How to set a custom background image for each slide in Slidev?

[wy929]

I'm trying to set a different background image for individual slides in Slidev, but the image is not showing—slides remain with the default white background.

Here are some minimal reproducible examples of what I’ve tried:

---
layout: default
background: /bg-image.jpg
---

# What is Slidev?

Slide content goes here…

---
layout: image
background: /bg-image.jpg
---

# What is Slidev?

Slide content goes here…

---
layout: center
background: /bg-image.jpg
---

# What is Slidev?

Slide content goes here…

What I expect

The slide above should display bg-image.jpg as its background.

What actually happens

The slide background remains plain white.

Steps Taken So Far

Placed the image in the public/ directory to ensure it’s served by Vite.

Tried both relative (./bg-image.jpg) and absolute (/bg-image.jpg) paths.
