I am using a picture for the background of my program. Is there a way to make it so that when the user is typing something it dosent leave that huge white background behind the text? Its really annoying, and is there a way to change the font of the text that is defaulted for input? Thanks

Look up Font.Draw, and getch if you don't already know it.

fonts tutorial
getch tutorial

Though neither is especially great. We need to improve tutorials!

from what I know (which isin't much) the only way I can change the input text is by using the colour and colourback commands. From what I've seen there's no way to apply the Font.Draw command to the input text.

You mean "get"?

I created a Font.Get() function, using getch(), to allow input of text, similar to Font.Draw(), and echo it to the screen. I suggest looking up getch(), it will help you create something similar. I would post my function, but it's not on this computer and you should get some practice creating your own.
