How to change text box/appearance of text printer?

Just got Naninovel yesterday and have been finagling. I understand that text printers only fall underneath 'UI' in the traditional sense, but in Naninovel are treated like 'actors'.
My situation: I'm wanting to replace the default text box look with a custom text box, and have it positioned so it only appears towards the bottom right corner.
I'm not sure how to apply an image to the Dialogue prefab, or if that's what I need to be messing with in the first place.
Any help is appreciated!

You can customise the printer however you want, they use Unity UI components which you can learn about here: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.u ... index.html
There are also plenty of Youtube tutorials where they go over Unity UI components.
It is recommended not to customise the inbuilt printers, create a new printer instead and add it to the printer resources: https://naninovel.com/guide/text-printe ... m-printers

Ok, so it's more a Unity thing than a Naninovel thing. I was just confused because the text printers were separated from the UI. Thanks for reply!
