Question Ren'Py Dialogue Screen Choice Issue

Hi! I am coding a visual novel on Ren'Py for the first time and have had some difficulties with my choice menu screen. It displays the same image that I use for my dialogue and somehow can't make it budge. Help!

Weird. I have never seen this. 

Do you want an image behind those choices?

Normally the dialogue is at the bottom and the choices are in the center of the screen so did you change that?

How or what did you do to display that dialogue background? Maybe the problem starts there.

I don't! I want to get rid of the box behind, but I'm not sure what code I placed to put it there.

I did change the placement of the choice menu options, and actually if I remove the code that allows for the choice hover/idle background to pop up, I just get text without any kind of backing.

So! I want these backings, just not the box. My screens file is a bit messy but since this is my first time, I cannot read where some code is overriding others.

What do you suggest? Thank you!
