About nizima LIVE settings files
When selling items that include configured nizima LIVE settings, you must first register the items in nizima LIVE and then export the settings file and include it with the work you are selling.

Thumbnails
If there is a file with the name “ico_xxx.png” in an item folder, that image is displayed.
(Supported formats: .png, .jpeg, Recommended size: 184 × 184 px)
When “ico_xxx.png” is not present, an automatically generated thumbnail is displayed in nizima LIVE by default for Live2D items (only items registered in nizima LIVE), animation items (all items), and still image items (all items).
Standard for item display position
When producing an item, it is recommended that you avoid having excessive transparent areas around the item whenever possible. With nizima LIVE 1.1.0, the item is displayed in a position and size based on the canvas. As such, if there are excessive transparent areas around the item, or if the item is positioned toward the canvas edge, the item may be displayed outside the window when placed in nizima LIVE.
