Black Bars Customization — Add your own Images and GIFs!

Hello everyone! Now in WinGrid you can fully transform the black bars at the top, bottom, or sides of your screen. Decorate your gaming screen with your own custom PNG images or animated GIFs!

What's new in this update:

- PNG and GIF Support — upload any images and animations to the top, bottom, and side bars.

Tips for choosing GIFs and images for best performance:

To make your custom bars look crisp and run smoothly, we recommend using the following parameters:

- File Formats: For static images use .PNG or .JPG. For animations use .GIF.

- Frame Count: It is optimal to choose GIFs with 10–30 frames and smooth animation. They load instantly and use zero memory.

- Aspect Ratio: Images and GIFs automatically scale and neatly fill the entire black bar area.

Customize the app to your style and enjoy gaming!
