Help window styles?

Hello!  So, first off, apologies if this thread is going to the wrong entire product; I'm a little unsure if this is more a question regarding Help Windows or regarding Choice Manager, since it's about how the two of them interact.  (Having help windows for the choices in Choice Manager requires Help Windows anyway, so.. ^^;)

Is there, by any chance, any way to adjust the style of the help menu window?

See, I'm working on this effect where the choices use help windows to convey a little bit of extra context and the character's thought process while hovering over each choice, before selecting one.  In this example screenshot, the message at the top (the last thing that the speaker said, to which these choices are a response) was created using Text Window Pro.  The choices in the middle are a "normal" Show Choices command in the standard RPG Maker scripting vocabulary.  That message at the bottom is a help window for the choices as created by Choice Manager (thanks to also having Help Windows installed so this works.)


Is there a way to get the help window to match the visual style of the other messages in this scene?

(Oh, and unrelatedly, to me it looks like the vertical alignment in the help window is a bit off... that text seems closer to the bottom of the window than the top.  This wouldn't be visible or noticeable if we could just display the help window with a transparent style akin to the others, of course, but if we can't... may as well ask about that while we're here, too, you know?  Any setting anywhere to force it to be more centered vertically, or even just play with the Y position of the text inside the window directly?)

Thank you so much for any input you may have!

Hi there!

Hi there!

This was an issue on the Choice Manager side, and I just fixed it! Now the Choice Help Window will have the same Windowskin and background type of the choice manager.

Please download the new version 2.1.5 of the Choice Manager. Also, since some previous versions, you don't need the Help Window plugin for the Choice Help window anymore.

Thanks for waiting! Let me know if it fixed!
