How to adjust scrollbar size?

[Imperf3kt]

I'd like to make my scrollbars larger, but I don't seem to be able to.
I assumed I adjusted this number in gui.rpy

Code: Select all

define gui.scrollbar_size = 24

But it doesn't change anything even if I set the number ridiculously high.

Any chance you've applied custom style to scrollbar(s), 'cause changing gui.scrollbar_size worked for me (scrollbars in preferences menu and in game)?

[Imperf3kt]

Possibly. Although I did check my entire project for every instance of "scrollbar" and the only place I defined it was the default line in gui.rpy

Ill try on a new blank project and see if the issue persists.

If it does not, check scrollbars in your project with style inspector to see, where they get their style properties from.

I've checked everything I possibly can, nothing should be causing this.
According to the style inspector, it is just following the style "scrollbar"

which is defined as "gui.scrollbar", same as all my other projects.



Yet the ysize refuses to change from 25


Adjusting the size in other projects works as expected (although it doesn't adjust the size of the thumb) and I've checked the files for differences but cannot find any.


After messing around with everything I could think of I added my own custom style:

Code: Select all

style role_screen_scrollbar:
    ysize 60
    base_bar Frame("gui/scrollbar/horizontal_[prefix_]bar.png", gui.scrollbar_borders, tile=gui.scrollbar_tile)
    thumb Frame("gui/scrollbar/horizontal_[prefix_]thumb.png", gui.scrollbar_borders, tile=gui.scrollbar_tile)

If I use gui.scrollbar_size it doesn't work, but using an integer works just fine.

This works well enough, but I'd still like to find out why gui.scrollbar_size refuses to work.

Check in console what is the value of gui.scrollbar_size actually is.
If it is 25, then something must have overwritten original assignment.
If it is 60, as expected, rebuild styles in game.
If it fixes scrollbar size, the you have weird problem with order of initialization.
If it didn't, then something even more weird happened.

I'm actually thinking its this, but tracking it down is difficult.

Unfortunately, rebuilding styles is not a viable option. I'll make a backup and test, but I likely cannot use that option due to heavy customization.
The console reports it as 25 though, so I don't think its a style issue. Though, there's literally nothing overwriting it as far as I can tell, I've checked the entire game several times over.


Thanks for the help so far. If I find out what is happening, I'll post the solution here.

You probably did this already, but: did you rename any rpy files recently or at tall? Did you try deleting all rpyc files to make sure there isn't any old data remaining? I had problem once when no changes to certain rpy file were registered. Turns out, corresponding rpyc file creation date was set in the future, and game thought that it is newer than recently changed rpy file.

I haven't renamed any rpy files but I have made some which I use for setting variables and additional screens, though not recently.

I have tried forcing recompile, which is the same as deleting the rpyc files and regenerating them, right?

Also, check the names of your files - files are processing in alphabetical order (once I named file starting with underscore and got some issues), and the priority of different init blocks.
