I mean does the image in this count from the mini menu extension the thing on the inside is 32x32 though it is not in the sprites category which means, idk weather or not it counts. ![Screen Shot 2024-04-15 at 8.07.45 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/6/6803470e2bf36c59cfc22d4e047f42444f083298.png) This is what it looks like on screen ![Screen Shot 2024-04-15 at 8.20.07 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/e/e4a2e7b7018db87a7a12673502c412e83c18afaf.png) ---
