Why doesn't my menu background change when I set custom skins ?, the background remains the stock OSU slideshow of images when ever I try to change it.

The menu background is a supporter-only feature
You need an osu!supporter to use it.

Now that I'm a supporter what steps do I need to take to change the background?

Drag the image that you want to be the background to the osu! window

Alternate way : Change the image name to "menu-background.jpg" and drop it to the skin folder that you're using.

A little correction: Only .jpg extension BGs can be used. Consider converting if you have a .png BG.

when I drag the image to osu window it gives me an error "please enter the editor before trying to add background images"
and the alternate way doesn't change the image either, could it be that I need to wait longer before closing and reopening osu to restart it?

Make sure you drag the image in the osu! main menu screen, not anywhere else.

Oh, and, disable Seasonal Background, set it to [Never]

Have you set the Seasonal Background to [Never] ?

It shouldn't have to be specific size for it to work.
