Code: [Select]
extraStrings:
  - type: en-US
    strings:
      STR_THINKING: ""

interfaces:
  - type: battlescape
    elements:
      - id: thinkingProgressBar
        color: 0
        color2: 0
        border: 0 # 0 is ignored, in that case color+4 is used

Ok, so I just did that : (standard/xcom1/interfaces.rul) -> color, color 2, and border are all 0 , yet the border box is still showing as a grey rectangle

As for the above bar name, when I set the (common/language/OXCE/en-US.yml) -> STR_Thinking to "" it shows the variable name above the bar as STR_Thinking, however, if i set it to " " then it becomes a hidden title.

Is there another file I need to change a setting in?

Also if I update OpenXcom in the future would I have to set the values in the files again?

Based on your info about if border:0 , then border: color + 4, I was able to pinpoint what I believe is the issue for the bar remaining visible on 0, OpenXcom/src/interface/bar.cpp the line that adds the color value to the bar removes it's transparency, if I were to set the color: -4 then the progress bar appears, but the border is removed.

It's a feature, not an issue.

Also, it is ProgresBar.cpp, not Bar.cpp.

I didn't mean an issue with the code, I meant trying to resolve my issue on my end, and what I came across as to what I thought I should be tinkering with, but thank you for the redirection.

You guys have done an amazing job bringing this game to modern consoles, and androids.
