Hi @mammoet

If you have set `httpStatic` to `/home/pi/image` then any file you have in that directory can be accessed from `http://localhost:1880/`

For example, if your background image is `/home/pi/image/my-image.png` then you should be able to access that as `http://localhost:1880/my-image.png`

Following the example on the mailing list you’ve linked to, you can insert the following into a `ui_template` node within your dashboard:

```auto
<style>
    body {
        background-image: url("/my-image.png");
    }
</style>

```
