Window/Text Padding

APP_WindowPadding v1.0
by: AppointedPie

 

Introduction
A small script that allows you to enter custom values for the Global settings for Line Height, and Window Padding. These functions already exist in YEP_CoreEngine, so if you are using that, it is unnecessary. If you prefer this lightweight version of just these settings, then this is for you.

 

Features
- Adjust the system setting for Line Height. Decreases the spacing between lines. You should adjust this to tighten up the look of your windows if you choose a font smaller than the default.
- Adjust the system setting for Window Padding. This is the distance from your text to the edge of the window. Adjust this if you want more or less space between window borders and text inside.

 

Screenshots

Here's a screenshot of how the spacing is effected when you use smaller fonts.

 



 

and here's what it can look like after using the script...

Author's Notes
This script may be used freely for both personal and commercial purposes. Thanks and have fun!!

​

Please put this into a pre-compiled .js file. It's not meant to be slapped into a text editor.

Sure it is! Notepad++, Komodo Edit, hell even regular old Notepad will have no trouble with it. Save as .js in your Plugins folder and away you go. You will need tools like these to work on scripts anyways. IMHO a developer should want to inspect every line of every script in your game, as well as know how to edit it and manage where it's located.​

If all you use is notepad, just save as, then change the format to Unicode and change the extension to .js and you are all set.

However, if folks are more comfortable with it, I have added a Pastebin link.

Oh dear... I replied to the wrong thread ^^''
