Ren'Py Dialogue box opacity

[Peachiy]

Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well.

I want to add the ability to change the dialogue box opacity in my Ren'Py visual novel.

I managed to hide it completely, but I don't know how to add the option to change the dialogue box opacity.

Any tips on how to do this would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

So i've seen people using variations of this:

default persistent.textbox_transparency = 1.0 # Whatever you want the default to be.

screen say(who, what):
    style_prefix "say"

    window:
        id "window"
        background Transform(style.window.background, alpha = 1 - persistent.textbox_transparency, xalign=0.5)
        if who is not None:

            window:
                id "namebox"
                style "namebox"
                text who id "who"

        text what id "what" size persistent.pref_text_size


    ## If there's a side image, display it above the text. Do not display on the
    ## phone variant - there's no room.
    if not renpy.variant("small"):
        add SideImage() xalign 0.0 yalign 1.0

      
# For preferences screen
label _("Textbox Transparency")

bar value FieldValue(persistent, "textbox_transparency", range=1.0, style="slider")

It "SHOULD" work like that. Personally I dislike textboxs tho

Thank you I'll try it
