I have a GUI panel which has a pixmap to give it a textured effect. Is there any way of getting text onto it without it looking like it is in a box? I thought I could use a label with no frame, but this uses the color of the window as it's background - so it would appear how I want it as text only (no box) if there wasn't a pixmap on the panel. |

The functionality you are looking for will work on both Linux and Mac platforms, but not win32 unfortunately. This is a known feature of win32 controls in max :-) |

Thanks for the info Brucey (maybe i'll upgrade to a mac - the new power book pro's look pretty neat). I think I can produce this effect using canvases instead of panels and then just using the DrawText instead of labels. |
