For editing the Display messages where do I go in the program to change for example the color of the text background?
Go to the GUI node (right hand side of editor), click (+) to open out. In the GUI tree select your gui that is used as Display. In it's properties will be select background color / image.
I can't seem to find that one. All I find are the ones the default game comes with.
Hello metalmario,
I really have no business answering this because I'm not very savvy with scripting in AGS, but if I remember correctly, the display GUI is hard coded into AGS and does not appear in the GUI tree. But I'm pretty sure you can make your own display GUI and call that in the script instead. If you make your own, you can change the BG image, borders, font and text color.
I'm pretty sure that's what slasher meant when he responded to you.
