Even if it did, why would you annoy everyone with a marquee on your first ever post? WHY?

hey guys it's a technical

As about the original question you have to create a customized text window.
"To set the text colour in the window, simply set the Foreground Colour of the GUI and that will be used to print the message text in." - AGS manual

EDIT: also SetLabelColor() function may comw in handy.

thanx 4 the help but 1 problem:

Iv got it so global messages come up in a little red box (a red coloured blank GUI) but for some reason it is surrounded by the walk button.
Is this just happening to me? How can i stop it? Why does it do this?

thanx

When you have converted a GUI to the text window the AGS editor places eight buttons along the GUI's edges. They are to assign the graphic images which are surrounding the text window's border while disaplaying a message. Somehow you got these buttons to have the walk button sprite. Just open GUI editor and replace all the button's images with those you need.
