08/28/2020, 5:55 PMYeah, i have a shape file just as a POC for now to house the header image. I tried imageResource and imageFromResource and neither works.

08/28/2020, 6:31 PMThe other alternative is to use Modifier.drawBehind and use the corresponding draw calls directly on DrawScope which for a simple shape is a one liner
