If background color does not work, try putting a column. Then set the height and width to fill parent and select your background color ---

@er_barto . It looks like you have uncovered a bug. Changing the background color of the Screen ought to work when the app resizes. Could you please file an issue [here](https://github.com/thunkable/thunkable-issues/issues). That will help us track it properly and will maximize the chance of it getting fixed. If, in that issue, you can share a simple project that demonstrates the problem, that will also help! Thanks in advance. -Mark ---
