Update: Now have choice of 3 display gagdets string text or editor and can set widow and display gadget backcolor

about_purebasic(iParentWinID.i, sMsg.s , bGadgetType.b = 0, iWinColor.i =$6E7E94, iGadgetColor.i = $AEFBF7)

bGadgetType 0, 1, or 2 editor test string respectively, editor as default, and select colours from the color wheel.

ie:

PBAboutInfo::about_purebasic(Window_0, "hello world from Zebbudi.", 1, $FFFFE0, $6BB7BD)

Use a canvasgadget or textgadgets with a framegadget ....

On line 30 of Zebuddi's module, Module_PBAboutInfo.pbi, change #ES_Center to #PB_Text_Center:

Case 1
  iThisGadgetType = TextGadget(#PB_Any, 10, 145, 530, 95, "", #PB_Text_Center)

And in the calling code, ensure that the bGadgetType parameter to the about_purebasic() function is set to 1:

PBAboutInfo::about_purebasic(Window_0, "hello world from Zebbudi.", 1, $FFFFE0, $6BB7BD)

That should do it.

CanvasGadget() version with DrawVectorParagraph() should be cross platform
