Sizing message windows?

Hey, ive seen in many games that people have smaller message windows. I like how it looks but I have no idea how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

I found the script I think, but how do I add it to my project? theres no extra slots or anything in the script section to add it. :(

Copy and paste the "UMS" script right above the "Main" entry.

You can also make extra slots by right-clicking and selecting "insert".
 
Thanks :) I have one last question. My text isn't appearing at all, just the text windows.. I copy and pasted the UMS script from ccoa's UMS demo game (couldnt find it anywhere else) could that be why??
 
No, that's odd. I've copied and pasted the script into my games without a problem before. Did you remember to copy and paste the images in ccoa's "Windowskins" folder? If you're trying to do comic-styled window skins, you'll need the images in her folder.

It could be that you are using a font that the game doesn't agree with. So in the main right below begin add the line:

Code:
Font.default_name = 'Courier New'

Just to see if the text at least shows.
