How Can I Make A Transparent Background

-----------------------------------

I have an imported picture as my background in which I am asking the user to enter some information, and I'm using colourback(grey), but I want the user to be able to type over the picture transparently so I see the text ontop of my picture without any grey or white background.

look into the Pic. Module to find how you can make your picture the background, also if your not having any luck with that check the Turing Walkthrough

Try adding the picture after the colourback command.

You'll be needing the Font, not Pic module. Look into Font.New and Font.Draw

I second that.  This has to do with how you're writing.
As stated, you need to use fonts instead of the put method.
