Dear all,
I am using Soel's Quest Status http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,43879.msg498396.html#msg498396 (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,43879.msg498396.html#msg498396) for my status screen. Earlier some of you were able to correct a mistake with the maximum level - I am still grateful for that!
:-\
I have another request to make. I don't use any borders or backgrounds for my menu. This means that - upon entering the menu - the game blurs and darkens slightly, and is still visible. Alas! Using Soel's status screen, when choosing no picture as background it turns to solid black! It breaks the overall style.
Does anyone know what I should change in the code to render the background transparent?
Thank you all very much in advance.
Yours,
~ Geoff

You also DON'T need to have this
#actor id #Image name
1 => "Dark_menu",
2 => "Ulrika",
3 => "Bennett",
4 => "Ylva"
You can delete that if you want (means you also won't need to have any pictures in your picture folder to take up space.
Talk about a speedy result. I'm impressed! Thank you so much - this keeps the atmosphere intact.
I will keep the actor-id image names, for I'm using artwork (with transparent background) much as the example in Soel's demo.
You are a wizard. Cheers!
