Shared resources between themes

Is ThemeResource inheritance possible? Meaning, can I create a default theme with a default /img directory, create child theme, and inherit /img dir in the child theme?

We have a default theme, but need to possibly change that theme based on the authenticated user. Most resources like icons should come from the default theme, but we want to be able to override things like MenuItem icons if necessary.

As long as your themes are both in the VAADIN directory as they should, the CSS in mytheme can refer to resources in /img e.g. with “…//img/myimage.png” - the themes share a common parent directory and both are visible to the browser.
