Shoutem Changing main background on App

Question

I want to upload an image and set that to the background on my custom shoutem app. I've seen some tutorials where this is possible in the builder but it appears to be for the older version. Do I need to create a custom theme to accomplish this? If so where do i need to set the background in the theme.js file?

Answer 1

So, the way right way to do it is to modify Shoutem navigation extension. Let's say that you're using TabBar navigation: in that case, you should customize TabBar screen and render an Image component on top of the Screen component. Also, you need to put transparent color as value for the background color in Style -> Customize theme -> Background color under Basic color.
