Changing Window Styles in Game

[JackMonty]

Hi,

I tried adding the code you specified to the AMS script under the update section (See below)

Code:

def update

super

if
  @message_box_skin != $game_system.windowskin_name
  @message_box_skin = $game_system.windowskin_name
end


if @fade_in
  self.contents_opacity += 24
  if @input_number_window != nil
    @input_number_window.contents_opacity += 24
  end
  if self.contents_opacity == 255
    @fade_in = false
  end
  return
end
@now_text = nil if @now_text == ""

if @now_text != nil and @mid_stop == false
  if @write_wait > 0
    @write_wait -= 1
    return
  end
  text_not_skip = LETTER_BY_LETTER_MODE
  while true
    @max_x = @x if @max_x < @x
    @max_y = @y if @max_y < @y
    if (c = @now_text.slice!(/./m)) != nil
      if c == "\000"
        c = "\\"
      end

        @now_text.sub!(/\[([0123456789ABCDEF#]+)\]/, "")
        temp_color = $1
        color = temp_color.to_i
        leading_x = temp_color.to_s.slice!(/./m)
        if leading_x == "#"
          self.contents.font.color = hex_color(temp_color)
          next
        end
        if color >= 0 and color <= 7
          self.contents.font.color = text_color(color)
        end
        next
      end

That didn't work and I also added it at the end of the update def too but that didn't work either - the text box just refuses to update! At least now I'm looking in the right place, I thought this was being controlled by the Window_Message script before!

I tired tweaking a few more things in the AMS scrit but still no luck...
