You cannot change the color of a check box in Turing at the moment. You'll just have to change the background color. Or you can use

code:

colorback(black) cls instead of... GUI.SetBackgroundColor (black)

This will give you a white box. (Mine crashed when I included the GUI.ProcessEvent!?!?!?! Ideas?!?!)

im not getting you. if u cls, it clears the whole screen. I have a whole display active that I dont want cls'ed. I just wanna be able to create a visible chekbox on a black background.

thing is, you can't have a visable checkbox on a black background, if what guruguru says is true. unless of course you use some crazy whatdotcolouring to search for a black pixel before you initialize the background colour, and when it finds a black pixel it changes it to brightgreen or whatever. but that's besides the point.
regarding cls, you do the

code:

colourback (#) cls

before you draw any of those pictures that you say you want to keep on the screen, so it draws the pictures above the background.

is that wat he meant? lol, that was kinda obvious. is there no other way i can have any selection clicking thing on a black b/g?

[guruguru]

Nope.

Well, I guess you can have a selection thingy on a black bg. Use buttons . You can change the color of those 8)
