Remarks

Transient UI, such as a Flyout or MenuFlyout, closes when you click or tap outside of it. This is called light-dismiss. "Overlay" refers to the area outside of a light-dismiss UI.

By default, the "overlay" is darkened on the Xbox, and not darkened on other devices families. You can set LightDismissOverlayMode to On to make your app darken the "overlay" area on all device families, or set it to Off to not darken the "overlay" area on all device families.

For more info, see Light dismiss behavior in the Flyouts article.
