Statusbar color on SplashScreen

Question

Statusbar color on SplashScreen

NickNN 40

Hi, I'm trying change the status bar background color. In app views the change works, but on splash screen not work.

I've followed this tutorial (https://blog.ewers-peters.de/lets-customize-the-splash-screen-of-a-maui-app), in which the author creates custom themes for that, but I got this error:

ATP2260 resource style/MyTheme not found

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Hello,

ATP2260 resource style/MyTheme not found

After testing, this issue can be successfully reproduced.

The solution is that you need to change the Build Action of colors.xml and styles.xml.

Right-click on the xml file, select Properties, and set the Build Action to AndroidResource.

Best Regards,

Perfect, thanks. This has solved that problem.

But I want to make the status bar white in the splashScreen and from what I'm seeing it doesn't let me add a color and assign it, it forces me to change the value of 'colorPrimaryDark'.

Is there any option to create a new color and assign it to the statusbar?

Thank you
