My character drawer web application now has a little menu to remove a lot of clutter from the main UI.
It now also has an option to set an overlay image (it technically really is an overlay image even if it does not look like one).
This image is always resized from top left to cover the drawing area, so you might play around with the imageβs aspect ratio and size.
A bit of overoptimizing caused some weird color glitches, but that is sorted out now, and it actually works. (and looks as expected on an actual terminal. The confetti was just some testing.
Import and export are also optimized, and there is a crude permalink function that causes thousands of characters long URLs but works up to a certain complexity.
β¦ and all of this for such a niche π

Actual representation depends on where itβs shown, of course. And yes, it actually works β¦
It can now also export to and import from a shareable plaintext format.
Well β¦ Basic functionality is there. π
