How to get rid of the portrait box in cinematics?

So, I'm trying to create a neat intro cinematic with sketch image slides, but I have a problem with the cinematic mode here; so I'm asking the cinematic pros for help, as this is relatively new for me. :D

Image attached.

Basicly, I want to get rid of this box on the bottom left. I know that I can display texts via DisplayTimedTextToPlayer, but then they won't appear inside the black area below the game window, hence why I'm using transmissions.

I looked in interface options and couldn't find anything like a cinematic portrait box there.
Any way to remove it? Or to display text outside of the game rectangle without the ugly portrait window?

SimError. I'm not sure how low you can make it go, but that is about it. ;(

SimError uses a combination of line breaks and the normal DisplayText native, which by default takes on-screen coordinates as arguments.

But I don't know if this will actually draw on top of the black rectangle... looks like I have to try that out.

I'm okay with menu backgrounds disappearing (as it only affect the game menu, but not normal gameplay elements), but the menu borders are... I don't know; I imagine it looking terribly ugly.
