Change font color in title screen

[alexia]

I know the following code can be placed in a script to change text color.
self.contents.font.color = Color.new(-255,-255,-255,-255)
I want to change the font color only in the title screen but not in any of the other command windows. Does anyone know where I can place this code? Or do I need to do something else? Btw, all -255 equals black, right?

What you need to do is:- Create a new script below Window_Command and call this Window_Command2.

The paste this code into it:-

#==============================================================================
# ** Window_Command2
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This window deals with general command choices.
#==============================================================================

class Window_Command2 < Window_Selectable
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Object Initialization
  #     width    : window width
  #     commands2 : command text string array
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def initialize(width, commands2)
    # Compute window height from command quantity
    super(0, 0, width, commands.size * 32 + 32)
    @item_max = commands2.size
    @commands2 = commands2
    # This is the part where you can change the colours.
    self.contents.font.color = Color.new(-255,-255,-255,-255)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, @item_max * 32)
    refresh
    self.index = 0
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Refresh
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    for i in 0...@item_max
      draw_item(i, normal_color)
    end
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Draw Item
  #     index : item number
  #     color : text color
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def draw_item(index, color)
    self.contents.font.color = color
    rect = Rect.new(4, 32 * index, self.contents.width - 8, 32)
    self.contents.fill_rect(rect, Color.new(0, 0, 0, 0))
    self.contents.draw_text(rect, @commands2[index])
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Disable Item
  #     index : item number
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def disable_item(index)
    draw_item(index, disabled_color)
  end
end

Then go to Scene_Title and go to line 43:-

    @command_window = Window_Command.new(192, [s1, s2, s3])

And change this too.

    @command_window = Window_Command2.new(192, [s1, s2, s3])

I tried it but received an error. It said that a name error ocurred at line 15 of windowcommand2 and that there was an undefined local variable or method. Do you think it's because there's a number in the new window name?

**EDIT**
I figured out that line 15 needed a 2 by window. But I'm still getting a no method error at line 19 which is the font color line. Ironically, this is the same error that I had originally received before adding your script.

RGB can't have negative numbers, it's a scale from 0-255. Black is Color.new(0, 0, 0, 255)

I changed the font color to the above but I'm still getting a no method error. It says "undefined method 'font' for nil:NilClass

On the line with "super", change "commands" to "commands2".

 

[alexia]

Did that. Still got the same error on line 19 where it changes the font color.

Put the font colour declaration BELOW the Bitmap declaration.

Thank you, that worked. The only thing is I had to change the color on the line under draw item because that line overrode the first one. But it finally works! Thanks to everyone who helped me out.
