@mikaydengutierrez33v I too earlier was looking for a solution to change bg. colour of a navigator, TopTab in my case, but turns out React Native (language which Thunkable is based upon) itself doesn’t have dynamically changing color properties. Therefore colors / some other properties of navigators can’t be changed from blocks. > [@How to edit options/properties of navigators (stack & top nav.) through blocks?](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-edit-options-properties-of-navigators-stack-top-nav-through-blocks/1573105/10): > > @kartik14 I checked the Tab Navigator options in React Native and unfortunately, background color is not part of them. So this option will not work. I’m referring to this article [https://reactnavigation.org/docs/tab-based-navigation/](https://reactnavigation.org/docs/tab-based-navigation/) However, Thunkable might be using an external solution for the navigation in which case will will not know what options are available. As @jared suggested to you here (and in my linked post if you open it), custom one using rows/cols. seems your only option. That’s what I went with too.
