Opacity of main textbox

#1 Post by isobellesophia »

Hello

Looks like i didnt found anything about what i want..
I would like to change the opacity of the textbox and the namebox instead of fully 100% opacity, i would like into 50 or 40% of the opacity.. but i havent found nothing and it wont work.. can somebody make me an example perhaps?

Thank you in advance.
I am a friendly user, please respect and have a good day.

I've been wondering about this too, the only way I've found is to create a transform to change the alpha (alpha is the name Renpy uses for opacity) and show the window at that transform:

Code: Select all

# a transform that changes the opacity to any value yo pass, between 0.0 and 1. For example, for 50% opacity, you'd pass 0.5
transform opaque(x=1):
    alpha x
    
screen say(who, what):
    style_prefix "say"

    window:
        id "window"
        at opaque(.5) #add this to the say screen
There might be a better way though.
The most important step is always the next one.

You would have to make your own cause we don't what type of textbox and namebox you would like

if you have Photoshop or any other photo editing program would help to do that for you

the images you need to edit is in the gui folder called namebox.png

Actually, what i mean is the opaque of the textbox, (sorry if i said opacity, not good at english) my textbox was already transparent so... like for example, the textbox in game is 100% clean, and of course, making the textbox a bit ghostly..

I don't know if there's a code for it, but you can always make the textbox transparent in your art program, save it as a PNG file and use that for the image.
