hi,

the aim i have is to have a half transparent rounded rectangle acting as a text area over the canvas.
Any ideas how i can achieve it? or something likely?

Check the source code out for this game: http://mikeprosser.tripod.com - in the latest version of this game he attaches a map to the camera that is opaque, he also adds text. You should be able to adapt this to suit your needs. Specifically you want to look at HeadUpDisplay.java

:stuck_out_tongue: sorry, was on holiday for one week… i hoped to get some more ideas over here meanwhile.
…making an opaque text is quite far away from a half-transparent textarea.
