if (interface == 3) { //this is the bar
   

    if (button == 0) {   // turn on Options-GUI when they click on "File"
      SetMouseCursor(0);

      InterfaceOn(4); // this is the window
      }
   
}

my repeatedly_execute is empty. this script is from interface_click

i made the upper bar as a popup GUI. if i go with the mouse in the 1-9 line it pops up, if i click on the "File"  the popup winow appears( the bar stays becouse i deleted the line with the GuiOff). fine. but  if my mouse on the window area then the bar disappears, and only the window stay.

im a rookie as u can see it, but i have already made my own quite and text window, so i know a little bit about GUIs.(but not enough... )

I started to make my own Sierra menubar becouse i havn't found anything like i want.
if i click on "File" a new GUI should pop up. the problem is that it's no squer format.
It looks like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------
-------              -----------------------------------------
        |             |
        |             |
         -----------

and it just wont fit in the grey GUI format.  any idea?

I don't exactly understand your question.

but i do exatcly understand your answer;)
i tried to make my first text window and i've overseen the option "foreground color". now it works fine. thank you

if a character interact a hotspot the msg (set normal text) displays in blue. i want to change it to black. how?

i use v2.62 (Build 2.62.509)

thank you for the hint wit the debug mode. problem solved!;)

the fonts; i dont wann to edit but work whit them in neopaint. ( i wann to make my own GUI and i need them to make the buttons. i write my plan here down, maybe there is an easier solution, and i wont have to fool around whit the fonts: if i point up in the status bar on the "File", a window should pop up below it, meanwhile  the white background turns into black, and black letters into white. and the same effect happens while i click each of the functions (save game, load game,quit..) on. just like the good old sierra menu bar...)

ok. i looked after how can i do my custom GUI. im think i getting undertand it. The links u gave me were also helpful.
i tried all the agt's from the site, but non of them has the white sierra bar what im looking for. an agt (SCI PointClick.agt) is made from the 2nd part of Larry and it could be the right one, but it doesnt work. (error msg and the programm exits).
does anyone have a working version, or there is no another possibility, but i have to make my own white bar?

how can i export the sierra typ fonts (eg. fonts.060) in to *.ttf? converting from ttf to sierra/ags font is not the problem, but i want to work with sierra write-layout in neopaint/paintshop.

it is possible to remove the "ctrl+v=version" hotkey function? i deleted its line from the global script, but it hasn't any effect. whit "ctrl+a=show walkable area" did the same work.

hi.
-how can i make a classical Sierra GUI (i mean the white menu bar whit the "file" popup window where the player can his game save ? ) is there around a gui file like this?
-how can i define a hotkey?
thanks Swegi

hi i had some questions abot this two software;

DPaint IV
1.if i save a pic in DPaint, under the bars (top, bottom, right side) stays white. how can i solve this prob.?
2.the gradient fill works only horizontal.what can i do if i want something fill out bottom up?

NeoPaint
1.i already told in an another topic, that something is wrong with the gradient fill.(or just im too stupid to understand how it works : sometimes i have to click four times till it does anything, and it happens often that the whole screen filled out instead of the area i clicked on. strange...  maybe programm error
2 how can i mix colors? (pic attribute; 320x200x256) ther are on the palette 256 colors but what is if want to work with a special one (eg. R48 G48 B176). how can i find or mix it out?

is it possible to use paintshop pro in 256 color mode?
