Image Specifications
To ensure the best display on all screen sizes, use the following image specs:
- Recommended Dimensions: 1280px (width) × 800px (height). The height can be increased depending on the amount of components you have on the Home screen.
- File Type: JPG, PNG or WEBP
- Avoid using dark images behind dark text or light images behind light text. Aim for balanced contrast so that buttons and text remain clear and legible.
Tips for a Great Background
- Use high-resolution imagery.
- Keep the design simple — avoid busy patterns that distract from content.
- Make sure text overlays (widgets, tiles, etc.) are still legible.
- Test on a device before finalizing.
