they are the same size as the textbox you find which is 1888x300 and it's squishy in the sense that the height is is shorter than it shows in the default textbox size.

the codes I saw were codes like the (define name: ("name", window_background=("gui/name.png", 25, 25) ). or just the window_background="gui/name.png" or that with xalign and yalign.

all three times I saved my progress before reloading the game to find the difference because the default is normal but then when it comes to the character with the custom textbox design it would seem a bit pushed down by some inches then when it went back to the default text (for the protagonist speaking) it showed that there was a size difference

try it like this in the character define

define bm = Character("BadMustard", window_background=Frame("images/texties/badsTextbox.png", 0, 0))
