The dimensions are shown in the setting descriptions.
Game Screen BG: max 448x256px
Second Screen BG: max 400x240px

I’d recommend using exactly those sizes, but smaller images work too.
Also, it’s best to pre-dither the images, otherwise gradients may show visible banding on the 3DS.
I own N3DSXL and I run on asus rog gaming laptop and installed the latest python version. Microsoft wouldnt let me install the imagemagick.exe but I found the zip and extract it. I dont know how to run in powershell or cmd with imagemagick? Any tips or advice ? thanks.

something like this should work via cmd:
"C:\path\to\magick.exe" "C:\path\to\input.png" -channel R -ordered-dither o4x4,32 -channel G -ordered-dither o4x4,64 -channel B -ordered-dither o4x4,32 +channel -strip "C:\path\to\output.png"

In the end you may not need this at all. If your backgrounds already look fine and you don't see color banding, you can skip the pre-dither. It's only a tip for images that struggle in 16-bit color. I recommend reading this one here: https://lvgl.io/blog/tutorial-dithering-16bit

I tired few times your tips or advice on powershell or cmd on Imagemagick.exe but couldn't success it but I figured out how to turn off the Microsoft-verify app so I can install the imagemagick.exe now but still can't figure out LOL My guessing Ill have to go back lower version with .png thumbnails not .cache maybe 1.5.9 or 1.6.0 Ill be looking forward to your new update in future.
