SVG Support in Vaadin

I am trying to use an SVG as a logo in my application.  Accessing directly from the themes folder works so it is not Tomcat or the browser (Chrome) that is the problem.

I have tried and failed with all of the below:
1) CSS background image with addStyle on a Label, MenuItem, Button
2) the actual SVG text in the Label with content as HTML
3) Embedded image from a ThemeResource attached to the layout
4) ThemeResource with setIcon on a Button, MenuItem

I am at my wits end.  I have read through every possible SVG comment in these forums, Stackoverflow etc.  Nothing works.  

PNGs - no problem. 

Any, ANY help is appreciated.

Signed,
Frustrated

Hi Sheila,
it works fine for me with Image and css. 

@Theme("mytheme")
public class MyUI extends UI {

    protected void init(VaadinRequest vaadinRequest) {
        final VerticalLayout layout = new VerticalLayout();

        Label label = new Label();
        label.setWidthUndefined();
        label.setStyleName("mytest");

        Image image = new Image(null, new ThemeResource("imgs/laptop.svg"));

        Button button = new Button(null, new ThemeResource("imgs/laptop.svg"));
        button.setStyleName("mytest");
        
        layout.addComponents(label, image, button);
        layout.setMargin(true);
        layout.setSpacing(true);

        setContent(layout);

    }
}

And the theme

@import "../valo/valo.scss";

@mixin mytheme {
  @include valo;

  .v-label-mytest {
    background-image: url(imgs/laptop.svg);
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    background-size: contain;
  }
  .v-button-mytest .v-icon {
    background-image: url(imgs/laptop.svg);
    width: 20px;
    height: 20px;
  }

}

Thank you Marco.  I believe the cause of my problem is due to the SVG image itself, not vaadin.  Although I exported it as 100x33, the width and height were both still set at 100%.  When I matched both the values in the viewbox and the width/height - it finally worked.

Thank you for your quick response, Marco.  Such a simple thing yet frustrating when it doesn't work.  

Cheers!
Sheila
