Well, I still haven't cracked making the check box start out checked - I was able to "remove" the check box and dragging box entirely by moving them well off-screen. However, while doing that seems to prevent you from drag-moving the box, you can still manually drag-resize it, so removing it isn't quite the same as having it be checked. Gonna have to think about this one some more :hmm:

Prodded by your post, however, I did figure out how to resize the message text area - just change the two numbers noted below (in the menu_1024_768.ini file):

[G3F I233]
Zone= 262 742 338 68 0 1 0x3F2A0000 0 0 0x3F320000 0 0 6 -22

Add whatever numbers you want to the "338" to make the message area wider, and to the "68" to make it taller - you'll need to experiment a little to get the size you want. I tried it with adding 100 to each, and it gave a pretty good increase without taking over the whole screen. Don't worry that the scroll bar on the right seems to disappear - it comes back as soon as you have enough text messages to need it again.

While I was at it, I also went ahead and did something I've been meaning to do since I figured out how to make it start transparent - which was to remove the opacity slider along the top (which doesn't work any more once you make it transparent the way I did anyway) - just make the following change:

[G3F I234]
Zone= 328 767 120 30 0 1 0x3F2A0005 1 -0.5 0x3F360000 0 0.5 10 -2000

Thanks for bringing me back to this - been meaning to get that opacity thing off there for a while now and just needed a little prodding
