I explained in the previous reply. Everything has a cost, and we chose not to pack asset loading and positioning into the background of every container. It is pretty straightforward to add it in a custom skin for the few containers that need it.

Its up to user whether to use it or not. Background on components is the basic requirement of many clients now a days. Hope in future adobe will implement/add this feature. Thanks for the reply Alex.

Every capability has a cost, and we chose not to make the container backgrounds as heavy as the Halo theme. It doesn’t matter how many lines of code are in the skin if it doesn’t include the logic to load and position images.

I can get the background color to change, but not add an image. Perhaps a skin will work, but I can’t get it to work so far. I’ve replaced the two lines of CSS with the default class “panel skin” which is over 300 lines long, includes three overrides and other methods and still doesn’t seem to have an ability to add an image. Who would have guessed a simple image would bring Flex to its knees?
