I've tried a many times, can't get it to compile, I really don't know how to configure Visual Studio for this...
Anyone? Please?

There ya go.
You need Visual Studio 2019, with XP compatibility component.

You're the best, Phi!

But it gives a "Unable to load image" error, have you tested?
I know it's not your extension... But would be awesome if you could fix/improve it in any way, since it was a feature that many have asked before
I would definately buy a better version of this!

Edit: I see, it only works when exported, but the image is hardcoded (I guess because it couldn't load the image file)
Well, it replace completely the canvas from Fusion with a image, so it's not that useful in the current state...
The idea was something like window shape, but with alpha channel support

Okay, updated it to DarkEdif SDK, so I could easily use the SDK's text conversion feature. And there's now a Unicode version too.

Now I'm getting this error everywhere, and the action that should select a image only checks but doesn't show the box to add the file...
It shows on starting Fusion, shows when adding the extension, shows when running...

Fixed @Fuuriokun , was a typo in the json file.

Oh wow, you for sure fixed it!

Is it really hard to modify it to make the Fusion canvas be displayed on top of this? This is the ultimate goal!

It would be cool if the empty canvas was completely transparent on top of this, but I would be glad if at least the canvas was on top of this, even if the image itself would be invisible
I mean, the image visibility could be togglable, so we could use just the alpha channel transparency and only the canvas on top, or show the full image in color instead

Oh, just noticed, it also can't load images from binary inside the exe... Could you please add this?
