CSIDE for windows:)
how do authors add in those fancy lil title pictures(?) at the beginning of their books? I’m assuming its some kinda png, transparent background with text in front of them. how do they make them? like, is there a specific app? and how do they get it to change from dark mode/light mode?

How to make quick and easy chapter headers

So, I see a lot of games come in without chapters headers, and I think this is a missed opportunity, because good looking chapter headers don’t have to be difficult. In fact, you can probably do them yourself for free! So, because I wanted to, I drew up a quick and easy walkthrough of how to make a good looking chapter headers in GIMP. For information on color in headers, see this post. First, you’re going to want to download GIMP. I recommend GIMP because it’s free, it’s available for Windows…

Here’s an excellent guide to doing exactly what you’re looking for.
