Ren'Py Save and Load pages

[Conniver's Kunai]

Hi everyone, I have a problem with coding. I am using imagemap for the GUI. And now I don’t know how to label pages in Save and Load. I mean auto, quick, 1, 2, 3 etc pages. Like If I need to open preferences then I write hotspot(something) action ShowMenu('preferences'), what do I need to write for pages?
The second problem is that when I save then the frame from the game is not displayed on save or load slot. It just shows the background that I set. Just a white square. I tried a transparent background then there’s just nothing but saving works.

Here is a sample code:

screen save:
    tag menu
    imagemap:
        ground 'something'
        idle 'something'
        hover 'something'
        hotspot(-1, -1, -1, -1) action FilePage('auto')
        hotspot(something) action Start('start')
        hotspot(something) action ShowMenu('preferences')
        hotspot(something) action ShowMenu('load')
        hotspot(something) action FileAction(0):
            use load_save_slot(number=0)
screen load:
    tag menu
    imagemap:
        ground 'something'
        idle 'something'
        hover 'something'
        hotspot(-1, -1, -1, -1) action FilePage('auto')
        hotspot(something) action Start('start')
        hotspot(something) action ShowMenu('preferences')
        hotspot(something) action ShowMenu('load')
        hotspot(something) action FileAction(0):
            use load_save_slot(number=0)   
screen load_save_slot

This is not the final code, but it basically shows all the aspects that are needed. And to be honest, I have no idea what "hotspot(-1, -1, -1, -1) action FilePage('auto')" does.

what do I need to write for pages?

hotspot(something) action FilePage(Number_Of_The_Page)

Probably because Ren'py do not understood that it was on the save page. But I can be wrong on this one.

And to be honest, I have no idea what "hotspot(-1, -1, -1, -1) action FilePage('auto')" does.

It open the "auto save" page. And FilePage("quick") open the "quick save" page.

It open the "auto save" page. And FilePage("quick") open the "quick save" page.

Thank you a lot! I will try this
