6) Notes on Background Movement

The plugin exposes practical movement modes available via editor style settings:

• Static mode for non-tiled screen-space presentation
• Follow Graph (Tiled) mode for tiled background behavior

7) Troubleshooting

Theme does not visibly change:

• Ensure plugin is enabled.
• Switch to another preset and back.
• Re-open a Blueprint graph tab.

Background image does not appear:

• Verify file path exists and extension is supported.
• Try png or jpg first.
• Ensure bUseCustomBackgroundImage is enabled.

Grid lines still visible over image:

• Enable bHideGridWhenUsingCustomBackground.

Returning to Default does not match your expected custom setup:

• Default restores baseline editor style captured by plugin at startup.
