Thanks , i searched first but i only got 2 results, maybe i made a spelling mistake.
I was looking for one i could put over the game screen, i think this one works so you can see the picture under it, it doesnt work over the game screen.
I should be more specific, sorry

Need DX8.

Not necessarily, you could blit the chat onto the game screen, like the way the base MS has it's way of MyText. Then you could always render a gui around it

Yes but what I suggested is better in the long run. XD

Yeah but if he's asking how to make a transparent rich text box then chances are he's not gonna get it to work using dx8
