Last time found some lua code like this to draw custom text on screen for DX game.

Code:

function setMessage(x, y, message, textColor, backgroundColor)
if h == nil then
h = createD3DHook()
end

if p then
p.destroy()
end
p = createPicture()
c = p.PNG.Canvas
c.Brush.Color = backgroundColor
c.Font.Color = textColor
p.PNG.Width = math.max(1, c.getTextWidth(message))
p.PNG.Height = math.max(1, c.getTextHeight(message))
c.textOut(0, 0, message)

if not pt then
pt = h.createTexture(p)
else
pt.loadTextureByPicture(p)
end

if not ps then
ps = h.createSprite(pt)
else
ps.Width = pt.Width
ps.Height = pt.Height
end

ps.x = x
ps.y = y

ps.Visible = message~=""
end
--BGR
setMessage(100, 100, "My test message", 0x0000FF, 0x000000)

This works well.just one problem.
The text background is black and it will cover the screen too much.
So can I just get text without black background color?

I think maybe it's because the png format is 24 bit instead of 32?
