Tx for the update
When I put an image in the background (new feature), I can't click these buttons.

Welcome to the forums!

I've just tested this and they are working OK for me. Are you running any extensions?

Which ruleset is that? I don't recognize the graphics.

Just finished our weekly session (Belgium -Europe).
I test without any extensions tomorrow.
Extension is pen en paper view or something. Rules set is D&D 5e.
Tx for checking.

The icons and colors shown in your picture for the sidebar (bluish-gray) are not the standard colors for those icons in the 5E ruleset, or any of the included extensions (Wizards, Simple Gray, Simple Brown).

My guess is that the extension is overwriting changes in the base ruleset, which is extending a hidden window over that section of the screen. Since the old ruleset code used to extend the character windows that far, my guess is that someone copied full class and panel definitions into an extension, which are not needed.

Problem solved. Good guess. The extension "5E_Notebook_Theme_DD_v102.ext" is not compatible with version 3.7
Thx for your support.

I stumbled across this thread and now I'm looking for more details on the feature. I looked at the 3.3.7 release notes, but am not seeing it. Can somebody point me in the right direction? Does this feature allow me to place an image for the background of the UI?

On the bar at the top of each image window is a little up-right arrow. Click it once and see what happens, click it again and see what happens :)

I still don't get it. When I click the up arrow a second time, it just covers everything up. Its not a background, but a foreground, and I can't access any other windows like the chat, or tool buttons. Am I missing something?

The first up arrow takes you into a mode where the image shares the desktop with other UI elements for running a game.
The second up arrow takes you into an overlay mode, where the image covers all other UI and is meant to be used for live tabletop situations.
