1. Extract the ENTIRE ZIP. Keep runtime with the launcher.
2. Double-click Start.cmd. Python, Tk and Pillow are included; no installation required.
3. Choose a PNG, JPG, BMP, WebP, TGA image or a GIF.
4. Preview and adjust opacity, darkness and texture quality. FPS and speed apply to GIFs.
5. Close WoW. Choose your specific game folder (e.g. _classic_beta_), Interface/AddOns,
   the ForeverCombatTracker addon folder, or an ordinary export folder.
6. Apply / export background. For an ordinary export destination, copy the resulting
   ForeverCombatTrackerMedia folder into your game's Interface/AddOns.
7. Start WoW and enable Forever Combat Tracker - Custom Background.

Requires Forever Combat Tracker 0.2.29 or newer. No main-addon update is needed.
Images and animations use the SAME media folder; applying one replaces the other.
The older static Background Helper config is superseded while this media addon is enabled.
/fct background animation on|off controls GIF playback; off shows its first frame.
Image/GIF backgrounds are cropped to 4:3; the in-game window stretches to its own size.
Quality 256 is a lightweight default; choose 512 for a clearer still image.
GIF limit: 100 MB, 4096px, 1000 original frames, 30 seconds, 64 sampled frames,
up to 20 FPS playback. Longer GIFs have a lower effective frame rate.
Static image limit: 100 MB, 8192px. Animated WebP/APNG are not supported; use GIF.
No images are included. Use media you have permission to use.
If startup fails, run Diagnose.cmd and send StartupError.txt.
Conversion/export tests passed on Linux. The bundled Windows runtime and GUI require
Windows testing; they have not been executed on Windows in this environment.
