loop label

[PaulG.]

This is trivial, but it's related to style. Also, it's Friday afternoon and we're all just goofing off right now, right?

Anyway: I have been labeling my loops for documentation purposes. It looks OK but years ago a developer I worked with had a cool way of making the label and background color of the loop look seamless. I can't seem to duplicate that look. Anyone know what I'm talking about and know how to do that? My apologies for not having an example.

Thank you in advance.

Pull up the tools pallet (View -> tools pallet) and use the paitbrush tool.  Click the colopick boxes and select the "T" in the upper righ.  Then click the box surrounding you comment.  This will make the background transparent.

That was one of the first things I tried. Didn't work.

can you post a graphic or explain in a bit more detail what you would like it to look like?

Had a hard time getting the label inside the loop until I realized you can only do that with the arrow keys and not the mouse.
