How do you set a screen color to gradient? In other apps, I would be able to add two colors and set top - bottom/ left to right and the angle. Thank you! ---

From what I’m gathering. I have to download the extension and upload it to this? → ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/4/444584c9c10038ae398c25bc276e79c465c71c08.png) ---

You are in the wrong category i changed it. You use Thunkable X and it can not use extensions. ---

Sorry for the novice questions. I just started playing around with Thunkable 2 days ago. It’s a huge bummer to not have extensions in X but I get it. In this case, if I were to have gradient colors on X would I be stuck? I’m also afraid of running into more issues and limitations moving forward. Any tips? ---

You could use a gradient background in it self. ---

@MyClik, Check out this video. I show you how to design gradient pictures on Canva and then use those pictures in Thunkable. Happy Coding! Darren ---
