No, itā€™s used for overlays

Which bg?
Overlays can only be pngs, and backgrounds are usually jpg, jpeg, or smth else

Oh, well, it probably is too large and the incorrect format, so thatā€™s why I made an overlay the correct size

Plus, you canā€™t do that sorta transition with just bgs, you need an overlay

51

what now?

Oops, typo, I meant that you canā€™t do*

Idk how to explain it.
Pretty much, to upload an overlay, it needs to be a png, and under 1MB
Also, for that transition to work:

You need the day bg as an overlay

i have gimp but how can i cut the bg in 3 so that ist just on zone???

54

Why would u do that?

55

so that it can fit ? how should I do it differently

56

A file compressor!
This one works!

i have done it but its not what i thougtā€¦

itā€™s nice that it goes from night to day, but I miss the real transition. that you see in real life. dark becomes lighter and then it is morning

61

Oh! Then you need more overlays to create a smooth transition

62

:thinking: ? how much and how
and do ypu know how big an 2 zone bg is ?

63

Well, depends, they would sorta be like frames for an animation
How? You could just edit one of the bgs, for example the night one, make multiple variations of it, where the light hits differently

I could make u some, but just tomorrow, itā€™s really late here
