      Good evening.

      I'm creating a new theme with custom background images for individual systems and I'm having problems when adding an image. The image should appear for every system, so I add this to my main xml file [MY_THEME/]my_theme.xml

      <view name="basic detailed video">
          <image name="list_help" extra="true">
            <path>./_inc/images/help-list.png</path>
            <origin>1 1</origin>
            <pos>1 1</pos>
          </image>
        </view>
      

      ...but it doesn't work. Nothing appears. But, if I add this to one of the systems .xml:

        <view name="basic detailed video">
          <image name="list_help" extra="true">
            <path>./../_inc/images/help-list.png</path>
            <origin>1 1</origin>
            <pos>1 1</pos>
          </image>
        </view>
      

      ...it works with no problem. I want to avoid adding those lines to every system theme. Does anyone know where the problem is?

      Regards and thanks in advance

        @zerobyzero separate basic, detailed and video with commas like this

        <view name="basic, detailed, video">
        

        at least that is how I have it on my own theme.
