Hello,

Is there a way to change background color for them

Yes.

• For Searchbar, please open the Resources\Styles\Styles.xaml file, then find the <Style TargetType="SearchBar"> tag, change the value of <Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="Green" />, I set the green for testing.

====================Update======================

• For Stepper, you can change the background color by Handler. Change the Button's background color by linearLayout.GetChildAt(0).SetBackgroundColor(Android.Graphics.Color.Red);.

   Microsoft.Maui.Handlers.StepperHandler.Mapper.AppendToMapping("MyCustomization", (handler, view) =>
        {
#if ANDROID
             Android.Widget.LinearLayout linearLayout= handler.PlatformView as Android.Widget.LinearLayout;
            linearLayout.GetChildAt(0).SetBackgroundColor(Android.Graphics.Color.Red);
            linearLayout.GetChildAt(1).SetBackgroundColor(Android.Graphics.Color.Red);
#endif        
});
