:lol:
Code:
COLOR 12, 1
PRINT "Red text with blue background!"
But I can bet anything that you would want to do this in another screen mode. Like SCREEN 13 or something, right?

it's easy, see COLOR in the editor's HELP
example
cls
color 26,1 : print "asdfghjk"
color 4,1 : print "zxcvbnn"
color 0,7 : print "1234567890"
sound 2345,5: sound 5432,5

Lol actually it was in any screen but about five mins after i posted this i figured it out. But is it even possible to do it in other screens?

You can use the colors listed in qb help (
http://qbasicnews.com/qboho/qckcolor.shtml) in any of the qb screen resoutions(i.e. one's changed by using SCREEN). Although the flashing ones don't work(don't flash) outside text mode (SCREEN 0).
