How to create a clear text box.

Tools required: Unren + paint.net.

Download and Install these from:
https://f95zone.to/threads/unren-ba...ecompiler-console-developer-menu-enabler.3083

1 Goto the game folder of the game you want to modify and if there is a GUI folder, open that folder and copy and paste the textbox.png to your desktop.
1a (If there is no GUI folder in the game folder). Place Unren into the main folder with the games .exe file.
1b Double-click Unren.
1c Press 1 then enter, this will unpack any .rpa files.
1d Go into the games game folder.
1e Open the GUI folder and copy and paste the textbox.png to your desktop.

2 Open paint.net.
3 Drag textbox.png from your desktop into paint.net
3a Or goto the file menu and click open.
3b Navigate to your desktop and click on textbox.png, then click open.
4 From the Menu bar of paint.net click Layers.
5 Select New Layer. It automatically puts a transparent layer, the same size, on top of the textbox.png.
6 At the bottom right of the paint.net window is the layers box.
7 Click the bottom layer called background, that is the original file.
8 Go back to the Layers menu and click Delete Selected Layer. This will leave just the transparent Layer.
9 Goto file and click save, NOT save as.

10 Drag and drop or copy and paste the transparent textbox to the games game/gui folder, overwrite if necessary.

Or just download these & keep them handy...

Don't forget to check the "phone" folder in the gui folder. Best to do a search in the gui folder for "textbox" and replace them all as I have found up to 5 of them before I managed to finally achieve transparency...
