Display setting for areas that are not transparent according to the transparency value, even though they are the transparency color of the image (the color of the pixel in the top left corner of the image).
If 0, the original color of the image (transparency color) is displayed with the specified transparency.
If 1, the image is filled with black instead of the color of the image, and then displayed with the specified transparency.
For example, if you specify 0 and prepare a pure white pna image, it will be displayed as it is without a transparency color.
This setting can only be set globally for the entire balloon, and cannot be overridden.
Unspecified (behavior is equivalent to 1 for images with pna as transparency, and 0 for images with the alpha channel of the image itself as transparency)
If set to 1, the alpha channel of the balloon surface itself is used for the transparency value, not the pna.
Even if it is set to 1, pna is used for surfaces that do not have an alpha channel.
Note that input box balloons cannot be made translucent unles use_input_alpha is also set to 1.
This setting can only be set globally for the entire balloon, and cannot be overridden.
0
If set to 1, the balloon of the input box is also made translucent. However, the frame of the input area cannot be made translucent.
This setting can only be set globally for the entire balloon, and cannot be overridden.

In SSP only, it can also be written in descript.txt.
0
Y axis adjustment of the balloon from its basic position.
Specify a number in pixels. Note that + moves towards the bottom, and - moves towards the top.

bottom - Positioned so the top edge of the balloon meets the bottom edge of the shell image.
Number specification - Positioned so the top edge of the balloon and the top edge of the shell image are aligned.
In SSP only, it can also be written in descript.txt.
