Mac Catalyst has not been tested yet

But it should be working 😃 ?

Android Compatibility issues

Warning, because of LayerDrawable the Acrylic glow effect (the white glow on the top of the MaterialFrame is only available on API 23+ (since Marshmallow).

iOS limitations

For some yet to be discovered reasons, AcrylicBlur value doesn't work in a dynamic context on iOS.

You can change the BlurStyle dynamically, but a dynamic change from a not blurry theme to the AcrylicBlur theme will result in a transparent frame.

Presentation

The Xamarin.Forms MaterialFrame aims at delivering out of the box modern popular theming such as:

  • Light
  • Dark
  • Acrylic
  • AcrylicBlur

You can switch from one theme to another thanks to the MaterialFrame property.
