discussion Every game should have transparent textbox option!

I actually like the box as long as I can hide it when I want, I think it makes it easier to read and in ren'py it's easy to just press h or middle mb when i want to see behind it.

I agree the textbox not being transparent isn't really important as long as I can hide it. Games where you can and then the box hides half the image are very frustrating.

Why, as an artist/creator, would you want big box covering a quarter of your art? (And often the most *interesting* quarter.)

Just use white text with black outline and you can still read it over any background.

Transparent box should be built in to Renpy, but until it is, every renpy creator should add the option.

Why not press the key which hides box and text completely, then press it again to continue game?

Especially the ones where you have to press things on the screen while being cockblocked by said textbox
