You can't make the Editfield background go away, but you could make it the same color as the window. However this will still leave a box around the Editfield... which could be good or bad, depending on your perspective. Also, if you make an Editfield Read Only (and leave it Enabled), the user can't edit it, and it leaves the text in the true and proper color.

You can turn off the border and the focus border on an Editfield and, if the background of the window and the editfield are the same solid color, it will appear as if the text was on the background. The scrollbar might look a bit weird though.

It's also an easy way to create scrolling credits. :-)
