Is there a way to have a background color for a screen in Thunkable IOS?

does this help me with having a settings screen where there is an option for the user to change the background color of the entire app and to modify the volume of the sound effects?

For sure! You can change the background color of lots of components including the screen itself from within the app. Check the blocks below.
I’m this example. There is 1 button on a white screen. When the only button is pressed, it turns the screen black.
Check out screen 3

can this be done with all the screens in the application? I’m sorry I have just been trying to figure this out for 2 months now ☹
