Hi,

You need to put the file relative to the theme css, then refere directly from there. Like "images/abc.jpg".

Hope that helps

Hi,
I tried different methods to set a background (local ) image using a scss file but it does'nt work.

I replace my image folder in theme directory of the web application. > NO result 
I tried to begin the URL with ("file:///...)     > NO result

If someone is good in CSS stuff and can explain to me why I can't use a local file as background image.
Thanks

Hi

have you read in book of vaadin how to create a theme and compile scss to css? I seems to me like your images aren't where your css file is.
