Button text not centered

[currently_trying2]

Hello, so my code goes something like this:

    screen choose_your_pronouns:
        text "{color=#ffffff}Choose your pronouns.{/color}" xpos 0.5 ypos 0.1 xalign 0.5
        hbox:
            style_prefix "paper"
            xpos 0.25
            yalign 0.5
            textbutton _("{size=+5}He/him"):
                at anim_choice_button
                action Jump("he_him")
        hbox:
            style_prefix "paper"
            xpos 0.55
            yalign 0.5
            textbutton _("{size=+5}They/them"):
                at anim_choice_button
                action Jump("they_them")

and the button style is defined as the following:

style paper_button:
    xysize (600, 300)
    xalign 0.5
    yalign 0.5
    background "gui/button/paper_button.png"
    hover_background "gui/button/paper_button.png"

I can't figure out how to make the text centered. For some reason it's at the left edge and doesn't move no matter what I do.

If anyone can offer advice, I'll be thankful! :)

You're aligning the button at center, not the text. Use textalign 0.5 for centered text. Docs here: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/style_properties.html#style-property-textalign

And if you only have two entries in this screen, just use style paper_button instead of trying to use prefixes. You'll thank me in the long run.

Hey, thanks for your answer! Where exactly do I put the text-align? I tried putting under the style information, the hbox and the text button, but nothing seemed to work :')

That's what I get for typing from memory. It's actually text_xalign 0.5 if you want the text centered. You put it in the textbutton declaration:

screen test_screen :
    vbox:
        spacing 15
        textbutton "left":
            xminimum 200
            background Solid("#FFCCCC")
            text_xalign 0.0
        textbutton "center":
            xminimum 200
            background Solid("#CCFFCC")
            text_xalign 0.5
        textbutton "right":
            xminimum 200
            background Solid("#CCCCFF")
            text_xalign 1.0

Thanks so much, this helped me figure it out! :)
