Hi all !
Well it's almost self explanatory. What I want to do is a pop-up window with a special color background, red for error message for example. How do i do that please ? It's there a setColorBackground but with a area definition ? (For the pop-up itself I want to find myself, i know how to make it />)

can't set color by area, you'll have to set the color before drawing your popup window, then redraw the area under it with the original colors when it closes.

This is actually relatively easy. Just write spaces with the specified background color within bounds defined by a for loop

-- a blue box at 10, 10 with width 10 and height 10
term.setBackgroundColor(colors.blue)
for x=10, 20 do
  for y=10, 20 do
    write ' '
  end
end

Thanks you all ! If I want to print something in the area I must fill up the void space with blank character or can I print blank everywhere then overwrite with the text i want to write?

You could just print the blankness, then draw the text wherever you want. Not a problem.
