Anyone know where this bg texture file is? (messages)

Ugh, those numbers are weird. I can't make any sense of it.

[Decoman]

There are something called "crop" in the files. With weird numbering like 0.1523452.

Ok. Now I understand. You are viewing the menu files directly. You need to use the included menu editor. Do you know how to activate it?

[Decoman]

Oh. I'll have a new look at it. Thanks!

Edit: Lol, apparantly it is abit complicated. But I now understand that there is a design philosophy of sorts, explained here for anyone coming across this thread:
