Object masks are images which are applied to objects. They determine the terrain type of the pixels of an object. The image has to be of the same dimensions of the object in question. The masks work like `mask.png` of image maps, see [PresetMaps#mask.png].

    67
The name of an object mask file has to follow the pattern “`<object name>_mask.png`”, where “`<object name>`” is the file name of the object the mask is applied to, minus the suffix. For example, the mask of `cheese.png` would be `cheese_mask.png`. (See the Cheese theme in `Data/Themes/Cheese` in the Hedgewars installation directory for an example.)

This image is drawn behind the water and the landscape, but in front of the “sky” images. There is also a slight parrallax scrolling effect, this means, if the player moves the view to the left, the horizont will appear to move faster than the sky.

It is repeated horizontally, unless you use `horizontL.png` and/or `horizontR.png`, then it is just the center image. You also would want to make sure this image has no horizontal seams.

Contains a sprite sheet of 64×64 images. A flake is a background image which rotates and falls from the cloud line, flows with the wind and it can optionally be animated. This file is only for the flakes before Sudden Death. Each image in `Flake.png` is also called a “frame” (as in “animation frame”).

All water images are optional and all have defaults (in `Data/Graphics`). Water images come in 2 groups of 3 images each, for the time before Sudden Death and for Sudden Death. It is recommended that you edit all images in a group at once, so the colors match neatly. You probably don’t want to have blue water driplets if you have made the water blood-red.

This will be drawn on the top of the water, before Sudden Death. The size is 128×48 pixels. It does not have to be blue, despite the name. This image will be repeated horizontally. It is recommended to edit `water-top` and `water-bottom` in `theme.cfg` as well if you use a custom image, so the colors match nicely.
