 * Is there anyway to upload a custom overlay? I have tried to upload a new png 
   and txt to the image folder of the plugin. How do I get it to show up in the 
   list on the background manager?
 * Thanks!

 * Please ignore the post by corrotica, it’s unrelated to your question.
 * You can indeed upload an image to the `background-manager/resources/images/overlays`
   folder. The text file must have the same filename as the image (except with a.
   txt extension) and on the first line contain a short description.
 * I’ll consider an option to add overlays in a more user-friendly manner.

 * Hi Myatu
 * Great plugin, works like a boss. I love the plugin, its innovative compared to
   the rest. I have one problem, ive searched forums and tried everything to get
   the overlays to work. Nothing seems to work how can i get help? I dont mind donating
   or paying you for help.
 * Kind regards
