You probably created the layout in a universal mode or never actually replaced the background via the background dialog, so FancyMenu keeps layering on whatever the pack’s default background already provides.

Here’s what to check:

1. Edit the layout “for the current screen”, not a universal one. The Title screen’s vanilla elements are only customizable in screen-specific layouts. Enable customization for the Title screen via the menu bar, then create (or “Save As”) a layout with “For Current Screen” selected.

2. Set the background inside that layout:

   • Right-click the editor background → Set Background.
   • Choose your custom image/slide/panorama/etc. and click Configure Background to point it at /config/fancymenu/assets/….
   • Save the layout (Ctrl+S) and exit the editor.

3. Disable any other layout still touching that screen (even universal ones) if they include their own backgrounds—backgrounds stack, so a layout with higher index or same screen might still show the “modpack” image on top. You can lower the layout index or temporarily disable other layouts via Customization → Layouts → Manage….

4. Verify customizations are enabled for the Title screen. In-game, go to Customization on the menu bar and make sure the “Current Screen Customization” toggle is Enabled for the Title screen.

If the default image still shows, it’s probably coming from another layout (maybe shipped with the pack). You’ll need to disable or edit that layout so it doesn’t set a background anymore. For more details on setting backgrounds, see Menu Backgrounds.

I did the exact same thing, and I still cannot apply it. If I go in the layout manager, I only see my own layout, and I cannot remove the old one which is standard.

The “Modpack Background (Please change me)” image is still visible because whatever layout is customising that screen earlier in the stack is still setting a background. FancyMenu backgrounds stack, so your new background can be hidden beneath anything that runs before it.

What to do:

1. Make sure the Title screen is actually customised by your layout.

   • Open the Title screen, go to Customization → Current Screen Customizations and enable it.
   • Then use Layouts → New → For Current Screen (or “Save As” from your layout) so you’re editing a Title-screen-specific layout.
   • Right-click the editor background, go to Set Background, choose your image, configure it, and save the layout (Ctrl+S).
     (This process is described on the Menu Backgrounds page.)

2. Check for other layouts/backgrounds doing the same screen.

   • The built-in “Modpack Background” is probably coming from another layout that also sets a background. Even if that layout isn’t listed in the UI (it might be included via the modpack’s config), it still runs unless you delete/disable it.
   • Look in config/fancymenu/customization/ for extra .txt files or set layout_index so yours runs last. You can also disable the old layout by moving it out of that folder or renaming it.

3. Verify backgrounds are not stacking transparently.

   • If you want the modpack layout gone, either delete it, disable it, or edit it so it doesn’t set a background. Only one background can be visible unless you intentionally stack them.

If you still see the old image after those steps, it’s likely from a layout shipped inside the modpack’s config/fancymenu/customization folder (even if you don’t see it in the UI). In that case, remove or rename that file so only your layout is active, then reload FancyMenu.

Let me know what you find and I can help identify the stray layout!

Ticket Summary

User wants to replace the default main menu background with their own image but even though their custom layout is enabled, the original “Modpack Background” still displays and they can’t remove whichever layout is forcing it, so their background never shows up.

Are you sure the modpack back ground is set with FM ?

Hello, yes, I am sure. I enabled current screen editing, I created a new layout for the screen, set background through local asset picture, (1920x1080 picture), applied it, and pressed save. Even If it's enabled, it is not shown on the main menu

It should be something like this

I'm dumb as hell. I had two menu mods installed. Sorry guys
