Hello,

I wanted to know where you can change the text size of the game menus inside the juice.

If I have not explained myself well, I attach an image indicating it.

2021-10-18 17_08_23-THAMAR.png I have been looking at gui.rpy and have not found anything.

Thanks for your help.

The menu: uses a screen called choice.

It looks like this:

Python: 
# ---- screens.rpy ---

screen choice(items):
    style_prefix "choice"

    vbox:
        for i in items:
            textbutton i.caption action i.action

The style prefix is "choice"... following that down a bit, and you find these lines...

Python: 
# ---- screens.rpy ---

style choice_button is default:
    properties gui.button_properties("choice_button")

style choice_button_text is default:
    properties gui.button_text_properties("choice_button")

So the button itself is linked to the gui properties "choice_button". Following that to gui.rpy....

Python: 
# ---- gui.rpy ---

define gui.choice_button_width = 1185
define gui.choice_button_height = None
define gui.choice_button_tile = False
define gui.choice_button_borders = Borders(150, 8, 150, 8)
define gui.choice_button_text_font = gui.text_font
define gui.choice_button_text_size = gui.text_size
define gui.choice_button_text_xalign = 0.5
define gui.choice_button_text_idle_color = "#cccccc"
define gui.choice_button_text_hover_color = "#ffffff"
define gui.choice_button_text_insensitive_color = "#444444"

The important line you care about is define gui.choice_button_text_size = gui.text_size.

So...

Python: 
# ---- gui.rpy ---

## The size of normal dialogue text.
define gui.text_size = 33

So if you want to change that size, you have the choice to alter the size for all text within the game by altering gui.text_size. Or just change it for menus only by altering gui.choice_button_text_size.

Here's a tip, hover over an element you want to inspect and press Shif+i in the developer mode. That will show you elements, their styles, and where they are located in the files.

Or alternatively (for simplicity) you could just press the Shift key and the A key at the same time and that will bring you up a simplified way to make the text bigger or smaller. You can also change the font although there are only 2 choices.
