I've tried everything but i cant seem to fix it, maybe u guys can help.
The background01 i've used only works when loading, when im in the Main menu its just a black background.

Background01 for loading
Background02 for Mainmenu and all chapters.

Hi,

my question isn't really about the menu itself but when the game is loading the menu you will see an image (i have got a custom image to work) but now I want to change the loading box (the black one with white letters) at the bottom right to have a different color how do i do this.

With kind regards,

MOnline

PS. your tutorials are great ;)

TO SAVE IT AS A .TTF FILE, WRITE .TFF AT THE END OF THE FILENAME WHEN YOU SAVE IT IN NOTEPAD, AND SELECT "ALL FILES" UNDER "SAVE AS TYPE" (BELOW THE NAME). LIKE THIS:
