I recently bought the Support Tag, and seeing the feature for adding in a Personal Background, I was excited

So then I quickly went over to google to find my new Background, but then I noticed something when attempting to drag and drop a photo for my new background

"osu! doesn't know what do to with this file" (I think that was the error, basing it off memory here)

Then I take a look at the File Extension that is listed with it '.bmp'

(If you don't know what a .bmp extension is, think of it like a .png or .jpg)

I was pretty surprised that osu!, couldn't support .bmp files.

I am writing this Forum to help maybe support the possibility of supporting these types of files.

Thanks and Cheers

Whats the point, just convert it to JPG/PNG.
BMP isn't that common in comparison.

it's not about "couldn't", it's about "didn't want to"
bmp-files are unnecessarily big and if you save thousands of user-avatars you don't want to waste space for nothing

I highly doubt people will use it. Adding support for it might be fine, but what's the point of adding it when no one uses it?
