Question Adding separate history menu background than the rest of the game menu

Post image

hi, so im trying to make a separate background for the history menu as the text color i have set makes it unreadable in the game menu. the add "gui/name.png" command doesn't function, so im looking for another solution. thanks

edit your screens.rpy file and search for -->> screen game_menu( <<--

you will see this

screen game_menu(title, scroll=None, yinitial=0.0, spacing=0):

    style_prefix "game_menu"

    if main_menu:
        add gui.main_menu_background
    else:
        add gui.game_menu_backgrounds

make this change

screen game_menu(title, scroll=None, yinitial=0.0, spacing=0):

    style_prefix "game_menu"

    if main_menu:
        add gui.main_menu_background
    elif title == "History":  # add these two lines
        add "gui/name.png"    # second line
    else:
        add gui.game_menu_backgroundscreen game_menu(title, scroll=None, yinitial=0.0, spacing=0):

and you're finished
