Introduction

This custom message system adds numerous features on top of the default message system,  the most notable  being the ability  to have  multiple message windows open at once.  The included features are mostly themed around speech bubble-like messages, but many are useful even for default-style messages.

Plenty, and within the title/header page. There are so many options, you gotta be NUTS to delete it.



FAQ

Includes the FONTZ script that grants Outline, Shadow, Underline and Strikethru styles.

MOST of the system between both demos are the same, only using different "System Adaptation Scripts" depending on standard and SDK editions.
