Title: Change color of speech background using Sierra with Background
Post by: nneader on Mon 17/06/2013 18:28:50

Ok, I know this is basic, however, I have searched for the answer in the forums AND manual.

I want to change the background color (not an image, just color) on the speech box. Where do I change this exactly? Right now it is white, which I am assuming is default.

Also, is this a global change?

Thanks!

It sounds like you're referring to the Display() command, right?
It uses a so-called TextWindowGUI. You can create your own: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/manual/ags14.htm#TextWin
If you just want to change the color, import a black 1x1 pixel image into the Sprite manager and set every corner/edge image to that. Then change the background color to the desired number (using the Color pane).

After you're done, remember its number and set it as default text GUI in the General settings pane.
