Why am I getting a blue cup around my text windows?

[aussie]

My text windows appear surrounded by blue cups (as if a border).

Why?

How do I get rid of them and just have a line (or nothing at all)?

Because you've selected your test windows to use a GUI which isn't set up completely... read the manual section about usining a GUI for text windows...

You've probably either deleted the text window borders, which are the eight buttuns on a text window GUI when you create one, or you have set their standard sprite to 0. If you want to have just a line, import a 1x1 sprite of the color you want, and set it as the graphic for every button on the text GUI.

Set speech to Lucas Arts? Or replace the images of all the text-window GUI elements with a small transparent image. Or if you're using the default GUI, create a new one, assign text-window to that GUI number, and do steps mentioned before.
