Android bottom menu

#1 Post by rames44 » Tue Apr 07, 2020 9:39 pm

When you do an Android build, you get a menu along the bottom that lets the user get to things like the game menu, skip, etc. (Since the user can't use the ESC key to bring up things like that.)

Is there a way of changing the style of those items - most particularly, to make the size of the buttons a bit bigger / change the font size / whatever? I'd like to make them a bit easier to hit for people with fat fingers like me...

Yes, that's part of the quick menu.
Look under screens.rpy and gui.rpy for sections labelled "mobile variants"

Alternatively, I have a ready to use portrait mode GUI specifically designed with Android devices in mind that may save you some time, if it is of interest to you.

Do note that I do occasional updates to this.

Ah, thank you. Didn’t dawn on me that they were part of the quick menu functionality.
