  Hi Alcatraz,
  
  Thank you for writing.
  
  Actually, RadToolStrip does not support adding a background image. However, you can manually extend the default behavior by adding an ImagePrimitive to its elements. Please consider the following code snippet:
  

  ImagePrimitive imagePrimitive = new ImagePrimitive();

  imagePrimitive.Image = global::Test_RadToolStrip.Properties.Resources.my_background_image;                    

  this.radToolStrip1.ToolStripManager.Children[0].Children.Add(imagePrimitive);

  
  You have to keep in mind that there is a limitation on this implementation: RadToolStrip's layout does not allow for stretching the image in the added ImagePrimitive element.
  
  Let me know if you have any additional questions.
  
  Kind regards,
