I'm playing with the monkey demo. Is it posible to change the background color for text?

You can in a number of ways: * Alter the mojo_font.png in a graphics program (eg change the black to alpha or a different colour) * Use a different font using the SetFont command: http://www.monkeycoder.co.nz/Community/posts.php?topic=201#1111 * Use the angelfont module The default font should only really be used as a debugging tools.

There is also FontMachine which is awesome for bitmap fonts. Blitzmax and Monkey versions available.
