Automation Protocol Easytext Commands

The transparency of the colour can be set with ‘trans’ where 0xFF is solid
colour and 0x00 is transparent.
The horizontal border and vertical border parameters describe the horizontal
and vertical border placed around the colour block. Border values of 0 will
produce a rectangle which fits behind the rendered text exactly. Values of 10
(0x0A) would produce a 10 pixel border outside the text rectangle.
This command will take effect only when the text box is re-rendered.
Set Text Background to Gradient Z7
This command allows a gradient background behind a box to be

int BorderWidth, int Dir,
int hborder, int vborder)
{

colour.
The border colour is drawn around the gradient-filled text box.
