Title: GUI buttons grayed out during wait
Post by: spaceoddity on Sun 23/05/2010 19:07:13
I am a making a Maniac Mansion style GUI, where the GUI is always visible on the lower portion of the screen. My buttons are black with light text. Every time my character performs an action that causes the "wait" icon to appear (like speaking, or eBlock), the buttons get an ugly grayed out appearance, like they are indicating that they can't be pushed during that time.

How do I stop it from doing that? It's ugly.

Thank you!

Theres an option in the general settings pane that allows you to change that behavior.
