im new to this.. just starting out using max so need quite a few tips!

basicly i want to make the background of my patch black in presentation mode.

is the best way to do this using a panel and making it not move?

Now they won’t be editable or selectable unless you choose Unlock Background.

do you know how to make it so that every comment box in the patch as the same settings?

like background colour, font, and font colour?

Or if you have lots already, select them all and use the Inspector, it will change them all at once. Same with any group of objects of the same type, and partially true with multiple types of objects (only the shared attributes will be available in the Inspector).
