Beyond rearranging what is already there, you can place entirely new elements: buttons that run actions, static or animated images, and text labels.

Adding a New Button

In the editor, use the add-element option and choose a button. Give it a label, then set its action. Actions can include opening a web link, running a command, sending a chat message, or opening another screen. Position and size it like any other element. Test the button by exiting edit mode and clicking it.

Placing Text and Images

Add a text element to write custom lines such as a welcome message or credits. You can change the font size, color, and alignment. For images, add an image element and point it at a picture file. Animated images such as GIFs are supported, so you can use a looping animation as a logo or decoration. Keep image sizes reasonable so the menu still loads quickly.

Layering and Order

Elements drawn later appear on top. If an image covers a button, reorder the elements in the list or move the image behind. Use this to build a background layer, then place buttons and text above it. Save your work and check the result in normal play mode.
