Is there a way to have a "flush" alignment for text?

Elmiwisa: Is there a way to make the background transparent? Also, is there a way to have any transition on the text? It seems very abrupt as it is.

Eh, for background, you should supply one yourself. The #ffffff background I put there is for placeholder only, since I don't have one around. You should get a background that look more realistic so that it looks more like paper, since this is supposed to be text from a book right? If you want the background to be completely transparent, use #00000000
You can make transition on the whole screen. You could put transformation on the text that can serve the role of transitioning.
To use transition on the whole screen, use the with statement (not with clause) as usual, right after show screen.
To use transformation, use the at statement in the screen code as usual.

Gotcha, thanks!

Is this what you are looking for?

768 x 1366

This was done with NVL mode using a fully transparent png (none.png) that is the same size of the screen: 1366x768.
