Title: Allow hiding animated decoration ("Butterflies don't go away")
Post by: Simon on June 07, 2026, 11:31:37 AM
CE 1.1.1

There is the option to hide background tiles. This hides non-animated background, but it still shows animated background. There seems to be no way to hide animated decorations.

Please let me hide the animated decorations!

With the CE 1.1.1 set of options, I would have expected the hide-backgrounds option to also hide the unanimated decorations. Reasoning: Either we want to see the level exactly how the designer made it, or we want the bare-bones functionality.

I don't know if anybody wants to see one kind animated/unanimated background, but not the other. Maybe it's better as a separate option, even if it's more clutter and more work for the user?

Maybe reword the options to Show Backgrounds and activate by default, instead of Hide Backgrounds and disabled by default. It's the classic preference to word bool options positively: I want backgrounds, check, I don't want backgrounds, uncheck.
