When I was using the new Thunkable (the beta one). I was not able to change the background colour.

Hey @code.thunk16n,

Welcome to the Community! 👋

This property isn’t available in the new UI right now. I’ve adde your request to the FAQs here: [👩‍🎨 The future of UI design in Thunkable - #102 by domhnallohanlon](http://community.thunkable.com/t/the-future-of-ui-design-in-thunkable/1035738/102)

We’re prioritising bug fixes and functionality improvements so hopefully this can get added in soon.

What sort of app are you working on and is the absence of a Text Input background colour property blocking you from making progress on the rest of your app?

Also currently building an app w/ the new drag and drop builder and definitely hindered by the missing ability to adjust background colours and text sizes of the input fields. Would highly appreciate this being fixed! 🙂
