Cursor rectangle over actor

[lurk]

Hi all, quick question here, is there any way to put the rectangle cursor from the windowskin (cursor_rect) to appear in a viewport over the actor in the menu? I modified the window_base script to use a picture instead of the character sprite

def draw_actor_graphic(actor, x, y)
    bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture(actor.character_name)

but now, the rectangle cursor appears on a layer below, almost hidden by the character's portrait. Is there a way to change the cursor's z? Thanks!

I don't understand why the cursor should appear over the character instead of under it.

I'm using a rectangle picture instead of the map character, so it would be better if I could kind of 'highlight' it with the rectangle cursor.

It's better, then, to use a different approach.  Use this modified version
of Window_MenuStatus.  Here, you must make each character picture a size of
480x120 and put them in Graphics/Pictures, as you're doing right now.

class Window_MenuStatus < Window_Selectable
  def initialize
    @characters=[Sprite.new,Sprite.new,Sprite.new,Sprite.new]
    super(0, 0, 480, 480)
    self.opacity=0
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    refresh
    self.active = false
    self.index = -1
  end
  def dispose
    for c in @characters
      c.dispose if c
    end
    super
  end
  def x=(value)
    for c in @characters
      c.x=value
    end
    super
  end
  def y=(value)
    for i in 0...@characters.length
      @characters[i].y=value+i*120
    end
    super
  end
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    @item_max = $game_party.actors.size
    for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
      x = 64
      y = i * 116
      actor = $game_party.actors[i]
      @characters[i].bitmap=RPG::Cache.picture(actor.character_name)
      @characters[i].x=self.x
      @characters[i].y=i*120+self.y
      draw_actor_name(actor, x, y)
      draw_actor_class(actor, x + 144, y)
      draw_actor_level(actor, x, y + 32)
      draw_actor_state(actor, x + 90, y + 32)
      draw_actor_exp(actor, x, y + 64)
      draw_actor_hp(actor, x + 236, y + 32)
      draw_actor_sp(actor, x + 236, y + 64)
    end
  end
  def update_cursor_rect
    if @index < 0
      self.cursor_rect.empty
    else
      self.cursor_rect.set(0, @index * 116, self.width - 32, 96)
    end
  end
end
