VN Ren'Py How to hide textbox (persistent)

[iOtero]

Hi, I want to make an option in the game that allows you to see the dark background of the texbox or not.
I have taken the following steps:

In script.rpy:

label splashscreen:
    $ ChangeTBox()
    return

In screens.rpy:

init -1 python:
    if persistent.tbox is None:
        persistent.tbox = False

    def ChangeTBox():
        gui.tbox = persistent.tbox

In screens.rpy -screen preferences()-

vbox:
    style_prefix "radio"
    label _("Textbox")
    textbutton _("Yes") action [SetVariable("persistent.tbox", True), ChangeTBox]
    textbutton _("No") action [SetVariable("persistent.tbox", False), ChangeTBox]

and:

style window:
    xalign 0.5
    xfill True
    yalign gui.textbox_yalign
    ysize gui.textbox_height
    if gui.tbox:
        background Image("gui/textbox.png", xalign=0.5, yalign=1.0)

And I get the following error:

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/screens.rpy", line 155: end of line expected.
    if gui.tbox:
    ^

What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help.

you want to us ConditionSwitch

default show_window = False

vbox:
    style_prefix "radio"
    label _("Textbox")
    textbutton _("Yes") action SetVariable("show_window", True)
    textbutton _("No") action SetVariable("show_window", False)


style window:
    xalign 0.5
    xfill True
    yalign gui.textbox_yalign
    ysize gui.textbox_height

    background ConditionSwitch('False', Null,
                            'True', Image("gui/textbox.png", xalign=0.5, yalign=1.0))

This is interesting, but for those of us that don't understand coding is there a quick and dirty file we can add to the game folder and have it remove the background color?

Thanks, but it doesn't work.

change null to Null(),

background ConditionSwitch('False', Null(),
                            'True', Image("gui/textbox.png", xalign=0.5, yalign=1.0))
