Centering text inside a frame [solved]

[Hoomst]

I have a small image on which I'd like to display a centered text.
I figured using a frame with the image as the background would be an easy way to do that
While I can use xpos and ypos to adjust the position of the text, xalign and yalign don't seem to do anything.

What's the best way to have an image with a centered text on top?

Code: Select all

screen hud:
    frame:
        xpadding 0 ypadding 0
        if days == 1:
            background "GameUI/HUD/day_counter_1.png"
        else:
            background "GameUI/HUD/day_counter_2.png"  
        text "Day [days]":
            xalign 0.5 yalign 0.5
            style "qsb26"

Set frame size explicitely. By default frame will be just as large as largest child, in your case it would be as large, as contained text. Text is not moved, because there is no place for it to move.

You can also use fixed.

Code: Select all

fixed fit_first True:
    add "an image"
    text "a text"
