#2 From looking at it...

UTF16 textPos[2] = { offset.x, offset.y }; //Default position of text, in the center of the control

   dglSetBitmapModulation( fontColor );
   ColorI color(0,0,0,255);
   //renderJustifiedText(textPos, mBounds.extent, mButtonText);
   dglDrawTextN(mProfile->mFont, offset, textPos, 10, &color);

there are a couple things. If you want to set color it wants a reference, it actually isnt a required argument.
secondly, it wants a pointer to UTF16, or UTF8 for the position. Point2I wont work. And lastly, "ArialBold" is not a GFont. You can set these things through script when you create the object.

// fill color
   opaque = false;
   fillColor = "255 255 255";
   fillColorHL = "128 128 128";
   fillColorNA = "244 244 244";

   // border color
   border = false;
   borderColor   = "190 190 190";
   borderColorHL = "156 156 156";
   borderColorNA = "64 64 64";
   
   bevelColorHL = "255 255 255";
   bevelColorLL = "0 0 0";

   // font
   fontType = "Arial";
   fontSize = 16;

   fontColor = "32 32 32";
   fontColorHL = "32 100 100";
   fontColorNA = "0 0 0";

   tab = true;
   canKeyFocus = true;

//edit: spelling

#3 Many many thanks, you opened my eyes to the usage of mProfile, I was looking at mProfile in the code and saying to myself, Hmm, where is that defined? (I found it in the parent class GuiControl). After some research I figured out all I need to know about Profiles, very handy.. In the GUI editor I always see Profile drop down list, and never understood what it did until now. Now all my needs are filled, many thanks again.

That explains a lot of things, like for instance, why mProfile->Variable is so common in the gui cc files, and where all these mProfile->Variables are coming from..

I love learning new stuff about this engine, it's been(being) a fun journey for me (And probably a long boring trip full of newb-questions for the rest of this forum) :)
