Introduction
My second plugin in my quest to port my Ace scripts to MV plugins to make messages prettier. I encourage people to make their own nice designs, the one in the demo isn't very fancy.

Features
Display an image behind "Show Message" windows instead of the normal windowskin. These images react to the Show Message settings such as 'Dim', 'Transparent' and positioning.
- A variable can be used to change the image during game
- A switch can be used to disable the image and revert to normal windowskin messages


How to Use
- Copy the "GALV_MessageBackground.js" file into your project's /js/plugins/ folder.
- Copy the image "msgimg_0.png" and "msgimg_1.png" (from either plugin or demo download) into your project's /img/system/ folder (to use as guides for making your own).
- Activate plugin using the 'Plugin Manager'
- Change the switch/variable settings as required (make sure to label the switch/variables you use in your game so you don't use them for something else)
- Read the 'HELP' documentation (also found in plugin manager) for more details and try the demo if you don't understand.
