Yep, the text you can display with 'displaymessage' is very standardized (you can only select a few places where the text appear and you can't change the size). Otherwise the displayText method is used to display text for a single frame (so you would have to call it at every frame).

Two options:
- we can modify the code of ''displaymessage'' slightly so that you can change the size
- you can create your own datatype that would only render a text in 2D (it's fairly easy) and add such an entity to the window 'own' DB

It all depends on your workflow and your exact needs.
