Re: [Tutorial] Customizing the NVL Textbox

I know. I'm late ... but what about WIDTH .... I'd like to have my NVL box cover only about 50% of the screen Hey IndieAuthor, a late reply to your question. In a different program I make a custom nvl background box (e.g. a coloured rectangle as a png file). When I make it I set its dimensions to t...

Several lines of text should easily fit in an nvl window.
