    appBar: AppBar(title: const Text("Onboarding example")),
    body: Column(children: [
      Timeline.builder(
        context: context,
        markerCount: 10,
        properties: TimelineProperties(
            iconAlignment: MarkerIconAlignment.center,
            iconSize: 16,
            timelinePosition: TimelinePosition.start),
        markerBuilder: (context, index) => Marker(

            padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
            child: Text("Step ${index + 1}"),
