Choice menu position and transparency changes (0.1.2 beta)
Added 2018-09-16 11:06:26 +0000 UTCHi guys and gals,
with 0.1.2 beta and later versions, the choice menu will be changed.
- Position is no longer in the middle, but very far up now
- Oppacity has been reduced, so that you can see better what's behind
- Spacing/distance between the menu choices has been reduced as well
Also the text box at the lower end of the screen has been changed. I have made it smaller and less intruding.
All these changes should help to get an even better game experience.
Hope you like them.

Hi Sam, it works wirh an anchor system. You can either anchor it on top or bottom. The screenshot is with top anchor. Which means additional options will be added below. I've already changed it (again) and moved it to the very bottom (with bottom anchor). Additional options will be added above in that case. No matter what I do or where I put it - too many options and it will always be in the way.

2018-09-17 18:20:25 +0000 UTCOut of curiosiy: How does it work with several answer-options? Right now, with only two, it looks decent but won't it obscure the face of the person when you do like the several-answer chat?
2018-09-17 15:33:39 +0000 UTCI know. You are right about your observation. It's a trade off. I can put it at the bottom, but it will be in the way obscuring stuff a lot more often than when it's on top.

2018-09-16 14:25:43 +0000 UTCIt's not a complete redesign. Only what is directly needed is visible. Everything else is already in sub menues. I'm really not a big fan of the new UI crap microsoft and most of the other companies are putting out nowadays. Not everything has to look like made for a mobile phone if I use it on a PC. Why should I have to click 3 times instead of just once.

2018-09-16 14:25:35 +0000 UTCYes, it looks good, although it is too rich. I would remove some of the not-too-used functions in some extra menu

2018-09-16 11:24:15 +0000 UTCThanks buddy. I hope it does. Even wanted to make it configurable. But right now, Ren'Py doesn't support it without writing my own code to display the choice menu, which was too much work. I hope the new positioning and the other changes work well enough for everyone.
