Hi,

You can try this out (I haven't tried this, but theoretically this should be it):

1. Open the themes folder under "<Drive name>:\sap\<instance name>\JC<>\j2ee\cluster\server0\temp\webdynpro\web\sap.com\tc_wddispwda\global\SSR\themes".

2. Select a theme that you want to modify (let's say sap_chrome).

3. Open the css file (let's say ur_6.9_ie6.css) in edit mode. You can find the css files in the "ur" folder.

4. The first line of the css file contains the styles for a class called "urBodyStd".

5. Add the following to the styles of this class:

background-image:url('fileName.extension');

6. Save and restart the server.

7. Use the "sap-cssurl" URL parameter for your application and pass the URL of this css that you have just modified. Note that this URL will be of the format

http://<server name>:<port>/webdynpro/resources/sap.com/tc~wd~dispwda/global/SSR/themes/<theme name>/ur/<cssFileName>

Hi,

I think you cannot directly set the image as a background for the view.

Instead create a view container with Gridlayout and colcount 1.

Add a image UI Element and set the height and width in the layout data and not for Image UI element.

hi shriram,

in tat case u cant embed any UI elements on the image..understood..

i am asking about the background.

Hi,

Then i dont think that is possible, because the background color of the view is a theme in the webdynpro.

If you try to change the theme, you can change the colour.

i am not sure if you can set the theme to a image.

Even if you can then every view will have this image as background.
