Positioning the Title in the game menu?

#1 Post by VideoGameVet »

Currently, my game title, at the start of the program, appears at the lower right in the game menu. Is there a config item to position it in a different location?

In screens.rpy under 'screen main_menu():' look for

Code: Select all

style main_menu_vbox:
    xalign 1.0
    xoffset -10
    xmaximum 400
    yalign 1.0
    yoffset -10

I would have thought the important bit would be under the main_menu screen:

Code: Select all

    if gui.show_name:
        vbox:
            xalign 0.97
            yalign 0.04
Adjust the numbers to move the position. The numbers given approximate to the top right.

The part Per K Grok suggested is to align the text within the vbox, but it doesn't align the vbox iself.
