Getting rid of the accept box in a rating component

Builder
1

I am using a rating component in my trial routine.

I would like for the accept box that appears by default under the response option, to not appear at all, or at least to not glow once a key is pressed, as seems to be its default behaviour.

I found no variable that controls the glowing behaviour. As for making it disappear altogether, the acceptSize variable, defined as “the width of the accept box relative to the default (e.g., 2 is twice as wide).”, does not work as expected (as a multiplicative factor), in that if I set it to zero, the accept box is still there, albeit small.

OS (e.g. Win10): Win10
PsychoPy version (e.g. 1.84.x): 3.2.4

I strongly recommend you use Slider instead of Rating.
It’s more flexible and lass confusing (and doesn’t add its own OK button at all). Have a look at the RatingsNew demo in Builder

In future, I expect we will eventually drop Rating altogether

Thanks Jon, I had a look at that demo. In my case, the mouse ccanot be used so I need button responses, which I did not see an option for in the Slider component. Also, from my perspective getting rid of the accept box in the Rating component is really all that is needed to make it work quite well in general. In my view it would be a shame if this were dropped, as it seems to do some things that the Slider cannot (yet) do.
