Let’s start to create your first app.

To create a new project:

5.  After selecting the text widget, you can see the properties of the widget on the right side of the app builder. You can change the text on the top of the property.
6.  Drag a container from the element section and put it under the app bar. You can also change his colour in the property section after selecting the container widget.
