Hello,

How do I set the background color the title of the datepicker popup in android to my app primary color. also like to change the selected date color

You can create a styles.xml, add custom android:datePickerDialogTheme in it like following code. I add all of properties that can be changed in native android datePicker. You can choose some of them that you want.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>  
   <resources>  
       <style name="MyTheme" parent="MainTheme.Base">  
           <item name="android:datePickerDialogTheme">@style/CustomDatePickerDialog</item>  
       </style>  
     
      <style name="CustomDatePickerDialog" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dialog">  
             <!--header background-->  
             <item name="colorAccent">#009933</item>  
             <!--header textcolor-->  
             <item name="android:textColorPrimaryInverse">#ff9900</item>  
             <!--body background-->  
             <item name="android:windowBackground">#000099</item>  
             <!--selected day-->  
             <item name="android:colorControlActivated">#ff8000</item>  
             <!--days of the month-->  
             <item name="android:textColorPrimary">#ffff00</item>  
             <!--days of the week-->  
             <item name="android:textColorSecondary">#ff0066</item>  
             <!--cancel&ok-->  
             <item name="android:textColor">#00ffff</item>  
        </style>  
   </resources>  

Then, you can set this Theme to your MainActivity. But this action will affect MAUI splash screen in android, if you want to use splash screen, you can refer to this document: splash-screen to create a new one.

   [Activity(Theme = "@style/MyTheme", ....)]  
   public class MainActivity : MauiAppCompatActivity  
   {  
   }
