Sure. Just set the background picture to the image’s url using the Get Value block in the Data Source drawer. If you need more help, post a screenshot of what you have tried. ---

Sorry, I mentioned the Get Value block but for Firebase you’ll need to use cloud variables. At the bottom of the Variables drawer is a block that you can use to get a cloud variable (it will first show “app” variable) from a firebase path. So you’ll **set background picture to cloud variable "a1/logo"** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/3/93e089bb116e2743a8300065c897070b3ddcc689.png) ---
