Changing the color of theme buttons

[goldo]

Hi,

I've noticed that when using a theme, Ren'py creates colored buttons on the fly turning these base grey images:



into this, for instance:


or this:


However, changing the 'background' option in screen language does not just change the color of the buttons; it reverts them to solid blocks.

How can I do the same thing as Ren'Py does with the theme, and create various shades of colored buttons using a given theme? I could of course copy and paste the images in a paint-like program and change the colors one by one, but I'm looking for a better way?

Look for the themes section in options.rpy. You can edit the colors there, if you want.

Thanks! I guess my question is, how can I get more colors for my buttons (not just one set)? I don't want to change the color of all buttons, but I want to have a way of having blue buttons on a screen, green on another, orange on yet another screen, etc.

I'm guessing I would have to set up several themes in a similar way that the original theme must be doing, but I'm not sure how that would work...

That's pretty complicated actually. You can see the inner workings of theme in 00theme.rpy in the common files.
