I'm using Visual Studio 2015 and made a Xamarin project to support iOS, Android and UWP.
I want rebrand the toolbar, and on iOS and Android its possible to set a background color and a picture in the toolbar.
But for Universal Windows Platform this seems impossible.
So I want to set my own TopAppBar with a picture, and hide the current toolbar for UWP;
In my MainPage.xaml.cs I've;
#if __ANDROID__ || __IOS__
ToolbarItems.Add(new ToolbarItem("+", "", () => App.Navigation.PushAsync(new AddAccount())));
#endif
So for UWP there would be no items on the toolbar. But it still appears.
I cannot find any documentation on how to; -customize the toolbar for UWP -hide the toolbar for UWP
I've tried to add a toolbar like so;
var _globalAppBar = new AppBar();
_globalAppBar.Height = 128;
_globalAppBar.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Green);
BitmapImage bmI = new BitmapImage();
bmI = new BitmapImage(new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/logo.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
var imageBrush = new ImageBrush();
imageBrush.ImageSource = bmI;
_globalAppBar.Background = imageBrush;
AppBarButton abbtn = new AppBarButton();
abbtn.Label = "Add";
_globalAppBar.Content = abbtn;
this.BottomAppBar = _globalAppBar;
But that results in having two toolbars at the top...
So it's better to modify the existing toolbar created by Xamarin, but I don't know how to access it from the 'public MainPage()' of the UWP project.
