Very often I come upon a very nice background picture, just to see that it makes reading any displayed dialogue near impossible, because the test is displayed in a colour too close to that of the background..
Kona has added the option to define a font from within a dialogue, but as it seems, this uses the basic colour setting and doesn't solve this problem..
being able to either set the text colour - for all text, without differences for Him, Her or Thought lines - or the transparency value for the textbox itself would help a lot..
aaaand being able to set the colour of the Him and Her/Thought lines seperately would be an added bonus ^^
Seconded! This would be highly desirable. I would also like a new Style (perhaps called "None") that would have a completely transparent textbox, so that the user wouldn't notice when a line in this style was called or triggered. For instance:
line:"[ARMS_BACK]" {"style":"None"}
would simply make her put her arms back without any textbox or text appearing. Of course, this style set shouldn't care about her mouth being occupied, like Thought and Him.

Ive asked about this too a long time ago when dialogue was first implemented. All I got was "dialogue is lame" Still the ability to change color would be nice. Also, what fonts are definable through the dialogue? Just basic like Arial, New Times Roman and such?
here, test this out and see if anything breaks or functions oddly

(although it is actually the same one due to revision capabilities. i don't want excess links around though that i will have to clean up later)
- modifies alpha and text and background of the dialog box.
hmm.. doesn't really work for me..
Changing alpha for text and background works - though setting the alpha for text <1 is kinda... useless? If the text is supposed to be better to be read, making it less visible does quite the opposite, doesn't it?
Changing alpha for the testbox / background works. But it's kinda the same problem as with the text - one should be able to raise the alpha, so the box get's darker, so the text can be seen better..
Changing text colour works.
Changing the box colour only works until a different style is called up. Then it goes back to a grey-ish colour.
- delays box from showing until actual text (spaces are text). used when actions before dialog would've popped up blank window
uhm.. not sure if that's supposed to do what I think it is supposed to do ^^
used the short script in the spoiler for testing:
DEFAULT:
all:"CLEAR"
1 - intro:"Testing HIM [intro01]" {"style":"Him"}
2 - intro01:"Testing HER [intro02]"
3 - intro02:"Testing THOUGHT [intro03]" {"style":"thought"}
4 - intro03:"[ARMS_BACK] Arms on the back [intro04]" {"style":"Him"}
5 - intro04:"[ARMS_LEGS][intro05]" {"style":"thought"}
6 - intro05:"And back to the legs [intro]"
( added line numbers, so the following makes more sense ;) )
result:
The first line is displayed in a HIM style box, but the second line is too.. or at least seems to be, as there's no real visual difference between the two styles.
The third line is also displayed in HIM style, and not as THOUGHT which it should be.
Line four is displayed in a HIM box.
Line 5 shows up as a blank THOUGHT style box. From what I've read, it's not supposed to show, right?
And the last line, number six, shows as HIM style again...
So, unless I've messed up seriously, it's a first step in the right direction, but still a wee bit buggy..
In case I've messed up the settings, I include the dialoguedisplayeditV1settings I've used in the next spoiler..
