Hello everyone, is now quite a few months i havent opened Thunkable and i’m struggling with an image in particular: the one from the data list. I can see that from default the background colour is grey: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/8/8832b43152ed914bcdfe8b55cda5598922bb27ba.png) It also shows it in the screen: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/0/80035d9aaca04257d58fcd91fcb09aa3cd8abf76.png) But i’m using and image with white background, which is this one - that i specifically did with a white background: [![](https://i.postimg.cc/gjVgxTgK/icons8-ask-question-96.png) ](https://i.postimg.cc/gjVgxTgK/icons8-ask-question-96.png) Why is it still filling up the image with the grey background? Hope you can help, thank you very much for your time ---

Hey @maurizio.polverini89, thanks for flagging this. Could you share a URL to the image page on icons8 itself? This is the closest one I can find but it has a transparent background so the grey _should_ show in this case. > **[Ask Question icon in Windows 11 Color Style](https://icons8.com/icon/YSdQbX213JrZ/ask-question)** > > Download Ask Question vector icon in Windows 11 Color style. Available in png, svg, pdf, html code. Modify, resize, recolor Ask Question icon, symbol. ---

This is the one from icons8: https:// [img.icons8.com/fluency/48/ask-question.png](http://img.icons8.com/fluency/48/ask-question.png) This is the one i modified to be a white background and tried to upload in a different way https:// i.postimg.cc/gjVgxTgK/icons8-ask-question-96.png Both of them shows in grey background in my screens There are some spaces in the link to make sure it shows as link and not as image ---

Make sure the link is a direct link to an image and not to a web page that has many elements including the image. For the [second link](https://i.postimg.cc/gjVgxTgK/icons8-ask-question-96.png) it should work fine to display in a project. I was able to. Post a link to your project and I may be able to help you figure out what’s wrong. ---

Hello, thank you or your help. To be fair all the links i use are direct link to an imange (as they end up with .png) This is the [link for the project](https://x.thunkable.com/projects/6624c1a8499e4d1fd747c659/172f68a1-f6b4-4f45-bfd5-d2d3310be93f/designer), one of the screen where i’m experiencing this issue is called “FAQ” Thank you for your time ---

> [@maurizio.polverini89](#): > > https:// i.postimg.cc/gjVgxTgK/icons8-ask-question-96.png The second link has a problem, actually. Sometimes when I enter it into a browser, it redirects to this url: > **[icons8 ask question 96 — Postimages](https://postimg.cc/H8LwKBDJ)** But not always which has me really confused. That page looks like this which is not a direct url. Try hosting your images somewhere else. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/9/893e61e3a25f965d5416ae701be3ca539a8e5aad.png) ---
