I agree! on the transparent text box...my balls have been blue in between releases and I DON`T want a fucking opaque text box adding more to the problem:tf:I figured that the best background for the text window is an invisible one.A black outline and a little shadow added to white text will make it readable on any kind of background scene without the need of a half-transparent window covering up to a quarter of the scene in some games.
BTW, Sorry for my English being sluggish at times, I guess I used the word "redundant" in an awkward context or something. :winkytongue:

I agree with you - an outlined font with dark/light is ideal for virtually all backgrounds, totally! And transparent is my typical setting, though I vary it, content depending as well, if the lower portion of the bg image doesn't impress me, heh.I figured that the best background for the text window is an invisible one.

I haven't investigated anything like outline, shadow, etc.. in RenPy yet -- do tell! I played something that had a "floating" capability, to re-position the text at will - that was kinda cool too.
Oh - no, your English is excellent. In fact, you didn't really misuse the word even - for me, it's always meant "repetitive, overlapping, duplicating" (effort, function, or etc..), "doing the same thing as was already done" - but another def is near to synonymous with the word I would use - superfluous, which doesn't really mean "duplicate", but means "unnecessary, no-added-value, dead-weight" - like many of the words in my posts, I fear ;-) doh!... Truth is, I am likely biased by years of using "redundant" as a computer term (like in RAID, or in multiple (redundant) servers for use in load-balancing, Failover scenarios, etc.. and other superfluous words I use impulsively after a 3rd cup of java. You're good, for sure.
LOL!

I don't have much to say about outlines, Ren'Py wiki is all you need:
You must be registered to see the links
A simple patch (in my sig) adds outlines to the dialog box and name label text and changes dialog text color to white. That's 5 lines of code in the beginning of the file.
4 more lines to remove background images from both of the boxes.
Everything else is there to override some non-standard gui configuration in some specific games, override character-specific text styling or change some tiresome-to-read fonts with Ren'Py default (DejaVu Sans).
I guess I could have added some other functionality, like enable dev console, rollback etc, but there are other tools for it already made by other people and I wanted to limit this patch to styling only, so people can use it separately from other tools as they see fit.

Sadly, i have the same feeling, that she will be missing in this (and maybe in next update - bcs she is gone for 2 weeks) ...
