How do I add a background color?

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

If I HAVE to do a draw.fillbox or whatever, can you guys give me the full command with X Y coordinates to fill the entire run window?

Two ways:

Draw.FillBox(0,0,maxx,maxy,green)

setcolourback(green)
cls

The second will make it so everytime you run cls, it automatically sets the backround to that colour.

To add a background colour to text, use Text.ColourBack(). Otherwise, you should be able to draw a filled box from (0,0) to (maxx,maxy).

what does cls mean? and how would i put setcolourback at the beginning of the whole code? before i declare vars and everything?

and what is the code to put text as white?

It means that once the program reaches that line, the whole run window will be cleared of text, images, etc.


and how would i put setcolourback at the beginning of the whole code? before i declare vars and everything?


You don't have to put it before declaring the variables, but only before the main body of your actual code.

Ex.: 

var blah : int

setcolourback (green)

if blah = 0 then
    ha
end if

setcolourback is only for text? or for the whole window?
it's not working anyway.

For the background, i just used 

Draw.FillBox(0,0,maxx,maxy,green) 


but how do I change the text colour?

I know these are newb questions, but this is the first time I've dabbled in coloring

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

Text.Colour(brightgreen) %Text
Text.ColourBack(black) %BG

alternatively you can also use:
colour()
colourback()

or even drop the u and go with the american spelling.

So, for the text.colour will that do ALL the text?
