Enhanced Message Windows for RPG Maker MZ
https://myrium-studios.itch.io/myrium-textbox
Myrium TextBox is a lightweight message system for RPG Maker MZ that focuses on simplicity, flexibility, and complete control.
Unlike larger message plugins that include dozens of features and configuration options, Myrium TextBox focuses on the essentials:
- Integrated speaker names
- Preset-based visual styles
- Custom colors and opacity
- HTML-style text alignment
- Full compatibility with standard RPG Maker text codes
The goal is simple: create attractive and customizable message windows without unnecessary complexity.

The speaker name is drawn directly inside the message window.
- No separate name window required

Preset System

Each preset can define:
Name Box

Tags are case-insensitive.

Every option should have a practical purpose.
