Hi and welcome to the form I’m copper code I’ve been on the form for about 1 and a bit year but I have been using makecode for 6 years and if you every need any help just ask but I recommend just going into the editor and just making what every you want that’s how I learned to use it and yes I’m not joking I have not done a single tutorial out of my own free will and good luck!!!

If you’re setting the background to a solid color, then just use the `set background color` block.

I think you edited the same project you shared, which generated the same share link. If that doesn’t make any sense, the first link automatically updated to be the second one you sent. If you want the shares to always be different, you have to duplicate your project (there’s a button if you didn’t know to do that). I can also try to explain better next time.
