How do you change font color?

[Spence607 1]

Hey, sorry for all the questions.. I have so many. This time I was just wondering how you would edit scripts to change the font color of anything really. I mainly want to know this for the HP and SP display in battle, I want to change the color of it. And for colors do I have to use a code like the six character codes used in html or can I simply use color names?

 

Thanks.

Questions are good. Now, as for the disply in battle, it is run by draw_actor_hp and draw_actor_sp in the Window_Base class. Because of this, you'd have to change the syntaxes there, and that will effect ANY window that uses the methods draw_actor_hp or draw_actor_sp. Now, to change the color of the font in that window, you use the following syntax:

self.contents.font.color = Color.new(r, g, b, a)

red, green, blue, alpha, in numeric format from 0-255. Now, alpha is how 'transparent' the text is.

Other than by using the Color class command, you can also use the following:

normal_color = white

system_color = blue

disable_color = grey

Each with their own effect.
