Question

hey yall, sort of a noobie question, but im trying to make these sub menus transparent using .get_popup().transparent_bg = true , but it just doesn’t work, every other part of the window can get transparent, what am i missing? thank you

In theory, it should work like this:

var menu : PopupMenu = $MenuButton.get_popup()

# to remove the background of the drop down menu
menu.add_theme_stylebox_override("panel", StyleBoxEmpty.new())
# to remove the background of the currently hovered item
menu.add_theme_stylebox_override("hover", StyleBoxEmpty.new())

However, the first line doesn’t seem to work. Not sure if that’s a bug. You can assign it a StyleBoxFlat and change it’s bg_color – but transparency still won’t work.

Hey, just figured out the problem, looks like disabling “embed sub menus” breaks transparency on drop down menus specifically, not sure if it’s a godot bug but enabling the option instantly fixes it! thanks for the reply
