Hi Folks,
Apologies for the basic question, but I have not been able to answer this for myself and i as yet have little experience with MyGUI.
I am displaying some basic debug information on screen about my applications status as a means to explore MyGUI a little and fiddle with some of its abilities.
I am using a TextBox with some white text set at application run time, but what I would really like to see is a semi transparent window around the text (since I will be using this type of menu/HUD in the completed game). I do not want title bars etc, just a square of size my choosing thats semi transparent. I cant seem to find the correct widget to do this.
Should I be laying two widgets over each other to create the effect?
Could someone please just point me towards the right widgets / usage styles so I can experiment with them.
Many thanks in advance.
