Scrolling Text Box Opacity

[Myrmidone]

Hi there,


I'm having a problem with Scrolling Text being difficult to read when overlaid on a map, but find that increasing the opacity of the text box makes the text look less classy as it has a border, and doesn't look as good when playing over a blank background, such as during an intro.


I'd like a way to change the opacity for each text box individually, and also to remove the border from the box if that is possible.


I know I can change the default opacity for a text box by changing the self.opacity = line in Window_ScrollText, but this adds in a border and also messes up my intro text which I would like to be 0 opacity.


I have searched for a solution to an issue I am having but can't seem to find a solution to it, I'm hoping somebody can help me out.


To recap I'm using the Show Scrolling Text command in a couple of different scenarios:

• To scroll intro text (0 opacity is perfect here)
  
• To scroll text over a map (need some opacity here or text is too hard to read)
  

If possible the solutions I would like are:

• Some way to change the opacity of each Scrolling Text box individually
  
• To remove the visible borders from the Scrolling Text box when opacity is above 0
  

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!

You can just put a picture between your background and the scrolling text. It's maybe not the most elegant solution, but it always worked nicely for me.
