens.rpy file, then that should be the default. Then when you register an alternative style, it doesn't kick in until you set it.

If you request the name of the current alternative, what should it return? How to change back when you have switched to alternative already?

If you have to register your own default stylepreference, then that means the default values in the screens.rpy have no use and just take up space?

You could just not define them in the first place. There are many ways to write code which will not do anything and just take up space.
