Add compact, short information about your PR for easier understanding:

Note

I used an LLM Chatbot/Assistant during development, but I take full responsibility for the submitted changes.

This is a follow-up PR of #16749.

• Goal of the PR
  Display status messages in the main menu.
• How does the PR work?
  Implements a new GUI component GUIStatusText for displaying temporary status messages.
• Does it resolve any reported issue?
  Closes [Formspec] Status messages in the main menu (e.g. for screenshots) #16759
• Does this relate to a goal in the roadmap?
  Not directly, as far as I can tell.
• If not a bug fix, why is this PR needed? What usecases does it solve?
  It hints to the user that a screenshot has been made.

To do

This PR is ready for review.

• Styling of the status message?

How to test

open luanti → press F12 / screenshot keybind → observe that a status message appears and fades out again

Make sure that:

• fading works properly
• status text in-game still looks the same

Styling of the status message?

I think the black background is unnecessary.

I think the black background is unnecessary.

I think it looks fine. Without it, the text would be unreadable on the eye cancer shade of blue used for the menu background.

[siliconsniffer]

I think the black background is unnecessary.

I disagree. On a smaller screen, the text will overlap with the gamebar and will be hardly readable.

For comparison, here it is with the background.

It does work on Android, but while testing I noticed two things:

• the long path renders the status message practically worthless
• in contrast to the opaque background shown above, it is transparent

Wait, why do you need to notice players on Android? Doesn't the OS already play an animation on its own when taking a screenshot?

This is about the F12 screenshot function in Luanti. This is not even accessible on Android unless you have a keyboard connected.

A slightly simpler design:

[siliconsniffer]

This is not even accessible on Android unless you have a keyboard connected.

Right, any Android device either doesn't have a keyboard or a big enough screen to fit the entire text onto the screen.
That begs the question if there is anyone playing Luanti on a BlackBerry (other niche or now-niche devices count too).

Githubstatus reports a major outage for actions. Nice.

[siliconsniffer]

@sfan5 friendly reminder.

[siliconsniffer]

If I counted correctly, there are three different places where the screenshot message is formatted.
Additionally, there is a HUD status message with the screenshot name (but not path) now, which is redundant.

[sfan5]

ok otherwise

[siliconsniffer]

I just noticed that the in-game status text is now positioned slightly higher; I will fix that.
