Penfold Mole -

I've been using this mod, [v2.6.4], for a long while now, . . . mostly on games that don't have a in-built, "variable opacity dialog box" function already included .

I like the idea of the "variable opacity dialog box", but I haven't found one already packaged up for use, in games that don't have that function, and I have no talent in that field, to do it myself .

Now, on to my reason of being here :
I hadn't noticed before, but recently, while using this mod, when wanting to take a screenshot, and pressing "h", to remove the dialog . . . it's not working, as-in, like that "option" has been disabled .

It that a part of the mods 'normal' function, or, is that not supposed to happen, as-in it's a "Bug" ?

Thanks for your Mod, and your time to read this .

Never tried it, so no clue at this point.
Thanks for reporting anyway.

You could give a try to this

It works in a few other games where dialog design is locked to each game character settings, not to global game settings. I don't know if this could be the reason why the regular transparency patch doesn't work, but it's worth a try.
Also easily removable in case it doesn't work, works in unexpected ways or stops the game from working at all.

I am an idiot, I didn't realize Desert Stalker has a built in transparency setting that you can adjust, maybe that's why it didn't work?

Is there a reverse mod like this that adds in a text box with varying opacities options?

Press the "a"-key while playing the game to open Ren'Py accessibility options

This doesn't work for me. I installed the mod (thank you, by the way). The accessibility settings screen seems cut off or something, it doesn't show anything about text size. Please see the screenshot below.

Is there any other way to reduce text size? I'd be fine with changing code in the mod.

I prefer much smaller text size in almost all games anyway. And moving the text box close to the center which I've seen some game mods allow.

Appreciate the mod and your help :)

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured out a workaround. In y_outline.rpy I added the following code in the Init section:
define gui.text_size = 20

Now my only question is, how can I move/offset the textbox to the right so that it's closer to the center? Currently in this and many games the text starts too far to the left on the screen.
