How to get rid of the portrait box in cinematics?

[Zwiebelchen]

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.

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?

I really don't remember now, But in my own Cinematic (see signature) I used it in gameplay Interface, I think it was Cinematic border however...

Advanced -> Game Interface

Note that this will also affect the borders for most game dialogs, i.e. pause menu.

Hmm ... this kind of sucks. Is there another way to create a text message on the bottom part of the screen?

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.
