Title: Dialog Window Customization
Post by: heirofmaul on Mon 02/04/2007 10:11:41
Is there a way of editing the properties of the default dialog window at the bottom of the screen (such as the background color and pixel-spacing from the side of the screen) or would I need to create a whole new GUI in order to do any modifications.

And if I DID need to make a GUI, will I need to make it big enough for as many options as I may EVER have throughout the game, or will it be able to change size or scroll down through other options when there are many?

Thanks.

Short answer:
No (no, no), yes.
No, yes.

You can change some of the settings, they can all be found in the dialog section in the general settings pane.
If you want to do any other modifications, you'll have to create a custom GUI.

AFAIK, you can use either a normal GUI or a Text Window GUI. The former will just display the dialog options, the latter will adjust its size and position according to the amount and length of the dialog options.

Ah, thank you.  I just wasn't wording it right to find what I needed.  Thanks again.
