This page tells you how to customize the text-box. There are two different methods, and which one you use will depend on what kind of image you're using.

Also, you know anything about customizating character objets, or where I can find information about it... :roll:

There are two main websites for Renpy documentation.

http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/Wiki_Home_Page
The information on this site is a little out of date, but there are some things which are only documented here, and I find it a bit more beginner-friendly.

http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/
This is where the most modern documentation is. The information is also a bit more in-depth, but might be a bit harder to follow at times.

Here's two links with information specific to defining characters. They also tell you how to set certain characteristics such as the color of their names.
http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/ref ... Characters
http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/dialogue. ... er-objects

I would reccomend the second site more, but the first site tends to be laid out more like a tutorial if that's what you need.
