Random Background ID?

Just installed the full game (bargain for a tenner!) and in the Start menu folder there is an entry reading Random Background ID.

What does that do? I'm too scared to click it.

Well, it comes up with a command prompt [Black box thingy] and usually when a command prompt comes up, dont touch it. Since command prompts control different things, its better just to stay away from it

p.s. Dont worry, its not a virus or anything, everyone who downloads it gets it.

Read the friendly manual:
If you want to create a new background, you just need to make a PNG or JPEG image and put it in the 'Levels' folder, calling it 'background_N.png' or 'background_N.jpg', where N is a positive integer. You'll then be able to select the new background when editing levels. The width and height of the image must both be a power of 2 (e.g. 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, ...). To prevent conflicts with other backgrounds, use the 'Random Background ID' tool to generate N.
