messagebox(message, background)

Description
Newlines can be embedded in the message. The window has quite a wide default width, about two-thirds the width of the average display screen. If the longest line of your message is shorter than that, the messagebox widget shrinks in width to be just the size of the longest line. No scrollbars are provided to accomodate wider or longer messages.
