 ???I can't seem to make the narration text and dialog text have a nicely designed graphic GUI background ???
Could it be a problem with the latest version of AGS?
Please help, I need your Technical Wisdom.

Thanks Again for your Great Help!

Ok, for example, I want all the text in my game that is displayed to have a certain graphic background. I designed a neat crumpled paper effect backgroud. I uploaded into the Sprite selection. Then I made a new GUI (GUI #3) and I typed  in number of the Sprite of the crumpled paper from the Sprite selection. Also, from the General Menu, I selected: Text uses Gui 3. Now, when I start my game, the text does not have any background. Am I missing something?  ???

Did you happen to check the "Always display text as speech" option? Uncheck it and see if it makes a difference.

(This is for normal text, for dialogs, speeches, they normally don't use a GUI, if you want to have a GUI for them also, you have to toy around with those dialog options in the editor.)

How big is the background sprite?  I believe that  it must larger than the size of the text box as it is not tiled as is done in html browsers.

The pic is not big enough, but no problem! I can fix that!

Thanks guys! Your advice worked! I'm able to have Text Guis now! Yay!

I appreciate your help!
