discussion Text box in A-games is annoying, Opacity or transparency options should not be optional.

Not sure what your take on it but for me there is nothing annoying when there is a game with good action or good art and there is no option for getting rid of the box taking 3rd of a screen sometimes obscuring the view. Yes middle mouse button is there but that gets tedious. What do you think?

It’s mostly a design issue. Using a reasonably large, bold font with sufficient contrast against the background can solve the problem in many cases, but the box itself should ideally be resizable, collapsible, or removable so it doesn’t obscure the view.

I hate text boxes too. I use the Universal Renpy Mod to remove them.

It doesn't work for every game unfortunately, but it does for a lot of them. Put it in the game folder then load your game. Choose "textboxes", then "add", and there you can uncheck the text box background. Then you have to check "enable"

it really depends on the games. Sometime the text boxes cover waaay too much of the actual h-scene and having to turn it off and on again to fully see every change is tedious. Luckily this seems to happen quite less now that the super old rpg maker engine is been chosen less and less to make games
