Map as the background?
Is it possible to write an extension to have the map as the background? Essentially the image display with a grid as the desktop. I'm curious if this is even possible.

You can have whatever you as a background image but you can't put a FG grid on it no. You can put a grid on your image and then use it as a decal. There's an example extension for this on the FGCon website in the downloads section.

2 years later and about a month's worth of weekend tinkering. it's completely possible. However it was a constant fight with FG's windowing system..

Cool. How do we use the webm file?

Reading this thread I just got the idea to use my campaign regional map as the background since it doesn't need a grid and doesn't change.
