Ren'Py How to resize the textbox according to the words amount?

For example: If the dialogue inside of the textbox is "...", the textbox will appear small (with an minimum size, of course). But if it has a bigger dialogue, the textbox will appear in a bigger size.

By using the xminimum/xmaximum and yminimum/ymaximum in the "say_dialogue" style.

Please, don't do that. I know that a small text in a big dialog box can feel weird, but a dialog box that would constantly change its size would quickly become annoying for most players.

Really? It seemed so praticall, I did not know that most of players find it annoying. Well, thanks anyway.

I'd say most players don't want a textbox at all, unless it's something really creative that fits the game's flair. The transparent textbox mod is probably one of the most demanded ones on the whole site. I don't think I've ever seen an adaptative textbox like the one you suggest, though, but I can imagine it being annoying after a while.
