an RPG dialog system, what widgets?

[rogerdv]

Currently Im implementing the dialog system for my RPG. It is a very traditional system: a text for the NPC phrase and a few possible replies (1-3 lines of text). The NPC line is simply a text, but I dont know whats the best widget to use for the player choices. They must be clicked, so, I dont know if an StaticText works, thought about buttons, but that would look really ugly.
Any other option?

Totally transparent buttons will surely work.

You mean an StaticText on top of a transparent button? Sounds good.

Using a static text on a button might be a little bit of overkill - you can get the same effect by using a customised button skin that does no rendering other than the text label.

Alternatively to a Button, you might also be able to get something working via a listbox of some kind - probably without the frame, so it does not look like a list box - the list entries would form your dialogue choices. Just another option to consider

With that listbox option, you could even make keyboard navigation easily.
