Configuration

All settings can be adjusted in-game via Risk of Options mod settings menu:

Left Image Settings

• Position X - Horizontal position (negative = more left, positive = more right)
• Position Y - Vertical position (negative = more down, positive = more up)
• Width - Image width in pixels (10-2000)
• Height - Image height in pixels (10-2000)

Right Image Settings

How to Use Your Own Images

1. Create or find two PNG images you want to use (one for left, one for right)
2. Recommended base resolution: 800x1080 or similar vertical images
3. Navigate to AppData/Roaming/r2modmanPlus-local/RiskOfRain2/profiles/DesiredProfile/BepInEx/plugins/PauseMenuImages/
4. Replace left_image.png and right_image.png with your own images
5. Keep the exact filenames: left_image.png and right_image.png
6. Launch the game and adjust position/size in Risk of Options settings to fit your screen perfectly!

Tips

• Transparent backgrounds work great and look professional
• Vertical images (taller than wide) work best
• Use the in-game sliders to fine-tune position and size for your screen resolution
• PNG format is required (use GIMP, Photoshop, or any image editor)
• The animation is subtle - disable it in settings if you prefer instant appearance
• Test different width/height values to make images fit your aesthetic

Notes

• Placeholder images are included as examples
• Images automatically respect your screen's UI scaling
• Click-through is enabled so transparent areas won't block menu interaction
• Images only show on the main pause screen, not in submenus
• Changes to settings take effect the next time you pause
• Requires Risk of Options mod for in-game configuration

Recommended Image Tools

• GIMP - Free, powerful image editor (what the creator uses!)
• Photoshop - Professional option
• Paint.NET - Simple and lightweight
