@help
In RPG Maker MZ and MV， the default background for the ”Show Text” command is
”Window.”
Change this to a different background type.

Specify the default background in the plugin parameters.
The ”Window” background setting for the ”Show Text” command
will be changed to the ”Dark” or ”Transparent” background specified by the
plugin.

If you need to use a ”Window” background，
set the background for the ”Show Text” command
to the same background as the type specified in the plugin parameters.

There is no plugin command.

# Acknowledgments
This plugin was created based on the specifications of Kuina Tsutamori’s
Message Window Background Default Setting Plugin.

At first， the code was completely different，
but after organizing and comparing it， it ended up being very similar to the
above plugin.
I think my code is cheaper，
but I couldn’t understand Tsutamori Kuina’s code.
Then I discovered that the above plugin works with MZ...that’s how it
happened.
Since I went to the trouble of making it， I decided to make it public.

@param messageDefaultBack
