Saving background color picker on place

I just added in the background color picker in the save files. If you have saved something previously to this, please save on an empty save file and then load your original save slot to make it work if it doesn't work.

Fixed export all animation frames error

Fixed export animations error and made the code easier.

How to back up your save slots

Right now there are only 4 save slots. If you really want to save something and keep it while you work on more things that require more save slots then do this:

Go to %localappdata% and then the Shadowforge folder.
Alternatively zip everything there or just move them to another folder.
When you need to return to this drawing and your save slots are full, copy them back to the %localappdata% Shadowforge folder.

You don't need programming knowledge to do this, all you need is to search for %localappdata% after pressing WIN key + R.

Here's just a reminder what it saves:

Time worked on your art piece.
10 layers.
9 animation frames.
A lot of code that must be saved for the program to return to where it was.
Back ups.

First save slot is marked as _1, second save slot as _2 and so on.

Cheers.

Onionskin reverted back

Now that rearranging layers are working correctly, I thought that there is no need for the bad onionskin rework that I made. So now the onionskin won't be saved to surface, but they will be visible on the canvas, however they won't be exported to an image. The onionskin will be there for you to see how you want to merge the layers.

Onionskin saving did not work as intended, using it as...

The onionskinning could not be saved like I wanted it to, instead it bugged the purpose for onionskinning. The saved images will be used as backup in %localappdata% folder.
