Ren’Py Color Sliders

On Itch.IO

Allow players to choose colors via RGB/HSL color sliders!

Includes a screen named "color_picker" which when closed, returns the users selected color as a hex string.

Usage

1. Download the latest release cs-slim zip.

2. Unpack it in your project directory (the one right above game).

3. Call the color picker screen.

   label start:
       e "Pick a color."
   
       window hide
       $ bg_color = renpy.call_screen("color_picker")
       window show
   
       e "You selected the color {color=[bg_color]}[bg_color]{/color}"

4. Use the returned hex code string for whatever you like, for example changing the colors of the background, dialogue text, or character names.

   

Customization

You may be looking at this thing and thinking "wow, that’s kinda ugly," which is probably true. I don’t have an eye for design, and I don’t pretend to, but luckily the color picker screen and its styles are pretty simple and easily hackable.
