User Interface (UI) Components
User interface (UI) components make up the visual aspect of your app. Combine, style and customize Thunkable UI components to give your app personality and style that best suits your brand.​
Each UI component you add to your app has an associated properties panel unique to that component. Using the various settings in the properties panel, you can style and customize your Thunkable UI components to give your app personality and style that best suits your brand.
A Label's properties panel is displayed on the right in the example below. Note its unique properties such as font, color, alignment, etc.
The component tree can be found at the top left corner of your project's Designer. The component tree contains a list of the UI components in your app. The expand and collapse arrows show or hide the nested UI components.
Once you’ve perfected a UI component on the Design tab of a drag and drop project, you can duplicate it using copy-and-paste keyboard shortcuts.
To copy and paste a component:
- 1.Click on a component name in the component tree (A) or the component within a screen in your workspace (B).
- 2.Type ctrl+c or command+c on Mac, and ctrl+c on PC, to copy the component.
- 3.Type ctrl+v or command+v on Mac, and ctrl+v on PC, to paste a duplicate of the component.
- 4.Click and drag the new component to position it as you desire.

Once you have designed the UI you want, you can start adding functionality to your app with blocks and app features!
