Hi @DracoVenturus

Thank you for writing in.

From you screenshots, you are only viewing the emulator. You are not viewing the preview which is why you are not seeing it.

You need to click either "Split" or "Design" as indicated in the following image.

You are so very right @johnshea I was seeing what I wanted to see instead of what I actually had to :-) Yes I like the course, I will be a very slow learner, but a learner nonetheless!
