Hi! Thank you for your comment

So I don't know your project but let's imagine you have a prologue, act 1 and act 2 and you want a different phone background for each of them.

You can have a variable "chapter" that will tell us where we are and change during the game:

$ chapter = "prologue"

And we can then edit the script in PhoneTexting.rpy to have a dynamic background instead. In line 158:

style phoneFrame_frame:
    background "phone_background.png"
    foreground "phone_foreground.png"

Replace the background by something like:

style phoneFrame_frame:
    background "phone_background_[chapter].png"
    foreground "phone_foreground.png"

This mean that Renpy will automatically look for "phone_background_prologue.png",  "phone_background_act1.png"... etc whenever you change the value of chapter!

Make sure to have the image created in your project and correctly named, and you should be good
