YOU MUST BE A SUPPORTER TO USE THIS

Hi there folks, I come again with a new application which creates menu backgrounds that match your dekstop background, giving off a transparent window effect! Like the picture here.
Original idea was by Pannari, sadly I managed to code my GUI version of the application way faster than he managed to do. He'll be posting the console application version soon.
Heres some screenshots of how it looks like.
Theres preview mode where you can view how it will look like on your osu! with your desktop background behind it.


Instructions on how to use: >:(
1. Unzip it anywhere and open it.
2. Select your main osu! folder.
3. Select the skin you want the background to be set on (the one you're using or another).
4. Click the button and then restart your osu! client for the changes to take effect.

Download latest version here!

Looks cool. I'll try it.
---------------------------------
EDIT: When I test it, there was something that is not right. This is my main background:And o!verlay use this one: Also, I use Windows 8.1. The OS may cause this problem?

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Can you try to put the application directly on your desktop or somewhere else like C: or D: drive and give it a go.

The path is wrong. It shouldn't be C:\Program Files\osu!\Skins, what path did you set?

Are you using more than 1 monitor? If so, it works with the Primary Screen background.

Its you actually. Set it to C:\Program Files\osu!

Added a filter to make sure osu! subfolders will not be accepted as the game path.

Delete the o!verlay cfg file and try again. Your PC IS an idiot. Do you have multiple osu! clients installed or something.

I don't have any code that would lead to such a path, don't know how you managed to do this.

I'm on a laptop, but the new update fixes the problem. Thanks~

Might be a problem with reading osu user config. Please give me your osu!.<username>.cfg file.
