I mean something like this, there is a frame with 3 circles that could be used for portraits, and a few panels below them for additional information. Of course it's not entirely suitable for us, zooming is kinda off.

Here, this one looks very good. See, there are 3 squares with hp and mp bars, seems suitable for a team frame. But we can't use it directly, it's a cut off low quality example.

As a side note, does it take additional efforts to use more than one mouse button in renpy?

depends on where. Buttons = NP, some global action = NP. For drags, might be an issue... maybe not.

[DarkTl]

No, I don't mean d&d. We already have rmb for returning to previous screen, so the only thing that left is middle button, which is not suitable for d&d.

Perhaps access to hero profile or making a quicksave could be tied to it though.

Those resources look ok but not enough for an interface (separate elements are needed).

Not just to return, I am using it in some buttons for dropdown screens.

[DarkTl]

I can cut them, but resolution is too low... I only managed to find this one in good resolution, however it uses 6 places for portraits.

Here is a quick attempt to make it work for 3 chars via mirroring parts of the picture. Do you think it will be suitable enough?

[Xela]

Bars are a problem and yeah, 6 spots.

[DarkTl]

Here is separate portrait, here is frame for 3 chars. If you can use them, I'll clean them a bit more.

I am not sure, feels like a lot of place just for three portraits and a bit of info but I'll try to put it into the game. Also, circles... I am not sure if all portraits will be a good fit for it.

I actually think about using them at the team personal screen, not in the general gui where we have all teams and characters. It's log button in the current gui, you have 3 portraits down there without any frames.

It might work

This a two part design either way, it prolly must be a background/foreground kind of thing because any portraits that were not drawn specifically for this flame design, will look bad on top of it. So it prolly goes like: Papyrus-like bg and wooden foreground. I also don't like that all that extra space is wasted and that it's not carrying any info but it's prolly ok if it is just for show and not data.

[DarkTl]

See those squares with green and blue bars below them? They are small enough to be used everywhere with portraits, and bars show very useful info, ie hp and mp. Might be great for screen where you build teams.

[DarkTl]

Frame for portraits, background for portraits. It doesn't have to be big if you want to keep space for something else, although I'm not sure what else we can show at the bottom of the log screen.
