Resize items of OptionButton

Schorsch

Hey, i have an OptionsButton in my GUI. I can resize the Button itself, but not its children (the items it has). And also, i only found how to add children in code. Is there a way to add children in the editors scene-view? I tried to add children to the button but that didn't worked out. I tried Labels and Buttons as children. But more important is the first question.

Select the OptionButton node then click the Items menu at the top of the 2D editor.

Thank's :) That helps with the second part. And you can i change the size of the items?

What do you mean exactly with changing the icon size? Do you mean the texture size of a texture item? If so, I think the size is depending of the texture itself and not changeable within Godot. At least this is the case with TextureButton and TextureRect.

So i use this to add my items:

$SomeSelector.add_item("Some item name")

and i get a text item. I think it is just a label or something. I need to change the fontsize of this.

edit: Maybe i get the concept of this button wrong. But there is only one method to add an item and this is a textitem. You can style the button itself but not it's items. That looks like an incomplete widget for me. I think i will implement the widget by myself. But it would be better to integrate this into godot.

No, there are many more options for adding items. Just check the documentation of PopupMenu Node. Regarding your question how to change the font size. This is something you have to customize via an own theme. Check out the tutorial from GDquest to get the idea of.

Tank you :)

Ok, i just checked your video. This didn't help in my case. I use an OptionButton. That widget is done by Godot. I cannot access the internal PopupMenu via editor, only via code. Or i don't know how to do it. So yes, i can add different children types to this widget, but i am not able to style them. How can i set a theme for a Label i add to the OptionButton.

    $OptionButton.add_Item("item no 1")
    $OptionButton.get_popup().add_item("item no 2")
    # change theme or font of thise elements here

So i am able to add children to the OptionButton, but i cannot change the style of those children.

Maybe you set the wrong theme? In my case I have a MenuButton that brings up the PopupMenu.

Step 1: Set a custom theme to the MenuButton

Step 2: Add Class Item PopupMenu to that theme

Step 3: Assign the custom font to PopupMenu fonts

Works fine for me with Godot 3.1
