Italic text and gray textures

[DonQuiche]

Hello everyone.

As suggested by the title, I would like to know whether it is possible to:
* Gray out a texture (convert it to grayscale on the fly).
* Write a text in italic.

Any help would be appreciated.

* Gray out a texture (convert it to grayscale on the fly).

You can't change the contents of the image on the fly. What you can do is basically what the Policies window does: have two versions of each icon (a grey version and a gold version) and then just switch which one displays at a given time.

Or, if you just want a similar effect without being a true grayscale, add a second overlay on the same location, neutral color, with its transparency set to 50%. Then just change its Hidden value on the fly. This is what the Policies window uses to have a dark gray and light gray version of each policy, or what the Victory Progress window uses to put the blue and white overlays on the spaceship parts.

Thank you for pointing me to the social policy screen, I initially thought they used pre-grayed images but discovered the icons are actually grayed out on the fly when the image widget is disabled.

Thank you very much.
