The filename of an image can be used as the background for any stack or flow. The image will be tiled to take up all the space in the stack or flow. Note that when using the background method, always use it first thing in the stack or flow. If the background method is called after other elements, the background will paint over those other elements.

"A different color was selected to make ",
